Advances in the modeling of laminated plates

Abstract A review of refined two-dimensional theories and computational models of laminated composite plates is presented. The classical and various shear deformation plate theories are presented, and recent research in these areas is reviewed. A generalization of refined theories is proposed and it's special forms are discussed. Computational aspects of the displacement finite element models of the refined theories are reviewed.
