A mathematical model is developed and methods of analysis are formulated for determining the structural response of the single-lap and symmetric-lap joints composed of generally orthotropic material systems. Analytical results are compared in both instances with experimental data and excellent correlation is seen to exist.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
