Laminated plates

definitions
Unidirectional: orientation direction is identical for all
laminates
Angle-ply:
Cross ply:
Fiber orientation alternates between +theta to –theta from the
stress normal
…/q/-q/q/-q/…
Fibers in alternating plies are at right angles to each other
…/0/90/0/90/…
Symmetric: fiber orientation in the stack is symmetric about
the center line of the laminate
+
Symmetric laminate examples
7 ply stack:
This stack is symmetrical about
the centerline of the 4th ply
The stack order is a ‘mirror’
reflection about the centerline
We will need the average height
of the ply above the centerline.

This stack is symmetrical about
the interface between ply 4 and
ply 5
The stack order is a ‘mirror’

Antisymmetric
Ply orientation is antisymmetric about the centerline of the
laminate
For each ply with fiber orientation angle, q, above the
midplane, this is a ply of fiber orientation angle, –q, with
identical material and thickness and equal distance below
the midplane
q(z)=-q(-z)
q/-q/q/-q
is antisymmetric
q/-q/-q/q is symmetric
+
Unsymmetric laminate
Unsymmetric: q1/q2/q3; random placement of angles
Quasi-isotropic laminate: equal angles between adjacent
lamina, increment is p/n

+45/0/-45/-90
0/+60/-60

Quasi-isotropic laminates
Quasi-isotropic laminate: equal angles between adjacent
lamina, increment is p/n
+60/0/-60
+45/0/-45/-90
0/+60/-60
0/+45/-45/90
A common quasi-isotropic symmetrical stacking sequence is:
[0/±45/90]s
+
Code examples
[0/45/90]s: 1st angle is for the outermost ply, last angle is for
the innermost ply; s subscript means symmetrical
The bar over 90 indicates that the plan of symmetry passes
midway through the thickness of the 90 degree laminate
±45 implies adjacent +45 and -45 degrees laminates
04: four adjacent zero degree plies
(±45)2: two grouped, adjacent ±45 degree plies

Lamination theory

Step-by-step procedure
1.
Calculate stiffness matrices for the laminate
2.
Calculate the midplane strains and curatures for the
laminate due to specific applied forces
3.
Calculate in-plane stresses, exx, eyy, gxy, for each lamina
4.
Calculate in-plane strains, sxx, syy, txy, for each lamina
+
Assumptions
Laminate is thin, wide: w>>t
Perfect interlaminar bonds
Strain distribution in the thickness direction is linear
All laminas are macroscopically homogeneous and behave
linearly elastically
+
Laminate strains
Since strain distribution in z direction is linear,
e xx = e + z × kxx
