A SECTIONAL WARPING CORRECTIVE MODEL FOR COMPOSITE LAMINATED PLATES

The sectional warping corrective theory is used. The statics equilibrium equation for composite laminated plates is derived by means of the principle of minimum potential energy. In the plate plane,two-dimension hierarchical displacement functions are adopted during numerical analysis. The obtained numerical results for both displacement and stress distrihution in the thickness direction of a rectanguler bidirectional composite laminated plate are compared tenth the exact solution;as a consequence,the present method is shown to have good convergence.
