In the [-45/45/-45]T laminate, notice the [B] matrix is 0 in every element. This is to be
expected due to the symmetry of the laminate. For this laminate, when a force is applied along
the x-axis, the majority of the stress exists along the x-axis, as expected. There is also a
significant amount of shear on the middle layer of the lamina. When a moment is applied to this
laminate, the stress along the x and y axes are similar even though the moment is only applied
on the x-axis. This is due to the direction of each layer within the laminate. Because the matrix
will be aligned with each layer within the laminate, theses matrices with support a stress at an
angle along the direction of the matrix, which means a stress will exist along the laminate that is
a different direction than the applied moment.
The [0/45/90/-45/-45/90/45/0]T laminate differs significantly from the previous one due to
the complexity of the arrangement. When a moment is applied along the x-axis, the greatest
stress occurs along the x-axis at the outer edge of the laminate where the orientation of the
layer is 0. This is a reasonable result because you would assume that the greatest stress would
occur as far away from the neutral axis as possible (Stress increases as |z| increases). Because
the orientation of this layer is parallel with the axis the moment is being applied on, it is also
expected that most of the stress would be along the x-axis. When A force along the x-axis is
applied, most of the stress is again along the x-axis on the outer layer of the laminate, while
shear, and stress along the y-axis also exist. It is important to note the significant discontinuities
of the outputted stress and shear. The existence of these discontinuities show that these values
will contain significant error at the interface of each layer.
