Theoretical Investigation into the Thermo-mechanical Stresses in Cross-ply Laminated Composite Cylinder with Finite Length
Abstract
Using series solving method of differential equations, analytical solutions for temperature and thermo-mechanical stresses in cross-ply laminated composite cylinder are presented in this paper. The cylinder is simply supported at its two ends and subjected to non-uniform thermo-mechanical loadings on the inner and outer surfaces. As an example, numerical results of temperature distribution, stress fields of a four-layer laminated composite cylinder are presented and briefly discussed.
