On Extension–Shearing coupled laminates

The definitive list of null Extension–Shearing null coupled composite laminates with up to 21 plies is derived. The listings comprise of individual stacking sequences of entirely non-symmetric laminates, which are characterised in terms of angle- and cross-ply sub-sequence relationships as well as the blend-ratio of unbalanced angle-plies. Dimensionless parameters, including lamination parameters, are provided, from which the extensional and...
