Abstract

A number of laminated composite plates having angle-ply orientations are analyzed using finite element method. In order to find the effect of ply orientation on the deflections and stresses, four different laminates are chosen and applied to uniformly distributed load as well as sinusoidally varying load on their top surfaces. Simply supported as well as clamped boundary conditions are applied to these laminated plates. It is found that both the boundary condition and the loading type greatly influence the response of the laminated plates, while the responses are seen to change with change in the ply orientation angle.
