Transverse stresses are assumed through thickness at a point of interest and are recovered via a one-dimensional finite element method. The finite element method is based on the least square functional of the error in the equilibrium equation along the thickness direction and utilizes the in-plane stresses and resultant transverse shear forces per unit length obtained by a shell element analysis. Numerical results demonstrate that, with minimal addition of computational efforts, the present post-processing approach can be used to accurately determine the time history of transverse stresses at a point of interest in composite structures under dynamic loading.}, DOI = {10.3970/cmes.2008.032.113} }
