The Lead Defining Composite Stiffness (Through-the-Thickness) By Rik Heslehurst, PhD Most composite laminate design analysis is based on the in-plane stiffness properties of the individual plies (Ex, Ey and Gxy). However, there are some design areas where through-the- thickness stiffness values are needed, such as fastener torque, T-joint peeling loads, composite skinned sandwich structure imbedded … Read more
