This document discusses failure analysis and design of composite laminates. It covers different types of laminate configurations including symmetric, cross-ply, angle-ply, antisymmetric, balanced, and quasi-isotropic laminates. Examples are provided to demonstrate analysis of laminates under tensile loading using failure criteria such as Tsai-Wu and maximum strain theories. The effects of ply failure on laminate stiffness degradation are also examined.
