Hw5

    I am kind of confused with this question.

    We are asked to calculate the effective properties of a laminate made of 4 homogeneous laminae/layers. How do we do this using the Hybrid Rules of Mixtures?

    In the lecture notes (Sec 5.7.2 on Effective properties of laminates made of homogeneous layers), we have considered the in-plane strains and transverse stresses as constants(from the exact solution).

    Instead for this problem, are we supposed to consider longitudinal strain component and all other stress components as constants and then derive relations (similar to those given in sec 5.7.2 but different)?

    My doubt is cleared now. Section 5.7.2 is already using Hybrid Rules of Mixtures. Sorry for the confusion.
