I'm looking for formula to determine the Interliminar and shear stress in a composite curved beam. Can anyone help me? Thanks.
 
The interlaminar normal stress in a curved quasi-isotropic laminate can be approximated by -1.5*M/Rm*t where M is the moment per unit length, Rm is the mean radius, and t is the laminate thickness. I think you can find this in the Niu composit book.
