ABSTRACT

This chapter is at the second level of difficulty (graduate). Seventeen cases are studied, among which we can cite: Procedure for a Quad-laminate calculation program, residual thermal stress due to the laminate curing process, creep of a polymeric tube reinforced by filament wound under thermal stress, first-ply failure of a laminate and ultimate strength, carbon/epoxy wing spar, sailboat hull in glass/polyester, pure torsion of orthotropic plate, thermoelastic behavior of a balanced fabric ply, etc.
