Abstract
We use the Eshelby-Stroh formalism to analyze the generalized plane strain quasistatic deformations of an anisotropic, linear elastic laminated plate. The laminate consists of homogeneous laminae of arbitrary thicknesses. Com puted results are presented for three sample problems to illustrate the eff ect of boundary conditions and of the span to height ratio. (C) 1999 Elsevi er Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
