DOI: 10.3390/ma15217752
Abstract: Analytical calculations were performed on carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates in an asymmetrical configuration. The asymmetric configuration of composites was investigated, where extension–twisting and extension–bending couplings were used to obtain the elastic element. Analysis of… read more here.
