A generalized plane deformation analysis for predicting the thermoelastic response of post- and insitu- consolidated filament wound cylinders Each layer of the laminate is assumed to be both quasi homogeneous and orthotropic. The cylinder is axisymmetric and infinite.  The laminate can only be loaded with internal pressure, external pressure, axial load, torsion, thermal

Thick wall Plane Strain Composite Cylinder Design  Fibers are uniformly distributed throughout the matrix. Perfect bonding between fibers and matrix. Matrix is free of voids. Applied loads are either parallel or normal to the fiber direction. Lamina is initially in a stress-free state (no residual stresses). Fiber and matrix behave as linearly elastic

Classical laminated Theory model for predicting effective elastic properties and ply level stresses and strains Each layer of the laminate is assumed to be both quasi homogeneous and orthotropic. The laminate is thin with its lateral dimensions is much larger than its thickness. The laminate is only loaded in the in-plane directions. All

The micromechanics model is used to solve for effective properties using a rule of mixtures approach Fibers are uniformly distributed throughout the matrix. Perfect bonding between fibers and matrix. Matrix is free of voids. Applied loads are either parallel or normal to the fiber direction. Lamina is initially in a stress-free state (no

The SMARTree client has the ability to run a model interactively within the client. This is done by having "Model" and "Template" SMART Tagged SMARTrees withing your library then selecting this model from the model drop down within the model ribbon. A variety of these SMARTrees are available freely on our GitLab site. The YouTube
