Abstract: Using the basic assumptions of thin-plate theory, including nonlinear terms in the von Karman sense, the governing equations of a laminated anisotropic plate are formulated. In particular, the ...

Abstract: A bending theory for anisotropic laminated plates developed by Yang, Norris, and Stavsky is investigated. The theory includes shear deformation and rotary inertia in the same manner as Mindlin’s ...

Abstract: A set of governing equations and boundary conditions are derived which describe the static deformation of a laminated anisotropic cylindrical shell. The theory includes both transverse shear ...
