Analytical Analysis to Predict the Generated Stresses and Strains of Laminated Composite Tube due to Internal Pressure

Abstract:

The aim of this study is to build a MATLAB code to predict the interlaminar radial strains, and stresses developed in a laminated composite tube. This code is only valid for symmetrical laminated composite tubes. The code can solve for tube that is subjected to uniform internal pressure. The written MATLAB code can save time and money compared to experiments and finite element simulations. Then, this code is validated with other published mentioned articles in this study. Good agreement is achieved which it means the built code can be used for the cases that agree with a symmetrical condition. The code is run to solve for radial, hoop, and shear strains. Also, it is used to solve for axial, radial, hoop, and shear stresses.
