Compute the critical edge load

Reference no: EM131358634

1. Select a material, laminate stacking sequence, and thickness, to carry a uniformly distributed load p = 172 kP a. The plate is 15 cm wide and 2 m long, simply supported around the boundary. You may base your design on the analysis of a plate strip 15 cm long and 1 cm wide, which can be analyzed as a beam.

2. Compute the critical edge load N_x^CRfor a plate simply supported around the boundary, with length a = 2 m (along x), width b = 1 m, t = 1 cm. The laminate is made of E-glass-polyester with V_f= 0.5 with a symmetric configuration defined by α = β = 0.2, γ = 0.6. Compare your answer with given Figure.
