RETRACTED: Buckling analysis of the composite plates with delaminations

It has come to our attention that there is very substantial duplication of text and content between this Computational Materials Science article and an earlier paper by the same authors in THE ANNALS OF UNIVERSITY “DUNĂREA DE JOS” OF GALAÅ¢I FASCICLE VIII, 2009 (XV), ISSN 1221-4590, Issue 2, TRIBOLOGY, page 168 to 173. One of the conditions of submission of a paper for publication is that authors declare explicitly that their work is original and has not appeared in a publication elsewhere. Re-use of any data should be appropriately cited. As such this article represents a severe abuse of the scientific publishing system. The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and apologies are offered to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process.
