Figure 5.2. Abaqus results showing the von Mises stress contour legends of the longitudinal<br />
and transverse stresses (in Pa) for a composite coupon modeled with S4R elements under an<br />
axial displacement load.<br />
The exact solution for the pull test was calculated <strong>using</strong> classical lamination theory<br />
(CLT). Longitudinal, transverse and shear stress results for composite coupons modeled with<br />
four different types of elements were compared to the exact solution. The percentage error<br />
was calculated for each of the cases to report deviations from the exact solution. The results<br />
are tabulated in Table 5.3.<br />
