The global area is modeled by first order shear deformation theory and the local area, in the free cornerr vicinity, is modeledd by the Reddy's layer-wise theory. Using this method provides the possibility of analysis of thick angle-ply and cross-pland extension loading, respectively and the effects of the free edgee and free cornerr interlaminar stressess are investigated. Verification of the presented results is performed via available results in the previous studies whichh show good agreement. The present study resultss show that when the cross-ply laminate is subjected to thermal loading, the interlaminar stresses distribution is uniform in both length and width of the laminate. However, for the uni-axial extension loading, the interlaminarr stresses possess different distribution in the two directions of the laminate. Also, results demonstratee thatt in angle-ply laminates under extension loading, the free corner effect increases by increasing fiber angle and the maximum interlaminar stresses occur in 3 degree plies in the freee corner vicinity. Moreover, results prove that the effects of the free edge and the free corner are almost similar in layers with fiber angle lesss than 3 degrees. Parametric study on the thickness and stacking of the laminate layers illustrates that both parameters have a significant influence on the interlamianar stresses at the freee laminates. The cross-ply and angle-ply laminates are subjected to uniform thermal corner.. - Pleasecitethisarticleusing: : H.MohammadiRoknabadi,M.J.MahmoodiNumericalanalysisoffreecornereffectsinangle-plycompositelaminatesbasedonglobal-localmethodModaresMechanical EngineeringVol.6No.8,pp.7-76(iPersian)
