v3.03.121 SSLS121 - Laminated plate subjected to elementary loads

Summary:

This test represents the almost static calculation of a laminated plate, composed of 3 layers of orthotropic material, subjected to 4 elementary loads.

The plate is modelled in finite elements DST (mesh QUAD4), it is located in a plane \(\mathrm{XZ}\) and is inclined by 48.5 degrees with respect to \(X\) (to check the coordinate system changes).

In this test, the plane stresses and the transverse shear stresses are compared to an analytical reference solution.
