Abstract: Results from the initial phase of a study of the interlaminar stresses induced in a layered laminate that is bent into a cylindrical surface are given. The laminate is modeled as a continuum, and the resulting elasticity equations are solved using the finite-difference method. The report sets forth the mathematical framework, presents some preliminary results, and provides a listing and explanation of the computer program. Significant among the results are apparent symmetry relationships that will reduce the numerical size of certain problems and an interlaminar stress behavior having a sharp rise at the free edges.
