Abstract
Numerical examples involving several representative laminates subjected to uniaxial tension are addressed to show the capability of the present LW method to capture the steep transverse stress gradients occurring in the vicinity of free edges. It is shown that it can provide quasi-3D results less costly than 3D FEM computations.
