Plane stress • z components of stress are zero . Thin plates • We use plane stress for analyzing stresses in the skins of wings. But they are subject to pressure loads, hence . How come?
It is not plane strain! • The strain in the z direction is not zero. We had . So • In upper skin, in-plane stresses tend to be compressive so is tensile, promoting delamination.
Hooke’s law • We introduce notation for composites that is not normally used for isotropic materials • Inverse relationship is simpler
Single isotropic layer • Uniaxial loading • Stress and strain
Symmetrically laminated layers • Symmetry needed so that in-plane stress will not cause bending. • Stress in kth layer • Stress resultants
A matrix • Substituting from Hooke’s law get • For isotropic layers • Effective moduli
Example 2.2.1 • Sandwich laminate of aluminum and brass • Properties: , , • Obtain , , • How do we check?
