Shear Deformation Theories

Based on the new simple third-order shear deformation theory, the deflections and stresses of the simply surported symmetrical laminated composite plates are obtained by using the principle of virtual work .The solutions are compared with the solutions of three-dimensional elasticity theory, the first-order shear deformation theory and the Reddy’s higher order shear deformation theory . Results show that the presented new theory is more reliable, accurate, and cost-effective in computation than the first-order shear deformation theories and other simple higher-order shear deformation theories.
