Abstract
The mechanical properties of a laminated material due to different layer orientation angle and pattern of layers are simulated using the finite element method. This paper aims to determine the effect of the different layer orientation angles and patterns on the mechanical properties of laminated material. Stainless steel laminated with epoxy carbon is used in this study. The model is a rectangle plate with 150 mm in length, 80 mm in width, and 4 mm in thickness. Linear static finite element analyses with 0,63 MPa normal force is applied to the three various models with different layer orientation angles and patterns. The results show that different layer orientation angles and numbers affect the mechanical properties of the material
Keywords: composite material; fiber orientation angle; number of layers; mechanical properties; finite element method
