The stress x = (4.5 + 0.03XX) MPa and makes the angle = 30o with respect to
the principal fibre direction.
The following properties (determined with micromechanics) of the fibrous
composite with respect to the material axes are given:
fLt = 1500 MPa;
fTt = 50 MPa;
fLTs = 35 MPa;
Lt = 1ult = 0.035;
Tt = 2ult = 0.002;
LT = 12ult = 0.0075
EL = E1 = 49,230 MPa
ET = E2 = 8,380 MPa
GLT = G12 = 3064 MPa
LT = 12 = 0.273
TL = 21 = 0.046
1. Determine the state of stress in the composite element and check the strength
of the composite material using the failure criteria.

SOLUTION
Consider an orthotropic lamina with its principal material axes oriented at an
angle with references (global) coordinate system as shown in Figure 2.

Since the direct stresses 1 and 2 are positive the following procedure can be
applied:
sin = s = 0.5; cos = c = 0.865
x = 4.5 MPa; y= 0; xy = 0 1= 3.367 MPa
2 = 1.125 MPa
12 = 1.946 Mpa
Therefore
1= 3.367 MPa < 1500 MPa
2 = 1.125 MPa < 50 MPa
12 = 1.946 Mpa < 35 MPa

Failure is avoided if the left-hand side of the above equation is < 1, and
failure occurs if the left-hand side is 1.
