Abstract
Based on the von Karman-type plate theory a solution is formulated for the large deflection of an unsymmetrically laminated angle-ply rectangular plate under transverse and inplane loads. Each pair of opposite edges is assumed to be elastically restrained against rotation to the same degree. The transverse deflection and force function in governing equations are expanded into generalize double Fourier series such that all required boundary conditions are exactly satisfied. Numerical results for maximum deflection, bending moment and inplane force in the plate are graphically presented for various aspect ratios, types of transverse load, high-modulus composite materials, numbers of layers, angles of orientation and boundary conditions. Present results for simple boundary conditions are in good agreement with previous data.
