where, σij denote the stress components and the tensile and compressive allowable
strengths for lamina are denoted by subscripts T and C, respectively. XT, YT, ZT denotes
the allowable tensile strengths in three respective material directions. Similarly, X C, YC,
ZC denotes the allowable compressive strengths in three respective material directions.
Further, S12, S13 and S23 denote allowable shear strengths in the respective principal
material directions.
