Course Objective

While an understanding of lamina mechanical behavior is essential to the development of theories for the analysis of composite structures, the unidirectional lamina alone is generally not very useful as a structural element because of its poor transverse properties. Composite structures are more likely to be in the form of laminates consisting of multiple laminae, or plies, oriented in the desired directions and bonded together in a structural unit. This fact will be followed by a discussion of the more general Classical Lamination Theory which makes it possible to analyze the complex coupling effects that may occur in laminates. Other aspects of laminate analysis, such
as prediction of thermal and residual stresses, and laminate strength will be discussed.
