Abstract | ||
Abstract: A New theoretical formula is derived to calculate the torsional stiffness of both thin and thick-walled laminated composite tubes of [θ/-θ]n configuration. This equation can also be used to design the composite tube with a specified value of torsional stiffness accurately and simply. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the design procedure. The method is validated using the results obtained from an accurate method based on three-dimensional elasticity theory from the literature. | ||
