The effects of hygrothermal effects are included. Strength of laminated composites is not covered. All calculated engineering constants are displayed in the eng.

Cuts up to 12 mm laminate flooring 10 mm engineered wood flooring 8 mm spc wpc or vct and 5 mm lvt and lvp. 6 16 we know that in terms of compliances the stress strain relations are 6 17 comparing eqs. 6 16 and 6 17 we can express the compliances in terms of engineering constants. Predictive engineering document feel free to share with your colleagues page 7 of 66 laminate.

When i create an effective laminate for a quasi iso tropic layup 45 0 45 90 for tape i dont get the same values for the engineering constants e1 and e2 ie e1 does not equal e2. The prediction of the engineering constants for a laminate are derived. A laminate is constructed by stacking a number of laminae. 0 1 2 1types of materials in engineering applications materials can be broadly classified as anisotropic orthotropic and isotropic.

The engineering constants are very useful when designing a composite laminate for estimating the stiffness behaviour of the element. The engineering constants are taken from the individual elements of the laminate compliance matrix. The constitutive equations in all of their forms are developed and then summarized in a separate section. Elliptical rotating motion gives smooth constant cutting pressure for clean cuts.

For in plane constants also values for zero curvature laminate in case of suppressed laminate curvature. These constants are the effective extensional modulus in the x direction e x the effective extensional modulus in the y direction e y the effective poisson s ratios v xy and v yx and the effective shear modulus in the x y plane g xy. In this chapter we introduce the concept of effective elastic constants for the laminate. The stress strain relations for a three dimensional orthotropic material in terms of engineering constants can be written as follows.

The building block for a laminate is lamina. A case study is presented in order to apply the lamination. Department of materials science and engineering massachusetts institute of technology cambridge ma 02139 february 10 2000. Long handle provides extra leverage for more cutting power with less effort.
