deformation. ( γxz = γyz = 0 ) .
The laminate is thin and is loaded only in its plane (plane stress)
(σz = τxz = τyz = 0 ) .
Displacements are continuous and small throughout the laminate
(| u |, | v |, | w |  | h |) , where h is the laminate thickness.
Each lamina is elastic.
No slip occurs between the lamina interfaces.

Steps
1.
Find the value of the reduced stiffness matrix [Q] for each ply using its four
elastic moduli, E1, E2, v12, G12 in Equation (2.93).
2.
Find the value of the transformed reduced stiffness matrix [ Q ] for each ply
using the [Q] matrix calculated in Step 1 and the angle of the ply in Equation
(2.104) or Equations (2.137) and (2.138).
3.
Knowing the thickness, tk of each ply, find the coordinate of the top and
bottom surface, hi, i = 1, . . . . . . . , n of each ply using Equation (4.20).
4.
Use the [ Q ] matrices from Step 2 and the location of each ply from Step 3 to
find the three stiffness matrices [A], [B] and [D] from Equation (4.28).
5.
Substitute the stiffness matrix values found in Step 4 and the applied forces
and moments in Equation (4.29).
Steps
6. Solve the six simultaneous Equations (4.29) to find
the midplane strains and curvatures.
7. Knowing the location of each ply, find the global
strains in each ply using Equation (4.16).
8. For finding the global stresses, use the stress-strain
Equation (2.103).
9. For finding the local strains, use the transformation
Equation (2.99).
10. For finding the local stresses, use the
transformation Equation (2.94).

D) The portion of the load Nx taken by each ply can be
calculated by integrating the stress  xx through the
thickness of each ply. However, since the stress varies
linearly through each ply, the portion of the load Nx taken
is simply the product of the stress  xx at the middle of
each ply (See Table 4.2) and the thickness of the ply.
Portion of load Nx taken by 00 ply = 4.464(104)(5)(10-3)
= 223.2 N/m
Portion of load Nx taken by 300 ply = 1.063(105)(5)(10-3) = 531.5 N/m
Portion of load Nx taken by -450 ply = 4.903(104)(5)(10-3) = 245.2 N/m
The sum total of the loads shared by each ply is 1000 N/m,
(223.2 + 531.5 + 245.2) which is the applied load in the x-direction, Nx.
