In a groundbreaking development for the analysis of deforestation of multilayered composites subjected to sinusoidal loading conditions, Christian Mathew, a student at Virginia Tech, has introduced an innovative method to forecast the behaviour of multilayered composite plates under diverse conditions. His research, with profound implications for industries reliant on laminated composites, promises to revolutionise the design and analysis of composite materials. Composite materials, which amalgamate multiple engineering materials on a macroscopic level, are esteemed for their superior properties. This novel numerical technique, applied to multilayered composite plates, offers a more accurate prediction of their static behaviour, especially under diverse boundary conditions. Multilayered composite structures present challenges due to their inherent anisotropy, heterogeneity, and low ratio of transverse shear modulus to the in-plane Young’s modulus.
