Laminated beam analysis
Description
Finite element analysis is used to determine the response of two beams which are identical in every respect except internal construction. One beam is a laminated beam with discrete materials. The other is modeled as a single material beam with material properties chosen to mimic the response of the laminated beam. The results of the two analyses are compared directly and indirectly by using the single material beam to predict the stress state of the laminated beam. The technique of using a single material to represent several materials is shown to be useful when the analyst uses care in interpreting the results. 7 figs
