ANALYSIS OF BENDING BEHAVIOR OF ANGLE-PLY THICK LAMINATES OF BIMODULUS COMPOSITE MATERIALS

Using the Ritz Method and Finite-Layer Method, The bending of angle-ply thick laminates of bimodulus composite materials with simply supported boundary conditions is investigated. The effects of various parameters such as aspect ratio, side-to thickness ratio, orthotropic ratio, multimodulus ratio and ply-angle on the center deflection of laminates are discussed.
