Abstract:Â A laminated composite beam consists of more than one lamina bonded together through their thickness. Laminate layers are stacked at different angles to withstand different loading and stiffness requirements. This paper deals with the analysis of laminated composite beam using FEMAP Nx Nastran and the results for transverse displacement are obtained. The results from FEMAP software are validated with standard research paper of Khdeir and Reddy [1]. The beam size used for the analysis is of 0.1m x 0.1m in crosssection and 1m in length. Both symmetric [0/90/0] and antisymmetric [0/90] layered beams are analysed and validated. Parametric study is also done on the symmetric laminated composite beam [0/90/0] by varying the L/h ratio, boundary conditions, and E1/E2 ratios and the results are tabulated and conclusions are made.
