Abstract:

Using the basic assumptions of thin plate theory the governing equations of a laminated anisotropic composite plate are formulated. In particular, the type of plate under discussion consists of n layers of orthotropic sheets unidirectional composites bonded together. Each layer has arbitrary thickness, elastic properties, and orientation of orthotropic axes with respect to the plate axes. The governing equations are obtained by integrating the equations of nonlinear elasticity over the plate thickness, inertia terms and thermal stresses are included. Author
