Consider the following statements about classical laminate theory:

1. It assembles ply stiffnesses transformed to the laminate axes.

2. It produces the A, B and D matrices.

3. It predicts interlaminar stresses at a free edge.

Which of the statements given above is or are correct?

  • A.1 and 3 only
  • B.2 and 3 only
  • C.1, 2 and 3
  • D.1 and 2 only

Answer: D

Correct answer: 1 and 2 only

Statements 1 and 2 describe what the theory does: transform each ply stiffness to the laminate axes and assemble them into A, B and D. Statement 3 is beyond it, for the reason the assertion question makes explicit - the plane stress assumption sets the interlaminar components to zero, so free-edge stresses need a three-dimensional model.
