How can I reduce ply maximum shear stress using tailoring
How can I reduce ply maximum shear stress using tailoring
(OP)
Hello, I ask this question for composite expert.
I have 8 ply all zero angle fiberglass cloth layup, complex box part. Open top, rest is a box enclosure with some areas with contours radius areas.
I seeing high ply "max shear stress" in my FEM. Assume that area is at the top lip, where it is open.
Load is a pressure load on one face from the inside out.
What can I do to reduce the max shear stress? I tried to make some plies 45 degree, but this increased max ply 1 and 8 shear stresses. If you need any more information please reply, I provide in my reply.
Thanks,
Kristina.

Imagine a cooler box no lid.
Put on floor, have a strap tie down it from left bottom floor to above it to right bottom floor, another strap tie down it from left back to front of it to right back.
Back wall supports box which simply sits on floor, not other restraints.
And forward load is on inside front face. I hope this helps clarity.
