Analysis Of Composite Laminates Under UD Loads Using CLPT

The book "Analysis Of Composite Laminates Under UD Loads Using CLPT" offers a comprehensive examination of the properties of composite laminates under unidirectional loads. It covers the fundamentals of composite materials, defined as a combination of two or more different materials that provide superior performance compared to the individual components. The focus is on the analysis of laminates made up of multiple layers designed to function as integral structural elements. The authors, Subrahmanyam Vasamsetti and Satish Geeri, explain how the number of layers and their arrangement affect the strength of the laminate structure. In particular, it investigates how the material orientations impact the strength of rectangular and square laminates, as well as the effects of lateral loads on the layers.
