Özet
In this study, the effect of a square hole on thermal stresses in a cross ply laminated composite plates reinforced steel fiber-aluminum metal-matrix was examined. Laminated composite plates were composed of four orthotropic layers. The stacking sequences of composite were also selected as symmetric (0/90)s and antisymmetric (0/90)2 manners. Uniform temperature distribution was selected as thermal loading. Finite element method (FEM) was performed to calculate the magnitude of the thermal stresses, ANSYS software was used during the solution. The width square laminated plate-to-the square hole dimension, a/b, was chosen as 5. The results were given in graphical forms.
