2) An 8-ply Scotchply 1002 laminate [0/30/-30/90]s with a ply thickness tp = 0.005 in is subjected to the in-plane stress resultant N1 = 1000 lb/in.
a. Determine the strength ratio (R) and the critical value of N1 for first ply failure using the Tsai-Wu failure criterion.
b. Determine the strength ratio (R) and the critical value of Nxx for ultimate laminate failure using the Tsai-Wu failure criterion.
Give the minimum strength ratio and each layup as you proceed through the problem (consistent with the example problem on page 232 of the notes). Include a summary page showing each successive layup, including the plies that "failed" (*), and the corresponding R-value (just as shown in the example problem).
