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.

A higher-order shear deformation theory of laminated composite plates is developed. The theory contains the same dependent unknowns as in the first-order shear deformation theory of Whitney and Pagano [6], but accounts for parabolic distribution of the transverse shear strains through the thickness of the plate. Exact closed-form solutions of symmetric cross-ply laminates are obtained and the results are compared with three-dimensional elasticity solutions and first-order shear deformation theory solutions. The present theory predicts the deflections and stresses more accurately when compared to the first-order theory.

In the design of structural elements like shells, beams, and plates the analysis of stresses is one of the primary and most important considerations. The intention of the current research is to perform a study on stress behavior of laminated polymer composite plates reinforced with carbon nanotube(CNT). A theoretical first order shear deformation theory approach is executed on simply supported laminated composite plates subjected to uniformly distributed loads to study the effect of shear deformation on in-plane and transverse stresses. The numerical results are presented for symmetrical, eight layered polymer composite reinforced with Carbon Nanotube to explore the effect of various parameters like stacking sequence, the side-to-thickness ratio on stresses. The effect of carbon nanotube volume fraction and carbon nanotube radius is also investigated on stress distribution of composite plates. This study on stress analysis is conducted on plates principally to observe the structural suitability of nanocomposites.

 This paper is concerned with the bending of laminated composite plates with arbitrary lay-up and general boundary conditions. The analysis is based on the small deflection, first-order shear deformation theory of composite plates, which utilizes the Reissner-Mindlin plate theory. In solving the aforementioned plate problems, a general algorithm based on the Ritz method and the use of beam orthogonal polynomials as coordinate functions is derived. This general algorithm provides an analytical approximate solution that can be applied to the static analysis of moderately thick laminated composite plates with any lamination scheme and combination of edge conditions. The convergence, accuracy, and flexibility of the obtained general algorithm are shown by computing several numerical examples and comparing some of them with results given in the literature. Some results, including general laminates and nonsymmetrical boundary conditions with free edges, are also presented.
