Closed-form and finite-element solutions are presented for thermal bending and stretching of laminated composite plates. The material of each layer is assumed to be elastically and thermoelastically orthotropic and bimodular, i.e., having different properties depending upon whether the fibre-direction normal strain is tensile or compressive. The formulations are based on the thermoelastic version of the Whitney-Pagano laminated plate theory, which includes thickness shear deformations. Numerical results are obtained for deflections and neutral-surface positions associated with normal strains in both of the in-plane coordinates. The closed-form and finite-element results are found to be in good agreement.

In this paper, a new kind of finite element method (FEM) is proposed, which use the two-dimensional Hermite interpolation scaling function constructed by tensor product as the basis interpolation function of field function, and then combine with the energy functional with related mechanics and variational principle, the wavelet finite element equations for solving elastic thin plate unit that constructed in this paper are derived. Then the bending problem of thin plate is solved very quickly and availably through the matlab program. The numerical example in this paper indicates the correctness and validity of this method, and has high calculation precision and convergence speed. Moreover, it also provides a reliable method to solve the free vibration problem of thin plate and the pipe crack problems.
