Tutorial Problem of Maximum Stress Theory

Consider a [30/0]s laminate made from AS1/3501-6 material


a. If this laminate is fabricated at 125 oC and cooled to room
temperature of 25oC. Determine the thermal residual
stresses in the laminate.
b. For an applied loading of Nx only, determine the loading at
which the first and third ply failure using the maximum
stress theory.

1 = 6.34 10 6 / C
2 = 23.3 10 6 / C
