Abstract

In this paper, deformations of a laminated composite plate due to mechanical loads are presented. Third order shear deformation theory of plates, which is categorized in equivalent single layer theories, is used to derive linear dynamic equations of a rectangular multi-layered composite plate. Moreover, derivation of equations for FEM and numerical solutions for displacements and stress distributions of different points of the plate with a sinusoidal distributed mechanical load for Navier type boundary conditions are presented.
