Effects of moisture profiles and laminate configuration on the hygro stress in advanced compositesA theoretical investigation was performed using a recently developed integrated theory for predicting the hygrothermomechanical response to investigate the effects of three different moisture profiles on the ply hygro stresses in angleplied laminates. The moisture profiles were linear, parabolic and hyperbolic varying from 1 percent at the exposed ply to '0' percent in the protected ply. The angleplied laminates were of two generic configurations. The results obtained are summarized graphically to illustrate the effects of both moisture profile and laminate configuration.
