A Theory of Laminated Composite Plates and Rods.

Abstract

This paper is concerned with small deformations of a class of laminated layered composite plates and a class of laminated layered composite rods utilizing a direct formulation of thermomechanical theories of shells and rods. The paper is arranged in two parts, namely Part A (for laminated composite plates) and Part B (for laminated composite rods), and can be read independently of each other. In each part, after providing the main ingredients of a direct formulation, fairly general linear theories are developed which include both dynamical and thermal effects. Some applications to sandwich plates and layered rods are discussed in detail. (Author)
