Abstract

Metal-matrix composites provide new materials with superior properties. They give high strength and stiffness and fatigue properties. In this study, a stainless steel fiber reinforced aluminum metal-matrix laminated simply supported plate with a circular hole is loaded transversely. Elastic, elasto-plastic and residual stresses are calculated in the symmetric and/or antisymmetric cross-ply and angle-ply laminated plate for small deformations by using finite elements method. Load steps are chosen 200, 400 and 600. Isoparametric quadrilateral element with nine node is developed for the elasto-plastic analysis. Metal-matrix composite laminated plate is manufactured by using moulds under the action of 30 MPa and heating up 600degreesC. The first-order shear deformation theory is used in the study.
