Abstract:This work extends the applicability of a recent variational model that has been used for analyzing laminates to determine the stress state in a laminate with alternating material properties in the longitudinal direction subject to tensile and bending loading. For simplicity, a plane stress problem was assumed in this study. The laminate was subdivided in the longitudinal (tensile loading) direction as in the previous analysis. In addition, the laminate was subdivided in the thickness direction by using the ply… Show more
