TLDR
In this article, the response of a finite-width composite laminate under uniform axial strain is treated through the application of classical elasticity theory, and finite-difference solution techniques are employed to obtain solutions for stresses and displacements throughout the region.Abstract:
The response of a finite-width composite laminate under uniform axial strain is treated through the application of classical elasticity theory. Finite-difference solution techniques are employed to obtain solutions for stresses and displacements throughout the region. Results for material properties typical of a high modulus graphite-epoxy composite material system are presented which explain the mechanism of shear transfer within a symmetric laminate. In addition, results of this work are compared to those given in a recent approximate formulation.read more

Interlaminar Effects in Fiber-Reinforced Plastics-A Review
TL;DR: The two-phase nature of a fiber-reinforced polymer gives rise to a multiplicity of possible failure modes as mentioned in this paper, and the mode of failure depends not only upon the intrinsic fiber and resin properties, but also upon the extrinsic fiber properties.

An anisotropic damage model for the description of transverse matrix cracking in a graphite–epoxy laminate
TL;DR: In this article, an anisotropic damage model is presented for a T300/976 graphite-epoxy laminated strip with a central hole and the results are compared to experimental results from Lessard and Chang [L.B. Lessard, F.K. Chang, Compos. Mater. 25 (1991) 44].

Characterizing and modelling delamination of carbon-fiber epoxy laminates during abrasive waterjet cutting
TL;DR: In this article, a fluid-structure interaction model was used to simulate the abrasive waterjet cutting of a carbon-fiber/epoxy laminate and the structural domain used cohesive zone modeling to predict delamination along the ply interfaces.

A traction-free-edge hybrid-stress element for the analysis of edge effects in cross-ply laminates
TL;DR: In this article, a hybrid-stress formulation for multilayer cross-ply laminates under uniform inplane strain is presented and a special-purpose element is developed for which the traction-free edge conditions are exactly satisfied.

TL;DR: In this article, an analysis of interlaminar shear stresses is performed for a laminate under generalized plane stresses, where the laminate is modeled as a set of anisotropic layers separated by isotropic adhesive layers.
