Abstract
The boundary layer theory of plane stress in isotropic elasticity devel oped by Reiss and Locke is extended here to the laminated composites, In the boundary layer region, equations are separated into two problems, i.e., torsion problem and plane strain problem. These two problems are coupled through the compatibility equations as well as the continuity condition at the interfaces of the laminates. This formulation provides a tool to obtain analytical solutions to predict the two interlaminar shear stresses as well as the normal or "peel" stress.Keywords
