II.1.7.2 Out-of-plane shear thermo-elastic behavior

Starting with the out-of-plane shear constitutive equation (II.1.28) and the expression defining the out-of-plane shear force vectors {Qs} lam, developments similar to those of section II.1.7.1 are carried out, defining the following quantities:

{αsGh}lam = ∫ -h∕2h∕2 [g] lam ⋅ {αs} lam dz, = ∑ k=1N [g] lamk ⋅ {α s} lamk (z k - zk-1) . (II.1.66)

{αsGh2} lam = ∫ -h∕2h∕2z [g] lam ⋅ {αs} lam dz, = ∑ k=1N [g] lamk ⋅ {α s} lamk (zk2 - z k-12 2 ) . (II.1.67) They are used in the expression:

{Q}lam = [G]lam ⋅ {Γ} lam - {αsGh}lam(T0 - Tref) - {αsGh2} lamT,z.
(II.1.68)

Correspondingly, the laminate out-of-plane shear CTE vectors are defined:

{α0s} lam = [G]lam-1 ⋅ {αGh} lam
(II.1.69)

{α1s} lam = [G]lam-1 ⋅ {αGh2} lam
(II.1.70)

These two expressions allow one to write the inverse of (II.1.68):

[Γ] lam = [G]lam-1 ⋅ {Q} lam + {α0s} lam(T0 - Tref) + {α1s} lamT,z.
