نویسندگان
چکیده
A review is made on the dierent methods used for the estimation of transverse/interlaminar stresses in laminated composite plates and shells. Both analytical and numerical methods are considered. In numerical methods while the emphasis is given on ®nite element methods, other methods like the ®nite dierence method is also brie ̄y discussed. Aspects considered are: eects of variation in geometric and material parameters, transverse shear and normal deformation, interface stress continuity and the interfacial bonding on the accuracy of prediction of transverse/interlaminar stresses. Finally some general conclusions are presented along with future directions of research on the analysis of multilayered composite plates and shells for free-edge eects.

On the feasibility of using thermal gradients for active control of interlaminar stresses in laminated composites
In this paper, a method is proposed to actively control interlaminar stresses near the free edges of laminated composites by though-thickness thermal gradients. Theoretical solutions are given for optimal steady-state throughthickness temperature distributions under uniaxial loading that are required to eliminate or reduce the interlaminar stresses below a prescribed level. The optimal solution...
متن کاملApplication of Pulse Method to Incremental Slitting Measurement of Residual Stresses in Laminated Composites
In this research, the incremental slitting method was employed to determine throughthickness residual stress profile of a carbon/epoxy laminate. The method involves measuring strains at the back surface of the stressed specimen, while a narrow slit is cut by a CNC milling machine progressively from the top surface of the specimen. "Pulse Method" was selected as the computational approach for th...

A two-phase scheme for accurate predictions of interlaminar stresses in laminated plate and shell structures has been addressed in this study. A modified superconvergent patch recovery (MSPR) technique has been utilized to obtain accurate nodal in-plane stresses which are subsequently used with the thickness integration of the three-dimensional equilibrium equations to evaluate the transverse s...
متن کاملA Numerical and Analytical Solution for the Free Vibration of Laminated Composites Using Different Plate Theories
An analytical and numerical solution for the free vibration of laminated polymeric composite plates with different layups is studied in this paper. The governing equations of the laminated composite plates are derived from the classical laminated plate theory (CLPT) and the first-order shear deformation plate theory (FSDT). General layups are evaluated by the assumption of cross-ply and angle-p...
