Abstract
A trigonometric shear deformation theory (TSDT) taking into account transverse shear deformation effect as well as transverse normal strain effect is presented. The inplane displacement field uses sinusoidal function in terms of thickness coordinate to include the shear deformation effect. The cosine function in thickness coordinates is used in transverse displacement to include the effect of transverse normal strain. Governing equations and boundary conditions of the theory are obtained using the principle of virtual work. The results of displacements and stresses for static flexure of simply supported symmetric and anti-symmetric cross-ply laminated square plates subjected to parabolic load and line load are obtained. The results obtained by present theory are compared with those of classical, first-order and higher-order plate theories.
