Abstract
The higher-order plate theory is adopted in the finite element method to analyse composite plates laminated of orthotropic bimodular materials. The transverse shear deformation can be effectively evaluated where the correction coefficient is not required. The maximum deflections and neutral surface locations of several benchmark problems are determined. The accuracy of the formulation is then established by comparing the numerical results with the analytical solutions.
