Numerical analysis is performed to investigate deformation behaviour and strength of in-plane balanced antisymmetric laminates under tension caused by centrifugal load. It is determined that antisymmetric orientation of external layers of in-plane balanced laminate can be used to ensue the necessary adaptive warping and strength of the laminate under action of axial load.
