STRESS ANALYSIS OF THE METAL-MATRIX COMPOSITE MATERIAL UNDER TORSION
Abstract
In this study, stress analysis has been investigated in the metal-matrix composite materials which has rectangular section, four ply and cross-forced. In the solution of the problem, the method of the analytic solution of the elasticity theory and the solution for torsion of homogeneous orthotropic plates has been used and the results of the study has been evaluated and compared to the other. The study has been realised on the composite materials which has four ply laminate and made of steel fiber–aluminium matrix and in both the [0/45]s and the [45/0]s lay –ups. In the results of the study has been demonstrated that the solution for the torsion of homogeneous orthotropic plates is more convenient and practice than the analytic solution by making requirement modifications.
