The full LWT of Reddy [1] is used to analyze the bending problem of Antisymmetric cross-ply thick laminates with finite dimensions. The solution procedure is based on a generalized Lévy-type solution [2] where two opposite ...

Within the displacement field of a layerwise theory, two laminated beam theories for beams with general lamination are developed. In the first theory, an existing layerwise laminated plate theory is adapted to laminated beams. The procedure used...

A layerwise theory is used to investigate analytically the interlaminar stresses near the free edges of general cross-ply composite laminates under uniform axial extension.Laminates with finite dimensions are considered and full three...

Thermo-mechanical properties of materials enable the designers to construct thermal-sensitive structures as actuators to perform a pre-defined function or as sensors to control an operation. A bi-material thermostat is a ...

. The localized thermal effects especially appear near the edges of the bond-line, where the edge effects significantly affect the stress distributions. Within the framework of the full layerwise theory, this paper presents accurate analytical solutions...

An analytical solution of dynamic response of thick cross-ply laminated plates, based on the full layerwise theory, is presented in this paper. Analytical solutions are determined by a simple but efficient method which involves a transformation...
