For analyzing the stress, strain, and displacement fields in thick-walled anisotropic multilayered composites, sophisticated semianalytical solution methods based on a first-order shear deformation theory have been developed at the Insitut für Leichtbau und Kunststofftechnik and validated in a great number of numerical finite-element simulations and extensive experimental tests. A comparison of results obtained by the different methods for general multilayered composites made from unidirectional, bidirectional, and textile-reinforced layers show a good agreement.
