Stresses in rotating cross-ply laminated hollow cylinders with arbitrary thickness

Abstract

The stress analysis of a rotating finite cross-ply laminated composite hollow cylinder with two ends simply supported is conducted with the Coriolis acceleration effect involved. The state-space approach is employed together with the layerwise method as well as the Fourier expansion technique. The analysis is completely based on the exact elasticity equations so that hollow cylinders with arbitrary thickness can be readily dealt with. Numerical comparison with exact solution of a rotating infinite hollow cylinder without the Coriolis effect shows good agreement.
