Thermal Stress Analysis of Cross-ply Laminated Plates using Refined Shear Deformation Theory
Abstract: A refined shear deformation theory is presented for laminated plates under thermal loading. The in-plane displacement field uses sinusoidal function in terms of thickness co-ordinate to include the shear deformation effect. Governing equations and boundary conditions of the theory are obtained using the principle of virtual work. Stresses and deflections of isotropic, orthotropic, symmetric and antisymmetric cross- ply laminated plates subjected to linear thermal loads are obtained. It is to …

Bidirectional Bending of Laminated Plates Using Trigonometric Shear Deformation Theory
Abstract: Bidirectional bending analysis of symmetric cross-ply laminated plates using trigonometric shear deformation theory is presented. Theory takes into account of transverse shear deformation effect without transverse strain effect. Theory uses sinusoidal function in the displacement field in terms of thickness coordinate to include shear deformation effects. It has only three variables. It is to be noted that the present theory satisfies the constitutive relations in respect of transverse shear strain …

Fracture Analysis of FRP Composites under Thermo-Mechanical Loads for Different Geometry Cutouts
Abstract: Fiber-reinforced composites (FRPs) are used extensively in structural and non-structural components of the aerospace and automotive industries. To utilize these materials for structural applications, it is necessary to understand the fracture behavior of the material. In the present investigation of carbon fiber laminates, studies were carried out to understand the fracture toughness characteristics of the carbon fiber laminates with mechanical, thermal, and thermo-mechanical loadings of modes I, II, and III. …
