✦ Synopsis

In this paper, large deflection analysis of laminated composite plates is analysed. Nonlinear governing equation for bending based on first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) in the von Karman sense is presented. These equations have been solved by the method of discrete singular convolution (DSC). Regularized Shannon's delta (RSD) kernel and Lagrange delta sequence (LDS) kernel are selected as singular convolution to illustrate the present algorithm. The effects of plate aspect ratio, fiber orientation, boundary conditions, thickness-to-side ratio, and applied load on the nonlinear static response of the laminated plate are investigated.
