This document summarizes research on analyzing the first ply failure of laminated composite skew plates under concentrated load using finite element analysis. It first describes how a finite element model was developed using shell elements to analyze skew plates of varying skew angles, laminations, and boundary conditions. Three failure criteria (maximum stress, maximum strain, Tsai-Wu) were used to evaluate first ply failure loads. The minimum load from the criteria was taken as the governing failure load. The research aims to determine the effects of various parameters on first ply failure loads and validate the numerical approach through benchmark problems.

Dynamic Relaxation (DR) method is presented for the analysis of geometrically linear laterally loaded, rectangular laminated plates. The analysis uses the Mindlin plate theory which accounts for transverse shear deformations. A computer program has been compiled. The convergence and accuracy of the DR solutions of isotropic, orthotropic, and laminated plates for elastic small deflection response are established by comparison with different exact and approximate solutions. The present Dynamic Relaxation (DR) method shows a good agreement with other analytical and numerical methods used in the verification scheme. It was found that: The convergence and accuracy of the DR solution were dependent on several factors which include boundary conditions, mesh size and type, fictitious densities, damping coefficients, time increment and applied load. Also, the DR small deflection program using uniform meshes can be employed in the analysis of different thicknesses for isotropic, orthotropic or laminated plates under uniform loads in a fairly good accuracy.

This document presents a higher-order deformation theory and finite element formulation for the sensitivity analysis and optimization of multilayered composite plate structures. The theory assumes a nonlinear variation of the displacement field through the thickness using higher-order polynomials. A 9-node Lagrangian finite element is developed using this theory with 11, 9, or 7 degrees of freedom per node. The element model is used to evaluate sensitivities of structural response like stresses, deflections, natural frequencies and buckling loads with respect to design variables like ply angles and thicknesses. Several examples are provided to demonstrate the model's application to optimization problems with various objectives and constraints.
A composite material can be defined as a combination of two or more materials that
gives better properties than those of the individual components used alone. In contrast to
metallic alloys, each material retains its separate chemical, physical, and mechanical
properties. The two constituents are reinforcement and a matrix. The main advantages of
composite materials are their high strength and stiffness combined with low density when
compared to classical materials. Micromechanical approach is found to be more suitable for
the analysis of composite materials because it studies the volume proportions of the
constituents for the desired lamina stiffness and strength.
Analysis of Isotropic Perforated Stiffened Plate Using FEMIJERA Editor
In this paper, studied the structural instability caused by circular and square perforated plate having all round simply supported and clamped plate boundary conditions subjected to inplane uniaxial compression loading and also the strengthening effect of the stiffeners when they are reinforced to the unperforated and perforated plate in longitudinal and transverse directions. The area ratios, aspect ratios and types of stiffeners are the parameters considered. A general purpose finite element analysis software ANSYS is used to carry out the study. Results show that the presence of a central circular and square perforations causes reduction in buckling strength of plate and stiffeners can be used to compensate this reduction before it can be used to its best advantage. It is also observed that the plate strengthening effect of longitudinal stiffener is more than that of transverse stiffener for both unperforated and perforated plate. An economical design is possible by introducing stiffeners of optimum size.

This paper deals with the study of failure loads of glass vinylester composite plates with a circular hole subjected to a traction force by a rigid pin. These are investigated for two variables, the ratio of distance from the free edge of the plate (E) to the diameter of the hole (D) and the ratio of width of the plate (W) to the diameter of the hole (D). The work consists of a numerical study of different specimens using finite element analysis package ANSYS. Also, a mathematical model has been developed to determine the failure loads of different geometry plates. The results obtained from the numerical study and the mathematical models are compared with experimental results from the existing literature and the correlations are observed for both. A comparison of the experimental results with the numerical model shows that the numerical model gives results with correlation co-efficient 0.96. A comparison of the experimental results with the mathematical model shows that the mathematical model gives results with correlation co-efficient 0.99. For estimation of the failure loads within the range of E/D and W/D considered for the study, the mathematical model developed, i.e., Full Cubic Model proves to be more efficient with the observed values of correlation co-efficient, Root Mean Square Error and Maximum Absolute Error.

