Abstract
The study presents an elasto-plastic stress analysis of symmetric and antisymmetric cross-ply, angle-ply laminated metal-matrix composite plates. Long stainless steel fiber reinforced aluminum metal-matrix composite layer is manufactured by using moulds under the action of 30 MPa pressure and heating up to 600 °C. A laminated plate consists of four metal-matrix layers bonded symmetrically or antisymmetrically. The first-order shear deformation theory and nine-node Lagrangian finite element is used. The in-plane load is increased gradually.
