Abstract
The definitive list of stacking sequences is presented for Bending-Twisting coupled (ASB0DF) laminates, with up to 21 plies. This class of laminate arises from the ubiquitous balanced and symmetric design rule, but symmetry is shown to be a sufficient rather than a necessary constraint. Each stacking sequence configuration is derived in symbolic form together with dimensionless parameters from which the extensional and bending stiffness terms are readily calculated for any fibre/matrix system and angle-ply orientation. Expressions for ply orientation dependent lamination parameters are also given, together with graphical representations, which demonstrate the extent of the design space. Pseudo Quasi-Homogeneous (ASB0DF) laminates are introduced as an important laminate sub-set, since such laminates have concomitant orthotropic properties, i.e. matching orthotropic or isotropic stiffnesses in extension and bending, from which the isolated effects of Bending-Twisting coupling can be studied. These coupling effects are quantified for compression buckling of Angle-ply and Quasi-Isotropic laminated plates with simply supported and clamped edges.