Study of Round Central Hole in Buckling Analysis of Cross Ply LaminatesAM Publications
Laminated structures find many applications in various engineering fields namely aerospace, bio-medical, civil, marine and mechanical engineering due to easy handling, good mechanical properties and low fabrication cost. Laminated plates with round holes and other openings are extensively used as structural members in aircraft design. These holes are act sometimes as access holes, holes for hardware to pass through, or in the case of fuselage, windows and doors or simply used to reduce the weight of the structure. These laminated structures are often subjected to load in one or more direction in cycles or as intermittent load. Thus there is need to study the failure of these components under bi-axial loading with the view to optimize the shape and lay of the components so as they give maximum service and more life. In this paper bi-axial testing machine is developed to determine bucking load of different materials. Experiments are carried out on cross ply composite under various buckling loads on the bi-axial testing machine. The theoretical results, analytical and experimental results are compared with each other. It is observed that the strength of Bakelite composite plates is higher than glass epoxy laminated composite plate. So Bakelite is more suitable than glass epoxy

In this research, thermal buckling of thin plate made of Functionally Graded Materials (FGM) with linear varying thickness is considered. Material properties are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction according to a simple power law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. The supporting condition of all edges of such a plate is simply supported the equilibrium and stability equations of a FGM plate under thermal loads derived based on higher order plate theories via variation formulation, and are used to determine the pre-buckling forces and the governing deferential equation of the plate the buckling analysis of a functionally graded plate is conducted using; the uniform temperature rise, having temperature gradient through the thickness, and linear temperature variation in the thickness and closed–form solutions are obtained. The buckling load is defined in a weighted residual approach. In a special case the obtained results are compared by the results of functionally graded plates with uniform thickness. The influences of the plate thickness variation and the edge ratio on the critical loads are investigated. Finally, different plots indicating the variation of buckling loads. Different gradient exponent k, different geometries and loading conditions were obtained.
This document investigates the transitional state between square plates and shallow shells using finite element analysis. Several models with gradually increasing rise at the center were analyzed to determine the transitional rise value where plate behavior shifts to shell behavior. Stress and deflection were studied for each case. An empirical relationship was established relating transitional rise to relevant geometrical parameters. The analysis found that transitional rise decreases linearly with increased plate/shell thickness. Introducing a small rise can significantly reduce stresses and deflections while using less material.
EFFECT OF SURFACE ROUGHNESS ON CHARACTERISTICS OF SQUEEZE FILM BETWEEN POROUS...IAEME Publication
In investigation aims to analyse the effect of transverse surface roughness on the squeeze film performance between porous rectangular plates. The associated differential equation is stochastically averaged making use of stochastic averaging method of Christensen and Tonder for transverse surface roughness. The equation is solved with appropriate boundary conditions to obtain the pressure and consequentlythe load bearing. The graphical results suggest that the bearing suffers because of transverse surface roughness. However the situation is slightly better in the case of
negatively skew roughness. Further variance (-ve) makes the situation furtherimproved even if moderate values of porosity are involved

The large current development of aerospace and automotive technologies is based on the use of composite materials which provide significant weight savings compared to their mechanical characteristics. Correct dimensioning of composite structures requires a thorough knowledge of their behavior in small as in large deflection.This work aims to simulate linear and nonlinear behavior of laminates composites under threepoint bending test. The used modelization is based on first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT), classical plate theory (CPT) and Von-Karman’s equations for large deflection. A differential equation of Riccati, describing the variation of the deflection depending on the load, was obtained. Hence, the results deduced show a good correlation with experimental curves

1. The document presents a finite element analysis of buckling in stiffened plates. Stiffened plates are widely used in shipbuilding and offshore structures to increase strength and stability.
2. A finite element model was created in NISA software to analyze buckling in stiffened plates. Both discrete stiffener modeling and rigorous modeling techniques were used.
3. The results found that rigorous modeling, which models both the plate and stiffeners with shell elements, produced buckling loads that were 8-13% lower but were considered more accurate. Discrete stiffener modeling, which uses beam elements for stiffeners, can also provide adequate results with less computational requirements.
Stability of Simply Supported Square Plate with Concentric CutoutIJMER
The finite element method is used to obtain the elastic buckling loads for simply supported isotropic square plate containing circular, square and rectangular cutouts. ANSYS finite element software had been used in the study. The applied inplane loads considered are uniaxial and biaxial compressions. In all the cases the load is distributed uniformly along the plate outer edges. The effects of the size and shape of concentric cutouts with different plate thickness ratios and having all-round simply supported boundary condition on the plate buckling strength have been considered in the analysis. It is found that cutouts have considerable influence on the buckling load factor k and the effect is larger when cutout ratios greater than 0.3 and for thickness ratio greater than 0.15.

