Abstract
Although the classical lamination theory was developed long time ago, it is not easy to apply this theory to find an analytical solution for the problem with curvilinear boundaries, especially when the laminates are composed of the laminae that will make the in-plane and plate bending deformations couple each other. Even under in-plane forces if the laminates are unsymmetric they will be stretched as well as bent, and the two-dimensional analysis cannot be applied. Because this kind of problems was solved by the complex variable formalism in two-dimensional deformation, it is hoped that similar formalism can be developed for the classical lamination theory.
