A General Ritz Algorithm for Static Analysis of Arbitrary Laminated Composite Plates using First Order Shear Deformation Theory

This paper is concerned with the bending of laminated composite plates with arbitrary lay-up and general boundary conditions. The analysis is based on the small deflection, first-order shear deformation theory of composite plates, which utilizes the Reissner-Mindlin plate theory. In solving the afor...
