Description
/li>
An innovative invariant-based approach developed makes trace of the plane
stress stiffness matrix as the heart and soul of composite materials. It
can put order in both stiffness and strength of composite laminates.
Testing unidirectional [0] specimens should provide enough information for
the prediction of the failure envelope of laminates. Then, laminates can
be tested "as-built" and data compared to the predicted properties using a
master stress-strain template, which greatly reduces the number of tests
required. This method can be much more effective than the traditional
building block approach. With fewer specimens to be tested, emphasis can
be placed on the quality of laminates as reflected by the conversion of
stiffness and strength from processing and its associated defects.
Environmental effects such as hot-wet conditions can also be accounted for
through their respective trace values. This new approach unlocks the
mystery of composites design and opens up many opportunities in laminate
design and manufacturing.
