Hi,

can anyone help me by telling me which of the symbols in the screenshot is for the yield stress, like is it [sT] for example? Also could you tell me what the other ones mean, like i guess that [sS] is shear stress?

 

Thanks,

Alasdair.

    Hi Alasdair,

     

    SC, ST, SS are the stress limits in compression, tension and shear and these are used for composite ply failure calculations.
