ABSTRACT--Residual (curing) stresses in a cross-ply and the second in a flat cross-ply panel. 2 Neither of these
laminated plate are related to the strains released when studies presents a unified experimental procedure which
individual plies are separated. Released displacements are results in determination of the residual stresses at prese-

cross-ply laminates are considered in this paper in which
tions are used to calculate residual stresses remote from

oxy cylinder are determined. During cooling from the curing temperature, certain
plies contract more than their neighbors, leading to locke