The analysis of thin rectangular orthotropic plate with two opposite edges clamped and the other two opposite edges simply supported CSCS , carrying transverse loads was investigated in this study. The Ritz total potential energy functional was used. The minimization of the total potential energy functional produces the expression for the coefficient of deflection. The coefficient of deflection was used to obtain equation for the maximum lateral load of an orthotropic thin rectangular plate based on allowable deflection. Also, equation for the maximum lateral load of an orthotropic thin rectangular plate based on allowable stress was developed.Developed stiffness coefficients were substituted in the lateral load equations to obtain the maximum lateral load values for a CSCS plate. Numerical examples using permissible deflection of 10mm and yield strength of 250MPa, plate thickness varying from 5mm to 12.5 mm with 0.5mm intervals were done to determine the maximum lateral loads corresponding to an orthotropic thin rectangular CSCS plate carrying transverse loads when n1 = Ey Ex = 0.7 and n2 = G Ex = 0.41 for aspect ratios b a of 1.0, 1.25 and 1.50.

These laminated structures are often subjected to load in one or more direction in cycles or as intermittent load. Thus there is need to study the failure of these components under bi-axial loading with the view to optimize the shape and lay of the components so as they give maximum service and more life. In this paper bi-axial testing machine is developed to determine bucking load of different materials. Experiments are carried out on cross ply composite under various buckling loads on the bi-axial testing machine. The theoretical results, analytical and experimental results are compared with each other. It is observed that the strength of Bakelite composite plates is higher than glass epoxy laminated composite plate. So Bakelite is more suitable than glass epoxy

In this research, thermal buckling of thin plate made of Functionally Graded Materials (FGM) with linear varying thickness is considered. Material properties are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction according to a simple power law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. The supporting condition of all edges of such a plate is simply supported the equilibrium and stability equations of a FGM plate under thermal loads derived based on higher order plate theories via variation formulation, and are used to determine the pre-buckling forces and the governing deferential equation of the plate the buckling analysis of a functionally graded plate is conducted using; the uniform temperature rise, having temperature gradient through the thickness, and linear temperature variation in the thickness and closed–form solutions are obtained. The buckling load is defined in a weighted residual approach. In a special case the obtained results are compared by the results of functionally graded plates with uniform thickness. The influences of the plate thickness variation and the edge ratio on the critical loads are investigated. Finally, different plots indicating the variation of buckling loads. Different gradient exponent k, different geometries and loading conditions were obtained.
This document investigates the transitional state between square plates and shallow shells using finite element analysis. Several models with gradually increasing rise at the center were analyzed to determine the transitional rise value where plate behavior shifts to shell behavior. Stress and deflection were studied for each case. An empirical relationship was established relating transitional rise to relevant geometrical parameters. The analysis found that transitional rise decreases linearly with increased plate/shell thickness. Introducing a small rise can significantly reduce stresses and deflections while using less material.

In investigation aims to analyse the effect of transverse surface roughness on the squeeze film performance between porous rectangular plates. The associated differential equation is stochastically averaged making use of stochastic averaging method of Christensen and Tonder for transverse surface roughness. The equation is solved with appropriate boundary conditions to obtain the pressure and consequentlythe load bearing. The graphical results suggest that the bearing suffers because of transverse surface roughness. However the situation is slightly better in the case of
negatively skew roughness. Further variance (-ve) makes the situation furtherimproved even if moderate values of porosity are involved

The large current development of aerospace and automotive technologies is based on the use of composite materials which provide significant weight savings compared to their mechanical characteristics. Correct dimensioning of composite structures requires a thorough knowledge of their behavior in small as in large deflection.This work aims to simulate linear and nonlinear behavior of laminates composites under threepoint bending test. The used modelization is based on first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT), classical plate theory (CPT) and Von-Karman’s equations for large deflection.

