ANALYSIS OF BENDING OF UNSYMMETRICAL LAMINATED PLATES USING REDUCED BENDING STIFFNESS METHOD
-
Abstract
In the paper, tiLe reduced bendinb stiffnss (RBS) method is used to treat the bending of ussymmetricwlly laminated plates as symmetrical problems in form so that transverse chear deformation is considered.Then their solution procedures are greatly simplified.Numerical results show that the RBS method is found to yield Bufficient accuracy when the number of laminates is greater than 2.
