Abstract
Mindlin-type plate and shell finite elements are the most widely used ones in the analysis of laminated composite structures. In the commerc ially available finite element programs, the transverse shear correcti on factors for these elements are usually the same as for structures m ade of isotropic materials. In the paper the shear correction factors are determined using energy principles for general laminates in cylind rical bending. Results for various materials and laminates are present ed.
