Interlaminar Stresses in Symmetric Angle-Ply Laminates Subjected to Anticlastic Bending Deformation
04 Jun 2014 | Tool Information
The aim of the present work is to develop a solution for the interlaminar stress field in a symmetric and balanced, angle-ply laminate subjected to anticlastic bending deformation. Further, this class of problems is considered in order to elucidate the behavior of angle-ply laminates...
