NONLINEAR BENDINGS OF RECTANGULAR SYMMETRICALLY LAMINATED CROSS-PLY PLATES UNDER VARIOUS SUPPORTS

This paper studies the nonlinear bendings of rectangular symmetrically laminated cross-ply plates subjected to uniform pressure under various supports on the basis of^3] by the singular perturbation method offered in^{1]. The uniformly valid N-order asymptotic solutions of the deflection and stress function are derived. Analyses and numerical solutions are given for simply supported rectangular laminates and edge displacement zero.}
