Assertion (A): Ply drop-offs are staggered rather than terminated together.

Reason (R): Terminating several plies at one station concentrates the interlaminar stress there.

Select the correct answer from the options below.

  • A.A is true but R is false
  • B.A is false but R is true
  • C.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • D.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A

Answer: C

Correct answer: Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

Both are true and the reason is the design rule. Where a ply terminates, the load it carried must be shed into its neighbours through interlaminar shear, and ending several plies at the same station concentrates that shear and creates a resin pocket. Staggering the drop-offs spreads the transfer over a length and keeps the interlaminar stress within what the matrix can carry.
