Abstract
In this Section the classical lamination theory is described on the basis of Mindlin—Reissner’s kinematics. Hygrothermal effects are included, and a formulation is achieved which can simply specified for specific laminates such as symmetric, quasiorthotropic and quasi-isotropic ones. Furthermore, interlaminar stresses and edge effects as well as some failure criteria and the post-failure behavior with stiffness degradation are considered. Based on antiplane core conditions a sandwich theory is developed, and a procedure is presented for estimating local instability phenomena such as different modes of face layer wrinkling or intracell buckling and failure due to transverse normal stresses.
