Determine the strength ratio r at the bottom surface of the


Consider a laminate [±45] of the following material:
E1=  137.8 GPa
E2 = 10 GPa
G12 = 5.236 GPa
v12 = 0.3
F1t = 826.8 MPa
F1c = 482.3 MPa
F2t = F2c =  68.9 MPa
F6 = 241.15 MPa

and thickness tk = 0.127 mm, subject to Nx = N= = 1.0 N/mm. Determine the strength ratio R at the bottom surface of the laminate, using the following strength criteria:

(a) Maximum stress,

(b) Maximum strain,

(c) Interacting failure criterion. Do not adjust for in-situ strength. You are allowed to use a computer program to find the stresses but you must present detailed computations of the R values.
