Abstract

In this work, full stress tensor components regarding stress state for a simmetrical composite laminate under uniform uniaxial extension have been determined. Off-plane stresses are specially meaningful due to the fact that they are responsible for failure mechanisms such as delamination [...]

Abstract

An analytic approach for determining interlaminar stresses in rectangular [θ/-θ]s laminates subjected to an axial load has been adapted to the case of [θ1/θ2/θ3/θ4]s laminates. The coupling effects of each part of the laminate are compensated [...]
