Abstract

Part I of the design guide provides a brief description of the various models that may be used to predict reliably the effective thermo-elastic properties of unidirectional and laminated composites, for both undamaged and damaged states. The effective thermo-elastic properties can be predicted as a function of crack density using models of stress transfer that take account of the effects of thermal residual stresses. Energy methods are used to predict ply crack formation in multiple ply cross-ply laminates subject to multi-axial loading, and in general symmetric laminates subject to combined biaxial and shear in-plane loading.
