  Abstract

  The edge effect in composite materials is a phenomenon associated with the anisotropy of these materials, generating interlaminar shear and tensile stresses and delaminations at the edges of the panels. This fact was studied by Pipes and Pagano in 1973, obtaining a solution to solve the problem with certain application limitations. This document aims to show a solution to the problem based on the studies carried out since then and use a method capable of evaluating these interlaminar forces, as well as a preliminary failure criterion associated with it. Different parameters can be evaluated such as the thickness of the sheets, the combination of materials or different laminate sequences.
