Abstract

In this study, a thermal elastic–plastic stress analysis is carried out in steel fiber-reinforced symmetric thermoplastic laminated plates. The material is assumed to be strain-hardening. The orientation angles are chosen as, (0°/90°)_s, (30°/30°)_s, (45°/45°)_s, (60°/60°)_s, (15°/0°)_s, (30°/0°)_s, (45°/0°)_s, (60°/0°)_s, (75°/0°)_s. The Tsai–Hill theory is used as a yield criterion in the solution. Temperature distribution is chosen as þT⁰ and T⁰ at the upper and lower surfaces, respectively. It is found that plastic yielding occurs at the same temperature; all the orientation angles and the plastic region expands the same at the same temperature.
