This document discusses a tutorial problem on maximum stress theory for a laminate made of AS1/3501-6 material. It asks to determine the thermal residual stresses in the laminate given it was fabricated at 125°C and cooled to 25°C, and to determine the loading at which the first and third ply will fail under an applied Nx load using 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.
