Module 5: Laminate Theory
  Lecture 17: Laminate Constitutive Relations
 


Example 5.6: Find the partially and fully inverted form of laminate constitutive equation for laminate in Example 5.5.

Solution:
First we find   as

 is calculated as


 is given as

 is calculated as

Thus,

 

Now, the partially inverted constitutive equation for laminate can be written as

Now we will obtain the fully inverted laminate constitutive equation.

 

 

Thus, the fully inverted laminate constitutive equation can be written as
