II.1.8.3 Out-of-plane T/C deformation

The Classical Lamination Theory is based on the assumption that σ33 = 0. Consequently, ϵ33 and ϵ33Mech are generally not zero. These strain tensor components can be estimated from (12):

ϵ33Mech = c 3311σ11 + c3322σ22 + c3333σ33 + c3323σ23 + c3331σ31 + c3312σ12,
ϵ33 = ϵ33Mech + α 33ΔT + β33ΔH.
