Iterative method for large deflection nonlinear problem of laminated composite shallow shells and plates

Based on the results by Wang,in this paper, the iterative method is presented for the study of large deflection nonlinear problem of laminated composite shallow shells and plates. The rectangular laminated composite shallow shells have been analyzed. The results have been compared with the small deflection linear analytical solution and finite element nonlinear solution. The results proved that the solution coincide with small deflection linear analytical solution in the condition of the low loads and finite element nonlinear solution in the condition of the high loads.
