parallel laminate

parallel laminate

[′par·ə‚lel ′lam·ə·nət]
(materials)
A laminate in which all the layers of material are set approximately parallel with respect to a particular characteristic, such as the grain or the direction of tension.

A literature search found that work on non wood composites had found a similar effect of cross orienting versus parallel laminates. Tsai (11) reported that a 10-degree angle ply laminate had close to twice the tension strength of a 10-degree unidirectionally wound laminate and Kelly (6) reported that balanced cross ply laminates stressed in tension failed by interlaminar shear with a lower rate of decrease in tension strength for angles up to 30 degrees than found for unidirectional laminates.
