Free Edge Stress Fields in Composite Laminates.

Abstract

A new theory to predict stress fields within composite laminates is employed to solve the free edge class of boundary value problems. In this theory, the stress field determination reduces to the solution of a one-dimensional problem which is solved by classical methods of ordinary differential equations. No singularities are present in the new theory. (Author)
