Assignment#5: Calculate Stress Gradients near ply cracks for<br>
Mechanical, Thermal, and Moisture Loads.
Assignment #5: (200pnts)
Numeric: Calculate Stress Gradients near ply cracks
for Mechanical, Thermal, and Moisture Loads.
Objective: Setup a problem for students to investigate how anisotropy
effects stress gradients (singularities) near ply cracks
a unidirectional fiber-reinforced composite made from alumina
fibers and Polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) polmyer matrix by
using the Interactive Modules provided.
Prerequisites for Student: Lectures based on material in section 6.0
"Laminate Singularities Caused by Ply Cracks: FEM Model". One published
manuscript, Ref[1], on laminate ply cracks will be passed out in class.
From lecture notes and two published manuscripts listed below
to interactive computer program modules #
8,
9, and
10
