DESCRIPTION
Laminates of Orthotropic plies. Section 2.4.3 for in-plane loading only Hooke’s law for k- th ply Stress resultants. A Matrix. Basic equation is the same as in isotropic case, , but 16 and 26 terms We now use the Tsai-Pagano “invariants” Leading to lamination parameters. - PowerPoint PPT PresentationTRANSCRIPT

Typical stiffness optimization problemNo stresses in individual plies, so no credible failure constraint.
When 0-deg, 90-deg and 45-deg plies are present this is reasonable even for strength.
