Abstract

A simple four-node isoparametric finite element with five degrees of freedom, based on Reddy’s third-order shear deformation theory, is elaborated and used in a model for analizing the bending of laminated plates. The results obtained are compared with solutions given by the three-dimensional elasticity and other theories.
