Abstract
A Mindlin-type shear deformation theory is applied to the bending and buckling analysis of anisotropic, rectangular plates. Approximate solutions to the governing partial differential equations are obtained utilizing the Galerkin method. Three sets of boundary conditions are considered. Numerical results are obtained in conjunction with symmetrically-laminated composite plates. Accuracy of the numerical method is investigated along with the effects of bending-twisting coupling on maximum deflection under transverse load and on critical buckling loads. Arbitrary combinations of inplane normal and shear forces are included in the buckling analysis. Numerical results indicate that the effect of bending-twisting shear coupling depends on plate thickness.
