Abstract

This chapter presents the solution of some standard calculation problems based on the classical laminate theory. Each solution presents the major result plots or tables obtained in CLAT. The presented problems comprise the calculation of stresses and strains in symmetric and asymmetric laminates, the application of failure criteria, and the ply-by-ply failure of laminates. In addition, the characterization of basic properties of unidirectional laminae based on pole diagrams for the elastic properties and failure envelopes is presented.

Notes

  1. 1.

    A prepreg is a ready to mold or cure sheet which may be tow, tape, cloth, or mat impregnated with resin MIL-HDBK-17/1F (2002).

  2. 2.

    Any load value can be provided here since the calculation is only about elastic constants.

  3. 3.

    Any load value can be provided here since the calculation is only about elastic constants.
