SSLS121 - Plate laminated subjected
with elementary loadings




Summary:

This test represents the quasi-static calculation of a laminated plate, composed of 3 layers of material
orthotropic, subjected to 4 elementary loadings.

The plate is modelized in finite elements DST (meshs QUAD4), it is located in a plan XZ and is inclined
48,5 degrees compared to X (to check the changes of reference mark).

In this test, the plane stresses and stresses shear transverse, are compared with one
analytical reference solution.

Summary of the results
The very good agreement of the results with the analytical solution validates the calculation of the stresses
for a composite plate in an unspecified reference mark, at various levels thickness.
