Abstract
This paper aims to investigate the effect of lamination scheme and angle variations to the displacements and failure behaviour of composite laminate. Finite element modelling and analysis of symmetric, anti-symmetric and angle-ply Graphite/ Epoxy laminate with various angles of fiber orientation subjected to uniaxial tension are performed. Maximum Stress Theory and Tsai-Wu Failure Criteria are employed to determine the failure load (failure index = 1). Prior to that, convergence analysis and numerical validation are carried out. Displacements and failure behaviour of the composite laminates (symmetric, anti-symmetric and angle ply) are analysed. The failure curves (FPF and LPF) for both theories (Maximum Stress Theory and Tsai-Wu) are plotted and found to be very close to each other. Therefore, it can be concluded that the current study is useful and significant to the displacements and failure behaviour of composite laminate.