1. The document presents a finite element analysis of buckling in stiffened plates. Stiffened plates are widely used in shipbuilding and offshore structures to increase strength and stability.
2. A finite element model was created in NISA software to analyze buckling in stiffened plates. Both discrete stiffener modeling and rigorous modeling techniques were used.
3. The results found that rigorous modeling, which models both the plate and stiffeners with shell elements, produced buckling loads that were 8-13% lower but were considered more accurate. Discrete stiffener modeling, which uses beam elements for stiffeners, can also provide adequate results with less computational requirements.
Stability of Simply Supported Square Plate with Concentric CutoutIJMER
The finite element method is used to obtain the elastic buckling loads for simply supported isotropic square plate containing circular, square and rectangular cutouts. ANSYS finite element software had been used in the study. The applied inplane loads considered are uniaxial and biaxial compressions. In all the cases the load is distributed uniformly along the plate outer edges. The effects of the size and shape of concentric cutouts with different plate thickness ratios and having all-round simply supported boundary condition on the plate buckling strength have been considered in the analysis. It is found that cutouts have considerable influence on the buckling load factor k and the effect is larger when cutout ratios greater than 0.3 and for thickness ratio greater than 0.15.
Limit States Solution to CSCS Orthotropic Thin Rectangular Plate Carrying Tra...ijtsrd
The analysis of thin rectangular orthotropic plate with two opposite edges clamped and the other two opposite edges simply supported CSCS , carrying transverse loads was investigated in this study. The Ritz total potential energy functional was used. The minimization of the total potential energy functional produces the expression for the coefficient of deflection. The coefficient of deflection was used to obtain equation for the maximum lateral load of an orthotropic thin rectangular plate based on allowable deflection. Also, equation for the maximum lateral load of an orthotropic thin rectangular plate based on allowable stress was developed.Developed stiffness coefficients were substituted in the lateral load equations to obtain the maximum lateral load values for a CSCS plate. Numerical examples using permissible deflection of 10mm and yield strength of 250MPa, plate thickness varying from 5mm to 12.5 mm with 0.5mm intervals were done to determine the maximum lateral loads corresponding to an orthotropic thin rectangular CSCS plate carrying transverse loads when n1 = Ey Ex = 0.7 and n2 = G Ex = 0.41 for aspect ratios b a of 1.0, 1.25 and 1.50.

