✦ Synopsis

The interlaminar stresses and deflections in a laminated rectangular plate under thermal bending were determined by using the generalized differential quadrature method involving the effect of shear deformation. The approximate stress and deflection solutions are obtained under the bending of sinusoidal temperature of thermal load for layer in cross-ply laminates and angle-ply laminates. Numerical results show that the shear deformation has significant effects on the dominant interlaminar stresses and deflections in the laminated plate of thermal bending analysis.
