Abstract
In developing the laminate constitutive equation for the determination of laminate stiffness, stress and strength, a plane stress condition was assumed. The laminate was regarded as a thin element and all induced stresses were in the plane of the laminate, with zero out-of-plane, or interlaminar, stresses. Generally, a plane stress analysis is accurate for structures made from thin-walled elements.
