On the Convergence of Laminated Composite Plates of Arbitrary Shape through Finite Element Models

The present work considers a computational study on laminated composite plates by using a linear theory for moderately thick structures. The present problem is solved numerically because analytical solutions cannot be found for such plates when lamination schemes are general and when all the stiffne...
