Stress concentration factor in composite structure
Stress concentration factor in composite structure
(OP)
Hello,
I'd like to know if anyone has any documentation for stress concentration factors (Kt) in composite structure. More specifically I am looking for concentration factors in the radii of composite structural members.
Is there an industry standard or is the information company specific?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Perhaps this can be of help.
Developing the Reduced stiffness matrix for your laminate, you can apply this in a calc for whitney point stress methods, to arrive at a kt. This is more useful for holes, or damage greater than BVID damage.
