Abstract
A problem on edge effects in a laminated composite with a periodic system of symmetric contact cracks is studied. Loading of the composite induces constant deformation in the reinforcement direction beyond the edge effect. The problem is solved in an exact formulation under the linear theory of elasticity for piecewise-homogeneous media. An approximate solution is found by the mesh approach using the concept of a base scheme. For stresses σ ij , the shape and size of the edge effect zone are studied depending on the ratio of Young's moduli of the composite components, which varies over a wide range
