Problem 1: Part 13

edit

Compute the stress rate at the blue point. This stress rate is expressed in terms of the laminar coordinate system.

The rate constitutive relation of the material is given by

 

The map between the notations for a composite beam are shown in Figure 14.

Since the problem is a 2-D one, based on the figure, the reduced constitutive equation is

 

The laminar  -direction maps to the composite  -direction and the laminar  -directions maps to the composite  -direction. Hence the constitutive equation can be written as

 

Rearranging,

 

Plugging in the values, we get

 

The Maple script for this calculation is shown below.
