Hi,

I'm doing composite simulation with Optistruct and I'm using 'Inter-laminar' stress; I would like to say, if it's possible, how the software consider it.

Thanks

    Are you talking about inter laminar shear stress?

    Hi,

     

    Inter laminar shear stress/ allowable shear stress are used to calculate bonding indices/ bond failure.

     

    You can think of a scenario where delamination takes place.
