Edge Stresses in a Composite Strip Subjected to Axial Temperature Gradients, Part I: Development of the Theoretical Solution

Abstract: In Part I of this paper, a combination of Airy stress functions and direct displacement functions is utilized to obtain the plane elasticity solution for the stresses and displacements in a multilayer laminated anisotropic strip subjected to a temperature gradient that is arbitrarily symmetric in the longitudinal direction. The method of analysis utilized departs from previous works in that an eigenfunction solution is developed assuming a length coordinate expansion of the stresses and displacements, with an … Show more

“…Wang and Choi [11] used Lekhnitskii's stress functions and eigenfunction method to investigate the interfacial stresses near the free edge. Swett and Shiflett [12] incorporated a combination of Airy's stress function and direct displacement function to study edge stress in a multi-layered strip subjected to a temperature gradient. Yan et al [13] used finite element method to study the mixed mode delamination in laminated composite.…”

“…For example, in a cross-ply laminate, where the coefficients of thermal expansion depend also on ply orientation [8][9][10], the thermal stresses are estimated to be as high as the transverse strength [5,11], producing a reduction of strain to failure and developing transverse microcracks and delaminations [12][13][14][15]. Through-thickness thermal stresses affect material performance by influencing the fracture energy for delamination [16], fatigue life [15], in-plane and interlaminar shear properties [17][18][19][20] and peel stresses [21,22].…”
