The paper presents an elastic-plastic stress analysis for a woven steel fibre-reinforced thermoplastic composite cantilever beam subjected to bias-axis tension load. A polynomial stress function is utilized to satisfy both the governing differential equation in the plane stress case and the corresponding boundary conditions for elastic-plastic deformation. An analytical solution for the elastic-plastic problem of the composite beam is obtained by means of Tsai-Hill strength theory of anisotropic material. The composite beam is composed of a steel fibre reinforced low-density polyethylene thermoplastic matrix with exponent hardening material property. In contrast, an elastic-plastic finite element for the same problem is also carried out by applying ANSYS finite element analysis system. Comparing the analytical solution with the finite element solution, it can be found that two kinds of results obtained by making use of two different solving methods are suitably approached. Finally, some examples for thermoplastic composite cantilever beams with two kinds of volume percentage of fibres are carried out and the corresponding results are discussed.

In this study, an elastic-plastic stress analysis is carried out in a thermoplastic composite cantilever beam loaded by a bending moment at the free end. The composite beam is reinforced unidirectionally by steel fibers at 0, 30. 45, 60, and 90° orientation angles. An analytical solution is performed for satisfying both the governing differential equation in the plane stress case and boundary conditions for small plastic deformations. The solution is carried out under the assumption of the Bernoulli-Navier hypotheses. It is found that the intensity of the residual stress component of σ x is maximum at the upper and lower surfaces or at the boundary of the elastic and plastic regions. The composite material is assumed to be as hardening linearly. The Tsai-Hill theory is used as a yield criterion.
