A Dimensionless Analysis of Young's Modulus and Stress Distribution for Orthotropic Materials

Hsien-Liang Yeh*,Hsien-Yang Yeh

The effect of various offaxis angles and lamina material properties on the axial and transverse modulus of the orthotropic lamina under off-axis loading is studied. Also, the stress distribution of the orthotropic composite plate containing a circular cutout with normal pressure distributed uniformly along the opening edge is investigated. Through the generalized Hooke’s law and plane stress condition, a dimensionless analysis is used to evaluate the influence of various elastic moduli E1, E2, G12 and ν12 on the axial and transverse modulus of the orthotropic lamina under various off-axis loadings. Moreover, based on the generalized Hooke’s law, the generalized plane stress and the complex variable method, a dimensionless analysis is used to evaluate the influence of various elastic moduli E1, E2, G12 and ν12 on the stress distribution along the boundary of the circular cutout of the orthotropic plate with normal pressure distributed uniformly along the opening edge. The results obtained from this dimensionless analysis provide a set of general design guidelines for structural laminates with high precision requirements in the engineering applications.
