Introduction
The transverse (through-the-thickness) elastic properties of
continuous fibre reinforced composite laminated plates, of the type
shown in Sketch 1.1, are, to a large extent, dependent upon the
properties of the matrix material used to bond the fibres together.
For many matrix materials, these properties can be very low
compared with those in the direction of the reinforcing fibres,
with the result that significant deflections can be caused by
through-the-thickness shear stresses which arise in plate bending.
In order to take this behaviour into account, it is necessary to
obtain values for the shear stiffness terms that relate the
transverse shear force resultants to the transverse shear strains.
This Item together with the accompanying ESDUpac A8913 presents a
Fortran computer program for the determination of these stiffnesses
for laminated plates, without restriction on the type of lay-up.
The plates are considered to be built up from thin orthotropic
homogeneous layers with perfect bonding between them. The layers
may have different material elastic properties, thicknesses and
orientations of their principal axes of orthotropy. The analysis is
also applicable to thick sandwich panels.
This Data Item consists of three parts. Section 1 describes the
theoretical solution to the title problem and its limitations in
application to practical panels. Section 2 describes the input and
output for the program of ESDUpac A8913 and gives example
calculations.
