Mechanics of a Lamina

Book Geoff Eckold, Chapter 3, pp 49-65

Ma ter ia ls Sci ence & Technolog y

A Laminate is consisting of several Laminas or Plies or Layers.

A Lamina is consisting of Fibers and Matrix.

Micromechanics (in m-mm range) is dealing for example with the determination of Lamina constitutive properties from those of Fiber and Matrix, Fiber-Matrix interface stresses, etc.


Assumptions:

- Linear Elasticity: Matrix and Fiber behave as linear elastic material (viscoelasticity of Matrix: see previous chapter)

- Perfect bond, no strain discontinuity across interface

- Fibers are arranged in a regular or repeating array


Functional requirements for Fibers:

- High E-Modulus

- High ultimate strength

- Low variation between individual fibers

- Retain the strength during handling and fabrication

- Uniform diameter and surface


Functional requirements for Matrix:

- Bind together the fibers and protect their surfaces

- Transfer stresses to the fibers efficiently

- Chemically compatible with fibers over a long period

- Thermally compatible with fibers

Independent Elasticity Constants

With the existing symmetry, the number of independent elasticity constants of a UD-Lamina is reduced from 5 to 4.


Definitions:

- Orthotropy: Anisotropy with 3 orthogonal planes of symmetry. 9 independent constants

- Transverse Isotropy: Orthotropy with a plane at which there is Isotropy 5 independent constants

- Transverse Isotropy and Plane Stress: 4 independent constants

Independent Elasticity Constants

If there are more symmetry conditions, there will be further reductions in the number of constants. For a cross-ply laminate with E1=E2, there are 3and for an isotropic material (for example mat-laminate with randomly distributed fibers) 2independent constants.


Mechanics of materialsSemi empirical equations


Elasticity constants of a UD-Lamina are dependent on the following parameters:

EF = Fiber E-Modulus

F = Fiber Poisson‘s Ratio

EM = Matrix E-Modulus

M = Matrix Poisson‘s Ratio

= Fiber Volume Fraction





The longitudinal E-Modulus (parallel to the fiber direction) can be derived from the following so called rule of mixture:

where F = fiber volume content of the UD-Lamina

MFFF EEE 11


The major poisson‘s ratio 12 caused by longitudinal stresses following the rule of mixture is:

MFFF 112

And the minor poisson‘s ratio is:
