Abstract

Moderately-thick anti-symmetric angle-ply laminated clamped plates, subjected to uniform distributed loads, are critically investigated using analytical and finite element techniques. A recently developed generalized Navier approach based on Reissner-Mindlin shear deformation theory is used for the analytical investigation, while a four-node quadrilateral element due to Bathe and Dvorkin is employed for the finite element solution. Numerical results presented for various parametric responses are compared with the available thin plate-based analytical solutions. The numerical results thus presented should serve as bench-marks for future comparisons.
