Abstract
A new approach for three-dimensional stress analyses in composite cylindrical shells is presented. The method of composite expansions along with Hellinger-Reissner variational formulation is employed to derive the interior and edge layer problems for high order approximations. Classical assumptions have been justified and new approximations have been established. These formulations are directed especially towards, new high integrity mixed-hybrid finite element schemes. The expository examples chosen are of cross-ply and angle-ply laminated shells. The circumferential location of the delamination failure initiation, for angle-ply laminates containing a circular hole, is within a sector located symmetrically around the perpendicular direction to the applied load.
