I've been able to use the "Area Transformation Method" as shown in MERM page 51-20 to solve various composite structure problems. However, I don't really understand the origins of the method - I can get started by assuming that the strain in the two materials, but I don't understand the part where the "transformed" area is used for the stress calculations.
Can anyone describe a derivation of this method?
