“…Shear correction factors [3] are introduced based on the elasticity theory to correct the non-uniform distribution of the transverse shear through the thickness. To attempt to achieve solutions with higher accuracy, higher-order shear deformation plate theories [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] have been suggested for the analysis of composite plates. The transverse shear e ect is considered without incorporating the correction factors.…”

SUMMARYA higher-order shear deformable ÿnite strip is developed and employed in the buckling analysis of laminated composite plates when subjected to uniform end shortening. This enables the transverse shear deformation to be accurately incorporated. The permitted laminate material properties are quite general, encompassing anisotropy and full coupling between in-plane and out-of-plane behaviour. Results with respect to the number of plies, thickness of laminate and ratios of E 11 =E 22 are presented for unsymmetric cross-ply and angle-ply lay-ups and for laminates with arbitrary lay-up arrangements.

A study on the finite element (FE) analysis of laminated composite plates is described in this paper. In order to investigate structural behavior of laminated composite plates, a four-node laminated plate element is newly developed by using a higher order shear deformation theory (HSDT). In particular, assumed natural strains are introduced in the present FE formulation to alleviate the locking phenomenon. Several numerical examples are carried out and its results are then compared with the existing reference solutions. It is found to be that the proposed FE is very effective to remove the locking phenomenon and produces reliable numerical solutions for most laminated composite plate structures.

“…Among these techniques, HSDT received most attention in recent years. Many HSDT, such as those presented by Lo et al [7], Reddy [8] and Kant and Pandya [9], are available for analysis of composite laminates. However, interlaminar stresses cannot be predicted correctly by using such two-dimensional theories.…”
