The Effect of Temperature on the Stresses Analysis of Composites Laminate Plate

摘要

In this paper, the derivation of analytic formulation of stresses analysis has been done using the theory of classical laminate plate. The method of Navier solution is used in the calculation. The composite laminate plate is exposed to out-off plane temperature. The temperature gradient of thermal shock is varied between (60 Co and -15 Co ). The analytic results of normal stresses are checked and verified using ANSYS software. The normal stress and strain values are decreased sinusoidal and exponentially with the increasing of aspect ratio and fiber volume fraction respectively under the effect of temperature (60 Co ) along x and y directions. For (-15 Co ), the value of normal strain is decreased with the increasing of fiber volume fraction along x and y directions.
