Bidirectional Bending of Laminated Plates Using Trigonometric Shear Deformation Theory
Abstract: Bidirectional bending analysis of symmetric cross-ply laminated plates using trigonometric shear deformation theory is presented. Theory takes into account of transverse shear deformation effect without transverse strain effect. Theory uses sinusoidal function in the displacement field in terms of thickness coordinate to include shear deformation effects. It has only three variables. It is to be noted that the present theory satisfies the constitutive relations in respect of transverse shear strain …
