Abstract: Efficient and accurate solutions of the interlaminar stresses in a layered beam under a temperature loading are obtained by a variational method using stress functions and the principle of ...

Abstract: Anisotropic laminates with bending-stretching coupling possess eigensolutions that are analytic functions of the complex variables x+μky, where the eigenvalues μk and the corresponding eigenvectors ...

Abstract: The eigenvalue problem associated with the determination of the interlaminar stresses in a laminated strip is examined and physical interpretations are given to the (constant) particular solutions ...

Abstract: A variational method involving Lekhnitskii’s stress functions is used to determine the interlaminar stresses in a multilayered strip of laminate subjected to arbitrary combinations of axial ...
