The Interlaminar Stresses Analysis of Composite Laminated Plates Based on the Generalized Higher-Order Global-Local Plate Theory

Article Preview

Abstract:

A generalized higher-order global-local theory was presented. The transverse shear stresses can be got directly through the constitutive equation without using the equilibrium equation. The second derivative of interpolation function was deduced. The hammer integration of triangular area coordinate method was applied to solve the multiple integration problem of the element stiffness matrix. The order choice of numerical integration was discussed and results obtained through two different integration orders were compared. The flow of how to compile a FORTRAN program was given. A moderately thick composite laminated plate was analyzed via finite element method (FEM) based on the theory and results were compared with that of Paganos three-dimensional elasticity. It shows that the interlaminar stresses are accurate for moderately thick laminated plates.
