Abstract

The numerical-experimental results of the investigation of influence of laminate stacking sequence on edge effects that occurs on structure free edges are presented. Three-dimensional models of composites have been used for calculations. It was shown and experimentally confirmed that laminate stacking sequence significantly effects on normal stress rate and distribution on laminate free edges.
