Static Analysis of Symmetric Angle-Ply Laminated Plates by Analytical Method.

The article presents a general analytical solution for the static bending problem of an anisotropic plate with arbitrary boundary conditions and loading. The solution include (1) give all of the boundary conditions of the four edges and the four corners, (2) substitute the general solution described by equation 8 into all boundary conditions, and express all unsine functions in sine series to obtain the integral constant, deflection, bending moment, and (3) when the load and boundaries are symmetric with respect to plate center, the half-boundary condition may not be used, and, consequently, the half-integral constants are equal.
