Finite Element Failure Analysis of GFRP Laminates in Plate-Cone Reticulated Shell

Table 2

Uniformly distributed load when layer-by-layer failure of laminated plates.

Laying mode	First layer strength (kN/m^2)	Layers failed at first	Last layer strength (kN/m^2)	Layers failed at last
[0/90]°S	26.6	2^nd and 3^rd layers	130.0	1^st and 4^th layers
[90/0]°S	26.5	1^st and 4^th layers	132.3	2^nd and 3^rd layers
[−45/+45]°S	44.5	All of four layers	44.5	All of four layers
[+45/−45]°S	44.4	All of four layers	44.5	All of four layers
[+45/0]°S	65.4	1^st and 4^th layers	83.0	2^nd and 3^rd layers
[0/+45]°S	65.5	2^nd and 3^rd layers	83.0	1^st and 4^th layers
[+45/90]°S	14.8	2^nd and 3^rd layers	43.6	1^st and 4^th layers
[90/+45]°S	14.8	1^st and 4^th layers	43.8	2^nd and 3^rd layers
