Failure Analysis of Composite Laminates Under Biaxial Tensile Load Due To Variations in Lamination Scheme / Mohamad Mali ... [et al.]

Due to its variability in mechanical properties and complex anisotropy behaviour, the work related to the design and analysis of composite laminates or composite structures is complicated yet crucial. At present, the analytical and finite element simulation techniques are the more preferred methods...
