The Determination of Deflection and Stress Distribution for a Transparent Laminated Beam.

摘要

This report documents the theory and procedures for calculating the elastic deflection and stress distribution of a flat,laminated beam with fixed ends or simply-supported ends comprised of transparency materials subjected to a normal point load at the midpoint of the beam. The development of a computer program using the basic theory is presented along with illustrative examples and a 'user's manual.'The program results have been favorably compared with actual test data and with a finite element method.
