CoryPad; Laminated Beam theory is too complex for me.
rb1957: rule of mixtures normally are for composite materials but not in this case.
To be clearer, the three layers of bonded material had their own Young's modulus, Poisson ratio etc. Once they are bonded as one, I assume their Young 's...
Say I had one cantilever beam which is made from three type of materials.
The cantilever is made of three layers of material, assume that they are bonded to each other perfectly and had no chance of tipping off.
How do I calculate the Young Modulus for this cantilever beam ?
