ELASTO-PLASTIC STRESS ANALYSIS OF THERMOPLASTIC MATRIX COMPOSITE LAMINATED PLATES UNDER IN-PLANE LOADING

Abstract

Thermoplastic matrix reinforced with metal fiber, composite laminated plates were anufactured by using moulds. The symmetric and antisymmetric laminated plates were loaded by in-plane forces. An elastic-plastic numerical solution has been carried out by finite element technique (FEM) for some load steps. Residual stresses and expansion of plastic zone have been illustrated in tables and figures.
