Abstract
In this article, a dimensionless mathematical model for studying the physical parameters of a quasi-isotropic composite laminate is presented. The influence of the various lamina material properties E1, E2, E3, G12, 12, 31, 32 as well as the lamina hygrothermal expansion coefficients 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, and 3 on the physical parameters of the laminate such as the through-the-thickness Poisson’s ratio z, the dilatation D"z of the laminate, the coefficients of hygrothermal expansion of the laminate, and, and the through-thickness coefficients of hygrothermal expansion of the laminate z, and z are studied. The results from this dimensionless mathematical model provide a set of general guidelines for designing the physical parameters of the composite laminates to fit various working and environmental conditions in engineering application.
