Abstract
The difficulties and complications that ensue from matrix damage in fiber composites are examined. A simplified lamination theory is developed to deal with some of these complications. It is applicable to the high stiffness and high strength case of carbon fiber dominated polymeric composites. The resulting lamination forms are rigorous for the fiber dominated condition. Finally, this new lamination theory is used to show that states of anisotropy greater than about 4:1 are likely have a greater sensitivity to the complications of matrix damage than do the lessor anisotropy ratios.
