Abstract
A new displacement-based higher order theory is presented here. The theory employs realistic displacement variations and is shown to be extremely accu rate for even thick laminates and for any combination of mechanical and the rmal loading. The importance of various higher-order terms in the proposed theory is discussed with reference to a specific numerical example. (C) 199 9 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
