Thermal Stress Analysis of Homogeneous Orthotropic Plate with New Thermal Profiles Using First Order Shear Deformation Theory

Laminated composite plates are extensively used in Civil, Mechanical and Aerospace industries. A composite material is formed by combining two or more materials, so that the properties of the composites are different from those of the individual constituent's materials. Laminated composites formed by fibres are bound together using binding material called '˜matrix'. The reinforcing fibers used in fibrous composites are having high modulus and ultimate strength. The matrix which is used to bind the fibers together should be able to transfer the loads to the fibers, as well as be able to protect the fibers from damage. Analytical models in single layered laminated orthotropic plate gives shear deformation and transverse normal thermal strains is validated for the thermal stress analysis subjected to gradient thermal profile across the thickness of laminate. First Order Shear Deformation Theory (FOST) is used for calculating various quantities and give good agreement with gradient thermal profile for thin plates. Based on these new results are prepared for additional three thermal profiles contains linear as well as parabolic path across thickness of plate with different boundary conditions. Mr. A. K.
