A GENERALIZATION OF TWO-DIMENSIONAL THEORIES OF LAMINATED COMPOSITE PLATES Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • AbstractA general twodimensional shear deformation theory of laminated composite plates is presented. The theory account for a desired degree of approximation of the displacements through the laminate thickness. As special cases, the classical, firstorder (ReissnerMindlin) and other shear deformation theories available in the literature can be deduced from the present theory.
