Abstract
A finite-element model is developed to analyze the behavior of a shear-deformable, bimodular, anisotropic plate with a uniform rectangular cross-section. The effect of shear-deformation is taken into account by assuming a linear variation for normal strains through the thickness of the plate. Results for transverse deflection and position of neutral surface are presented for a simply-supported plate under uniformly distributed load. The bending behavior is studied for different angles of fiber orientation, plate aspect ratios, and bimodularity ratios.
