Abstract
The behaviour of cross-ply laminated bimodular strips in the elastic large deflection regime is studied. Deflections, etc. have been computed for uniformly loaded strips with opposite edges either simply supported or clamped, using the Dynamic Relaxation (DR) method. The bimodular strip results are compared with corresponding results for strips made of conventional composite material, i.e. composite material with elastic constants identical with the bimodular tension values. It is shown that for strips made of highly bimodular composite material the conventional composite strip results provide a good approximation (except at very low pressures) to the bimodular strip results when the strip edges are simply supported; however, when they are clamped the agreement between the conventional and bimodular values is usually poor.