This document analyzes the vibration of a square plate with a circular cutout using finite element analysis. It studies how the natural frequency of the plate is affected by the diameter of the circular hole. The plate is modeled in ANSYS using solid elements with simply supported and clamped-free boundary conditions. Results show the natural frequency decreases with increasing hole diameter, with a more significant effect at higher modes. Mode shapes are also generated. Parametric studies are performed to analyze the relationship between hole diameter and natural frequency. The results are verified with data from previous studies.
Analysis of stiffened plate using FE ApproachIJMER
The objective of the present investigation is to study the strengthening effect of the stiffeners
on the buckling of unperforated and perforated plate when they are reinforced in longitudinal and
transverse directions. The plate is subjected to inplane uniform uniaxial end compression load having
simply supported plate boundary condition. The parameters considered are plate aspect ratio, area ratio and types of stiffeners. The analysis has been carried out using ANSYS finite element software. The buckling analysis shows that the influence of transverse stiffener is less when compared to longitudinal stiffener
First order orthotropic shear deformation equations for the linear elastic bending response of rectangular
plates are introduced. Their solution using a computer program in FORTRAN language based on finite differences
implementation of the Dynamic Relaxation (DR) method is outlined. The convergence and accuracy of the DR
solutions for elastic linear response of isotropic, orthotropic, and laminated plates are established by comparison with
various exact and approximate solutions. The present Dynamic Relaxation method (DR) coupled with Finite
Differences method (FD) shows a fairly good agreement with other analytical and numerical methods used in the
present study. It was found that the DR linear theory program using uniform meshes can be employed in the analysis
of different thicknesses and length to side ratios for isotropic, orthotropic and laminated fibrous plates under uniform
loads in a fairly good accuracy. These comparisons show that the type of mesh used (i.e. uniform or graded) is
responsible for the considerable variations in the mid – side and corner stress resultants. It is found that the
convergence of the DR solution depends on several factors including boundary conditions, meshes size, fictitious
densities and applied load. It is also found that the DR linear theory can be employed with less accuracy in the
analysis of moderately thick and flat isotropic, orthotropic or laminated plates under uniform loads. It is also found
that the deflection of the plate becomes of an acceptable value when the length to thickness ratio decreases. For
simply supported (SS1) edge conditions, all the comparison results confirmed that deflection depends on the direction
of the applied load and the arrangement of the layers.
NONLINEAR FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS FOR REINFORCED CONCRETE SLABS UNDER PUNCHIN...IAEME Publication
This paper presents an implementation of a three-dimensional nonlinear finite element model for evaluating the behavior of reinforced concrete slabs under centric load. The concrete was idealized by using eight-nodded solid elements. While flexural reinforcement and the shear were modeled as line elements, a perfected bond between solid elements and line elements was assumed. The nonlinear behavior of concrete in compression is simulated by an elasto-plastic work-hardening model, and in tension a suitable post-cracking model based on tension stiffening and shear retention models are employed. The steel was simulated using an elastic-full plastic model. The validity of the theoretical formulations and the program used was verified through comparison with available experimental data, and the agreement has proven to be good. A parametric study has been also carried out to investigate the influence of the slab thickness on column-slab connection response
This document reviews different methods for analyzing thick orthotropic plates, including their strengths and weaknesses. It discusses classical plate theory, Mindlin plate theory, the method of initial functions, state space method, and exact 3D solutions. The document focuses on elastic solutions that account for plate thickness and consider effects like shear deformation that are neglected in classical plate theory. It analyzes Ambartsumyan's and Kirchhoff-Love theories in particular and how later methods tried to improve on their limitations regarding thickness effects.
First order shear deformation (FSDT) theory for laminated composite beams is used to study free vibration of
laminated composite beams, and finite element method (FEM) is employed to obtain numerical solution of the
governing differential equations. Free vibration analysis of laminated beams with rectangular cross – section for
various combinations of end conditions is studied. To verify the accuracy of the present method, the frequency
parameters are evaluated and compared with previous work available in the literature. The good agreement with
other available data demonstrates the capability and reliability of the finite element method and the adopted beam
model used.
This document summarizes a study that used the Dynamic Relaxation (DR) method to analyze the behavior of isotropic, orthotropic, and laminated plates under small deflections. The DR method was applied using the Mindlin plate theory and shear deformation effects. Results from the DR method were verified by comparing with other exact and approximate analytical and numerical solutions. It was found that the accuracy of the DR solution depends on factors like boundary conditions, mesh properties, damping coefficients, and time increments used. The DR method showed good agreement with other methods and can be used to accurately analyze plates of different thicknesses and materials under uniform loads.
Dynamic Relaxation (DR) method is presented for the geometrically nonlinear laterally loaded,
rectangular laminated plates. The analysis uses the Mindlin plate theory which accounts for transverse
shear deformation. A computer program has been compiled. The convergence and accuracy of the DR
solutions for elastic large deflection response are established by comparison with various exact and
approximate solutions. New numerical results are generated for uniformly loaded square laminated
plates which serve to quantify the effects of shear deformation, length to thickness ratio, number of
layers, material anisotropy and fiber orientation.
It was found that linear analysis seriously over predicts deflection of plates. The shear
deflection depends greatly on a number of factors such as length to thickness ratio, degree of
anisotropy and number of layers. As the degree of anisotropy increases, the plate becomes stiffer and
when it is greater than a critical value, the deflection becomes virtually independent on the degree of
anisotropy. It was also found that deflection of plates depends on the angle of orientation of individual
plies and the size of load applied.
Investigation into the effects of delamination parameters of the layered compoIAEME Publication
The document investigates the effects of delamination parameters on layered composite plates subjected to close proximity blast loads. A finite element analysis is conducted to model various delamination scenarios, including position within the plate thickness, delamination area ratio, and explosive charge weight. The analysis finds that the presence of delamination within composite plates decreases their protective capacity against explosive charges. Graphical results are presented showing the effects of different delamination positions, charge masses, and delamination area ratios on the plate response.
TRANSIENT ANALYSIS OF PIEZOLAMINATED COMPOSITE PLATES USING HSDTP singh
Piezoelectric materials have excellent sensing and actuating capabilities have made them the most practical smart materials to integrate with laminated structures. Integrated structure system can be called a smart structure because of its ability to perform self-diagnosis and quick adaption to environment changes. An analytical procedure has been developed in the work based on higher order shear deformation theory subjected to electromechanical loading for investigating transient characteristics of smart material plates. For analysis two displacement models are to be considered i.e., model-1 accounts for strain in thickness direction is zero whereas in model-2 in-plane displacements are expanded as cubic functions of the thickness coordinate. Navier’s technique has been adopted for obtaining solutions of anti-symmetric cross–ply and angle-ply laminates of both model-1 and model-2 with simply supported boundary conditions. For obtaining transient response of a laminated composite plate attached with piezoelectric layer Newmark’s method has been used. Effect of thickness coordinate of composite laminated plates attached with piezoelectric layer subjected to electromechanical loadings is studied.

