“…Applications of using multiple fabric layup are also limited in this process. This process also has the tendency to make the fiber reach or exceed the shear lock limit[27] [28].The effect of layer shift on the mechanical behavior of woven fabric laminates has been examined using finite element analysis by Page[42]. Simplified twodimensional generalized plain strain models have been developed for laminates in which the neighboring layers are in phase (no layer shift), out of phase, or 'staggered' with respect to each other (Figure 12).…”
