Abstract
Analysis of laminated composite members is always a critical phenomenon. To address this issue, the authors developed the six nodes two dimensional refined mixed finite element model (r-MFEM) for accurate analysis of laminated composite beam. This model has transverse stress σZ and τxz as primary variables along with displacement u and w. Equilibrium equations are used to refine the variation of primary variables in the formulation. In the present paper, various laminated composite beams have been analysed by the six nodes two-dimensional r-MFEM element to show the model’s versatility. The results obtained has been compared with the other author’s work.
