Abstract

In order to further study free edge effect in composite laminates, a new method is developed. This method is based on the perturbation and modified method of least square. In this paper, we emphatically discuss the solution within the boundary layer region, the socalled inner solution. As an example, we will discuss structures composed of two and four symmetric laminates.
