ABSTRACT

We propose here to justify practical calculation methods relating to the laminate as described in the first part (see Chapter 5). We study the behavior of the laminate when it is subjected to combined loads: In-plane resultants and bending and torsional moments. This study is essential to achieve correct sizing. The case of quadrangular symmetric (Quad) laminates is detailed. Depending on the application case, it is necessary to verify either that the deformation of the laminate does not exceed the admissible value, or that the state of stress remains within an acceptable envelope.