Probabilistic Design of Hollow Circular Composite Structure by using Finite E...IJERA Editor
This document summarizes a study that uses finite element analysis to analyze the bending stress of a hollow circular composite beam under static loading conditions while accounting for uncertainty in design variables. A probabilistic design system is used to simulate the effects of varying the beam's length, radius, material properties, ply angles, thickness, and applied load on the bending stress. The results identify that variation in load, radius, modulus, ply thickness, and angles have the most significant effect on bending stress. The analysis finds the bending stress can range from 104 to 392 MPa with a 90% probability of being below 250 MPa. Improving the robustness of the design may require addressing variables with the highest sensitivity on bending stress.

The affine theorem is used to transform orthotropic slab properties into equivalent isotropic properties to simplify the analysis.
Kantorovich-Vlasov Method for Simply Supported Rectangular Plates under Unifo...IJCMESJOURNAL
In this study, the Kantorovich-Vlasov method has been applied to the flexural analysis of simply supported Kirchhoff plates under transverse uniformly distributed load on the entire plate domain. Vlasov method was used to construct the coordinate functions in the x direction and the Kantorovich method was used to consider the assumed displacement field over the plate. The total potential energy functional and the corresponding Euler-Lagrange equations were obtained. This was solved subject to the boundary conditions to obtain the displacement field over the plate. Bending moments were then obtained using the moment curvature equations. The solutions obtained were rapidly convergent series for deflection, and bending moments. Maximum deflection and maximum bending moments occurred at the center and were also obtained as rapidly convergent series. The series were computed for varying plate aspect ratios. The results were identical with Levy-Nadai solutions for the same problem.
Dynamic Behavior of Fiber Reinforced Composite Beam With CrackIJMERJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: Composites have numerous applications in engineering field. In engineering design averting failure of composite material system has been a vital concern. Composite are subjected to numerous types of damage, mostly cracks and delamination. The presence of crack causes a variation in stiffness and it also affects the mechanical behavior of entire structure. Cracks are caused by fatigue under service conditions as a consequence of limited fatigue strength. Measurement of natural frequency can be taken as a tool to identify the presence of cracks which are propagated due to fluctuating stress conditions. In the present work an attempt has been made to find the natural frequencies of fiber reinforced composite cantilever beams with and without presence of a transverse surface crack. E-Glass fiber reinforced composite beams with epoxy resin having a volume fraction of 16.6% have been casted by hand lay-up method and are used for determination of natural frequencies of beams. The free vibration study is carried out by ATALON FFT analyzer, accelerometer and excitation by impact hammer. The DEWESOFT software is used to convert the responses from time domain to frequency domain and the Frequency Response Functions (FRF) are obtained. The experimental results are compared with numerical predictions using the FEM based software package ANSYS 16.2. The process of finding of natural frequencies is carried out for various crack depth ratios at various crack locations by both numerical and experimental methods. A good accord is observed between the experimental and ANSYS results.
Failure analysis of pin loaded glass epoxy polystyrene composite platesiaemedu
The document summarizes research on the failure analysis of pin-loaded glass epoxy/polystyrene composite plates. Experiments were conducted to investigate the failure load and mode with varying dimensions. The strength was found to increase with K/D (edge distance to diameter ratio) and W/D (width to diameter ratio) up to a point, then remain constant. W/D had a greater effect on failure mode. Graphs showed bearing strength initially rising with K/D and W/D, then leveling off. Failure mode transitioned from normal to shear with increasing W/D. The research aimed to understand failure behavior under different geometric conditions.

Abstract—The present work envisages the first ply failure
analysis of laminated composite skew plate using ANSYS
19.1 R. The finite element model is developed using 4-noded
3D shell-181 element with six degrees of freedom per node
(three translations and three rotations). Numerical
experiments are conducted considering skew plate of varying
skew angles, laminations, stacking patterns and boundary
conditions with central concentrated load. First ply failure
loads are evaluated considering three different failure criteria
such as maximum stress, maximum strain and those proposed
by Tsai-Wu. The minimum value of load obtained from three
criteria is chosen as governing first ply failure load value.
Benchmark problems are solved to validate the correctness of
the present approach of evaluation of first ply failure load
incorporation of skew geometry in the present numerical
model. The results are finally post processed to arrive some
meaningful engineering conclusions.

