Abstract

The primary objective of the work is to effectively conduct the stress analysis of a laminated composite beam having rectangular sections. An analytical expression is used to calculate stress at each ply considering both narrow- and wide-beam assumption. The material for composite rectangular beam is AS4/3501–6 carbon/epoxy. Three types of lay-ups, chosen for the synthesis, are described collectively for both narrow- and wide-beam criterion. Beam taken here is simply a supported type along with uniformly distributed load, which is kept same for all cases.
