Abstract
In this paper, an analytic method is presented for the research of nonlinear three-dimensional problems of composite laminated plates. The perturbation method and the variational principle are used to satisfy the basic differential equations and the boundary conditions of the three-dimensional theory of elasticity. The nonlinear three-dimensional problems are studied for composite anisotropic circular laminas and laminates subjected to transverse loading. The perturbation series solutions of high accuracy are obtained. A large number of results show that transverse normal stress and transverse shear stresses are very important in the nonlinear three-dimensional analysis of laminated plates.