I. INTRODUCTION
Composite skew plates are having various applications in
high performance modern engineering structures, ships,
highway bridges, skew grid of beams and girders, thin plate
structures etc. The analysis of skew plate gained attention by
researchers in the late 1940s. In general, analysis of skew
plate is more complex than rectangular ones. The exact
solution for structural response of skew plate is limited to
some specific cases therefore solution of partial differential
equation can be obtained using analytical or numerical
method. Numerical methods such as finite element method,
finite differential quadrature method etc. are employed for
the analysis of skew plate.
The first ply failure load of laminated composite skew

factors such as perpendicular distance, angle of twist, mid
surface delamination and non-dimensional velocity on first
ply failure strength of conical shaped shallow shell. Authors
obtained numerical results using finite element method with
the implementation of various failure criteria such as
maximum stress, Tsai-Hill, Tsai-Wu and Hoffman. First ply
failure of a laminated composite skewed thin hypar shell roof
using nonlinear finite element approach was studied and
reported by Ghosh and Chakravorty [2]. The results suggest
that Pucks criteria can be universally adopted to get the first
ply failure load. Also angle ply shell performs better than
cross ply shell in terms of first ply failure.
Kumar et al. [3] reported the uniformly distributed first ply
failure load laminated composite skew plate with a finite
element model developed based on higher order shear
deformation theory [HSDT]. Authors presented the first ply
failure load of the cross ply and angle ply composite skew
plate under uniformly distributed load for different boundary
conditions. The results states that as the skew angle increases,
failure load value increases for both CCCC and SSSS
boundary conditions and also for a given skew angle failure
load increases as the boundary condition changes from
simply supported to clamped.
Joshi [4] presented the failure analysis of laminated
composite plate, of graphite/epoxy, using higher order shear
deformation theory. Various failure theories such as
maximum stress, maximum strain, Tsai-Wu etc. are used
with both symmetric and antisymmetric lamination scheme
under simply supported condition. The results suggest that
failure load increases with increase in fiber orientation angle.
Multi scale modelling and failure analysis of composites
using finite element software ANSYS was presented by
Uniyal et al. [5]. Authors used various failure theories such as
maximum stress, maximum strains, Tsai-Wu and first ply
failure load values were obtained for different lamination
schemes under uniaxial and biaxial loading conditions.
Bakshi et al. [6] investigated the first ply failure load of
moderately thin composite conoidal shell under normal
uniformly distributed load using various failure theories. The
results suggest that cross ply and angle ply laminates always
tend to fail in in-plane shear of the bottommost fiber and
transverse tensile strain respectively. Authors also concluded
that cross ply stacking sequence exhibits better performance
than angle ply stacking in terms of first ply failure load for
conoidal shell. Adali and Cagdas [7] studied and reported the
effect of fiber orientation on failure strength of a laminated

defined failure load as minimum of first ply failure and

total laminate fails and marked that ulimate failure load was
far above than the load at which failure initiates. However,
for the design dependability an engineer should be well
known about first ply failure because if commencement of
damage remains undiscovered then it may lead to severe
damage and sudden collapse of structure. The progressive
failure analysis of laminated stiffened and unstiffened
composite plate, subjected to transverse static loading, using
finite element method was studied by Prusty [10]. The results
suggest that in almost all cases failure of laminated composite
plate or shell happened before the stiffener laminate and
location of failure was at the centre of the plate or shell. It was
found that Tsai- Wu theory was considered for progressive
failure analysis and for first ply failure analysis most
prominent failure theories such as maximum stress,
maximum strain, Hoffman etc. were used.
Naresh and Muthu [11] studied the load deflection
behavior of simply supported skew plate under the action of
uniformly distributed transverse load. Suman et al. [12]
presented the bending of skew plate and obtained the
governing differential equation using first order shear
deformation theory (FSDT) and Hamilton theory. Ikharrane
et al. [13] developed a numerical tool that could be useful in
obtaining approximate solution of bending problem of
composite skew plate subjected to various loadings under
different support conditions. Manjunath et al. [14] presented
the linear static failure analysis of rhombus type skew plate
under uniformly distributed load.
It is clear from the review the areas of first ply failure and
skew plate analysis have received attention individually but
failure study of composite skew plate was reported only by
Kumar and Chakrabarty [3]. The present research studies and
reports the first ply failure analysis of laminated composite
skew plate roof under concentrated load with varying
parameters and boundary conditions using ANSYS
mechanical APDL.
II. MATHEMATICAL FORMULATION
Consider a laminated composite skew plate having skew
angle of as shown in Figure 1 having uniform thickness of
h and all four sides are equal in length. It consists of a
number of thin lamina bonded together to form laminate,
fibers of which are oriented at certain angle with global
x -axis of the plate. The axes system is taken at mid surface
(i.e. reference plane) of the laminated plate system. The
present study considers a four-noded isoparametric shell
element with three translations ( )wvu ,, along YX, and Z
directions and three rotations ( )zyx ,, about YX, and Z
directions respectively at each node .
Displacement field
First order shear deformation theory is used in the present
study. The displacement field of a laminated composite plate

