Abstract
A simple quadrilateral hybrid stress clement is presented for the anal ysis of laminated orthotropic and anisotropic plates. The initial tria ls of layer stresses are pretreated by an energy constraint. A higher- order theory incorporating realistic through thickness approximation o f the inplane displacement is proposed. A variety of laminated plate p roblems are solved and the results are compared with the analytical so lution, which demonstrate the validity of the method.
