Ym. Lai et Yp. Wu, AN EXACT METHOD FOR DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF RECTANGULAR LAMINATED ORTHOTROPIC PLATES UNDER HEATING LOAD, Journal of composites technology & research, 18(2), 1996, pp. 135-139
By means of the three-dimensional (3D) elastic theory, a state equatio
n is deduced for the exact analysis of laminated orthotropic plates un
der a harmonic temperature variation T = T' (x,y,z). The exact solutio
n for the response of simply supported rectangular laminated orthotrop
ic plates to applied heating is given by solving the state equation. F
inally, the numeric results of boundary surface stresses of every ply
of laminated orthotropic plates are given by two numeric examples.
