A COMPARISON OF CLOSED-FORM AND FINITE-ELEMENT SOLUTIONS OF THICK LAMINATED ANISOTROPIC RECTANGULAR-PLATES Academic Article

abstract

• In this study the effects of reduced integration, mesh size, and element type (i.e. linear or quadratic) on the accuracy of a penalty-finite element based on the theory governing thick, laminated, anisotropic composite plates are investigated. In order to assess the accuracy of the present finite element, exact closed-form solutions are developed for cross-ply and antisymmetric angle-ply rectangular plates simply supported and subjected to sinusoidally distributed mechanical and/or thermal loadings, and free vibration. 1981.
