Notcheffect on J and Amplification of Anisotropic Stress Concentration Factor in a Laminated Plate Subjected to Tensile Load

Article Preview

Abstract:

Several analytical, numerical and experimental techniques are available to study the stress concentration around the notches. The stress distribution in a rectangular composite laminated plate with a central notch was studied using the finite element method. The objective of this study is to analyze the fibre orientation effect on the variation of stress concentrations at the notch root and the J-integral at the crack-tip emanating from this notch in a plate subjected to tensile loading. The results show that the anisotropic stress concentration factor can be higher or lower than that of a homogeneous material. The area of maximum normal and tangential stresses could shift with fibre orientation with respect to the loading axis. The interaction effect between a crack located on the ligament of the plate and the circular notch of radius is considered.The results indicate that fold sequence influences appreciably the acceleration or the retardation of the crack propagation.
