Abstract

In Ref. [1], a model of 3-D composite laminate theory was described. In the present paper, based on the basic equations about 3-D linear elasticity and classical variational principles, by the block matrix operation and the: Lagrange's method of multipliers, a series of basic equations and variational principles are obtained, which are more complete and more systematic than that in Ref. [1].