III. NUMERICAL PROBLEMS
A convergence study is carried out to optimize the number of
finite elements required to represent the plate surface and the
results are reported in Table 1. The convergence is
considered as achieved when the first ply failure loads are
within 10% to 15% of that found in the selected literature. A
12×12 mesh is found to be the optimum one in the present
case to solve first ply failure problems of laminated
composite plate as evident from Table 1.

correct modeling of skew plate geometry the natural

approach and compared with those reported by Singha and

IV. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
The results of the benchmark problems obtained by present
method show good agreement with those obtained by Kam et
al. (1996) establishing the correctness of the present approach
in determination of first ply failure load (Refer Table 2). The
correctness of the skew geometry formulation is established
from comparison of results presented in Table 3. The other
problems, which are solved to explore the different aspects of
first ply failure behaviour of laminated composite skew plate,
are also checked for convergence and only converged results
are reported. Table 6 and 7 and Figure 4 and 5 furnishes the

clamped (CCCC) boundary conditions for different
laminations and skew plate options.
Concentrated first ply failure load of different skew plate
options for various boundary conditions and laminations
Once the correctness of the proposed software simulation is
established, it is further used to compute first ply failure loads
of laminated composite skew plate of several combination. A
different combination of ASAP, ASCP, SYAP and SYCP
plate with different skew angles ranging from 0˚ to 60˚ are
investigated. The plates are considered to be loaded by
central concentrated load. The first ply failure loads of the
skew plate options are furnished in Tables 6 and Table 7 for
symmetric and antisymmetric cross and angle-ply
laminations respectively.

Effect of skew angles on concentrated first ply failure load
for various edge conditions
From the results of Table 6 and Table 7 and Fig. 4 to Fig. 5 it
is evident that, as expected, the skew angle significantly
affects the first ply failure load. It is interesting to note that as
the skew angle increases from 0˚ to 60˚ the first ply failure
load are found to be increasing for ASCP, ASAP and SYAP
but a reverse trend is observed in case of SYCP lamination.
So if design is done considering rectangular ASCP, ASAP
and SYAP laminated plate it will be safe even if the plate
becomes skew to any angle which does not holds good if the
plate is of SYCP lamination.
Effect of boundary condition on concentrated first ply
failure load
In general, for any given lamination and skew angle the
clamped boundary condition turns out to be the stiffest one
and yields the highest value of the first ply failure load
(FPFL). This trend no doubt indicates the fact that to achieve
high values of failure loads the boundaries should be clamped
if possible. This conclusion is true for the class of plates that

are considered here but no doubt there is a need of detailed
investigation to identify the best edge condition when skew
plates of other parametric variations are to be considered.
V. CONCLUSION
The following conclusions are drawn from the present study.
1. The present software simulation used here is suitable for
first ply failure load analysis of laminated composite
skew plate and yields excellent results of the benchmark
problems.
2. As the skew angle increases from 0˚ to 60˚ for both the first
ply failure load are found to be increasing for ASCP,
ASAP and SYAP but a reverse trend is observed in case
of SYCP lamination. So if design is done considering
rectangular ASCP, ASAP and SYAP laminated plate it
will be safe even if the plate becomes skew to any angle
which does not holds good if the plate is of SYCP
lamination.
3. Clamped (CCCC) plates shows highest first ply failure
load (FPFL).
4. Authors observed that the cross ply plates are showing
better response to angle ply ones. Likewise, among
symmetric and antisymmetric laminates, the former are
found to be far better than the later. Among all the skew
angles, 60˚ shows the best performance with CCCC as
the best support condition.
