VERIFICATION OF LAMINATE COMPOSITEPLATE SIMULATION UNDER COMBINED LOADINGS THERMALSTRESSES
...Show More Authors

 This study deals with thermal cyclic loading phenomena of plates which were fabricated from

 

composite materials (woven roving fiber glass + polyester) were exposed to (75 C°) temperature

 

gradient thermal shock for ten times in different stage of conditioning times due to the effect of thermal

 

fatigue using the method of Levy solution and compared these results with both results from

 

experimental published work and (ANSYS Ver. 9) program. A composite laminate plate with fiber

 

volume fraction (υf =25.076%) is selected in this study and applying the combined loadings like

 

bending moment (Mo), and in-plane force (Nxx) beside the effect of thermal fatigue. It involves multi

 

theoretical and finite element fields; but the theoretical one contains the derived equation of stresses

 

distribution and evaluating the normal deflection of a middle point for dynamic analysis applying

 

different boundary conditions for heating and cooling. The main present numerical results for a

 

composite plate with (80%) fiber volume fraction claim that the relative reduction in normal deflection

 

and dynamic load factor are (78.593%) and (9.421%) during cooling to (-15 respectively.
