Abstract
Transverse matrix cracking has been investigated extensively. One of the key issues in studies on this subject is stiffness reduction of laminate due to the existence of transverse cracks in the laminate. Most accounts in the literature examine the in-plane stiffnesses [1-7] with few capable of predicting the bending stiffnesses [8-10]. There has been no account available in the literature, to the best of the authors' knowledge, dealing with the reduction of transverse shear stiffnesses of transversely cracked laminates.
