Abstract

In the static and dynamic analysis of composite laminates, a theory for the laminated plates is presented in this paper. Because the deflection W_b which is caused by the classical bending deformation and the deflection W_s which is caused by the shear deformation are divided from the total deflection W in the theory, this makes it easy to solve the governing equations. In addition, this theory is convenient for the discussion and analysis of the effects of transverse shear deformations on bendings, vibrations and stabilities of laminated plates.
