help. The opportunities to teach and to learn from the students at the
Composite Materials Computation Workshops at the University of
California at Berkeley, and at similar ones in Stuttgart, Tokyo, Osaka,
Peking, and other places are gratefully acknowledged. The formulas in
the book can be conveniently solved by programmable pocket calcula

• The curvature-displacement {k-w) relations in Equation 5.9 must
have negative signs. The twisting curvature must have a factor of 2
to be consistent with the engineering shear strain.
• Symmetry is used for numerous situations.

Figure 1.1 Schematic relations between local and
average stresses:
(a) Micromechanical level where stresses in fiber
and matrix are recognized. This average is the
ply stress.
(h) Macromechanical level where stresses in plies
and ply groups are recognized. This average is
the laminate stress.

The single subscript system can be readily extended to the index nota
tion to be introduced later. The subscript s or 6 is therefore used to
designate the shear component in the x-y plane. The use of subscript 6
for the shear stress component is derived from the 6 components in
3-dimensional stress. Although subscript 3 has occasionally been used
for this shear component, it is a source of confusion since 3 can also be
used for the 3rd normal stress component in 3-dimensional problems.
Subscript 6 is used to avoid this confusion.
The state of stress in a ply or ply group is predominantly plane stress.
The nonzero components of plane stress are those listed in Table 1.1.
The remaining three components are of secondary and local nature and
will not be treated in this book. It is convenient to represent the state
of plane stress in a 3-dimensional stress-space where the three orthog
onal axes correspond to the three stress components. The stress-space is

three unit vectors are shown in Figure 1.2. Typical unit vectors for
simple states of stress will be shown in the following table.
