Abstract
The von Karman large deflection theory is used in the analysis of antisymmetrically laminated angle-ply plates in cylindrical bending. The formulation considers the effect of transverse shear governing the behavior of moderately thick plates. The system of non-linear equations are solved numerically to evaluate the effect of transverse shear deformation on the response of the plate for a wide range of lateral pressure and lay-up angle. Numerical solutions are presented for uniformly loaded, simply supported plates having immovable edges in the plane of the plate. Solutions based on classical plate and shear deformation theories are compared to assess the influence of shear-bending coupling on the plate behavior in the non-linear regime.
