PPT Slide

A layered model system

• Layer thickness is related to the

size of a lamina.

• Thickness ratio is related to the

effective volume fractions of

constituents.

• Number of layers represents the

number of laminates.

• Effective material properties in the out-of-plane direction for fiber fabric layers

will be used.

• Damage evolution and material inelasticity for both components

will be incorporated.
