A laminate has \( 8 \) plies at zero and \( 8 \) at ninety degrees, stacked as four zeros, eight nineties, four zeros. This laminate is

  • A.Balanced but not symmetric
  • B.Neither symmetric nor balanced
  • C.Symmetric and balanced
  • D.Symmetric but not balanced

Answer: C

Correct answer: Symmetric and balanced

Reading from one face: four zeros, eight nineties, four zeros. The sequence is its own mirror image about the midplane, so it is symmetric and the B matrix vanishes. It is also balanced, since every off-axis ply is matched by one at the opposite angle - and 0 and 90 degree plies are their own opposites, so a cross-ply laminate is balanced automatically.
