transverse fiber directions at T= 50K were computed using the finite element analysis (Tables 2-11 and 2-12). The micro-stresses in the inner and outer face sheets were calculated using the superposition method described in the previous section. Table 2-11. Laminate macro-strains used to obtain the micro-stresses in the inner and outer face-sheets of the sandwich composite without internal pressure.
