✦ Synopsis

In the course of reproducing the solutions of 3-dimensional thermoelastic laminated plates of M. Savoia and J. N. Reddy's paper published in ht. J. Solids and Structures, Vol. 32, No. 5, pp. 593-608, we found errors in eqns (12a) and ( 17) in the paper. Drs Savoia and Reddy missed the transverse normal effects in the discretized equilibrium equations. The eqns (12a) and ( 17) are inconsistent with equilibrium eqn (7) where they kept the transverse normal term. Thus, eqn (12a) for cross-ply laminates should be corrected as follows.

The first of eqn (17) for antisymmetric angle-ply laminates should be corrected as follows.
