This book was released on 2000 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of the attenuation of bending boundary layers in balanced and unbalanced, symmetrically and unsymmetrically laminated cylindrical shells is presented for nine contemporary material systems. The analysis is based on the linear Sanders-Koiter shell equations and specializations to the Love-Kirchhoff shell equations and Donnell's equations are included. Two nondimensional parameters are identified that characterize the effects of laminate orthotropy and anisotropy on the bending boundary-layer length in a very general manner. A substantial number of structural design technology results are presented for a wide range of laminated-composite cylinders.
