  21. Steps 6. Solve the six simultaneous Equations (4.29) to find the midplane strains and curvatures. 7. Knowing the location of each ply, find the global strains in each ply using Equation (4.16). 8. For finding the global stresses, use the stress-strain Equation (2.103). 9. For finding the local strains, use the transformation Equation (2.99). 10. For finding the local stresses, use the transformation Equation (2.94).

  23. Problem A [0/30/-45] Graphite/Epoxy laminate is subjected to a load of Nx = Ny = 1000 N/m. Use the unidirectional properties from Table 2.1 of Graphite/Epoxy. Assume each lamina has a thickness of 5 mm. Find • the three stiffness matrices [A], [B] and [D] for a three ply [0/30/-45] Graphite/Epoxy laminate. • mid-plane strains and curvatures. • global and local stresses on top surface of 300 ply. • percentage of load Nx taken by each ply.

  24. Solution • A) From Example 2.4, the reduced stiffness matrix for the 00 Graphite/Epoxy ply is

  25. From Equation (2.99), the transformed reduced stiffness matrix for each of the three plies are

  26. The total thickness of the laminate is h = (0.005)(3) = 0.015 m. The mid plane is 0.0075 m from the top and bottom of the laminate. Hence using Equation (4.20), the location of the ply surfaces are h0 = -0.0075 m h1 = -0.0025 m h2 = 0.0025 m h3 = 0.0075 m

  27. From Equation (4.28a), the extensional stiffness matrix [A] is

  28. The [A] matrix

  29. From Equation (4.28b), the coupling stiffness matrix [B] is

  30. The B Matrix

  31. From Equation (4.28c), the bending stiffness matrix [D] is

  32. The [D] matrix

  33. B) Since the applied load is Nx =Ny = 1000N/m, the mid-plane strains and curvatures can be found by solving the following set of simultaneous linear equations (Equation 4.29).

  34. Mid-plane strains and curvatures

  35. C) The strains and stresses at thetop surface of the 300 ply are found as follows. First, the top surface of the 300 ply is located at z = h1 = -0.0025 m. From Equation (4.16),

  37. Using the stress-strain Equations (2.98) for an angle ply,

  39. The local strains and local stress as in the 300 ply at the top surface are found using transformation Equation (2.94) as

  41. Table 4.4 Local stresses (Pa) in Example 4.3

  42. D) The portion of the load Nxtaken by each ply can be calculated by integrating the stress through the thickness ofeach ply. However, since the stress varies linearly through each ply, the portion of the load Nx taken is simply the product of the stress at the middle of each ply (See Table 4.2) and the thickness of the ply. Portion of load Nx taken by 00 ply = 4.464(104)(5)(10-3) = 223.2 N/m Portion of load Nx taken by 300 ply = 1.063(105)(5)(10-3) = 531.5 N/m Portion of load Nx taken by -450 ply = 4.903(104)(5)(10-3) = 245.2 N/m The sum total of the loads shared by each ply is 1000 N/m, (223.2 + 531.5 + 245.2) which is the applied load in the x-direction, Nx.
