THE TRANSVERSE DEFLECTION ANALYSIS OF UNSYMMETRICAL COMPOSITE LAMINATED PLATES

The nonlinear governing equations of composite laminated plates with elastical restraint are established by use of energy variational principle and nonlinear geometric equations in this paper. The governing equations are solved by means of generalized Fourier series method,subsequently the corresponding load deflection curves are obtained. The analysis in this paper is focused on the transverse deflection of unsymmetrical laminates.
