The generalized plane strain deformations of thick anisotropic composite laminated plates

We use the Eshelby±Stroh formalism to analyze the generalized plane strain quasistatic deformations of an anisotropic, linear elastic laminated plate. The laminate consists of homogeneous laminae of arbitrary thicknesses. Computed results are presented for three sample problems to illustrate the e€ect of boundary conditions and of the span to height ratio.
