Advanced Composites Data for Aircraft Structural Design. Volume 3: Theoretical Methods

Abstract

This volume summarizes the development of theoretical methods of analysis for orthotropic laminated composite structure. An appendix to this volume presents a number of computer programs that were generated in conjunction with these theoretical developments. The main body of this volume is comprised of independent sections devoted to the following topics: EXTENSIONAL AND FLEXURAL ELASTIC CONSTANTS, FLAT PLATES, ORTHOTROPIC SANDWICH PLATES AND SHELLS STIFFENED SKIN CONSTRUCTION, MINIMUM WEIGHT ANALYSIS, THERMOELASTIC RELATIONSHIPS, AND JOINT ANALYSIS. The appendix presents, for each computer program, an abstract, data input instructions, output description, and a typical example problem. The listed programs cover the following subjects: calculation of laminate extensional and flexural elastic constants; honeycomb sandwich panels under in-plane biaxial loading, in-plane shear loading, normal pressure, and certain combined loadings; hat-and Z-stiffened panel stability and stiffness; and laminate thermoelastic analysis.
