In general, cross-ply laminated compostie plates exhibit properties considerably different from those of the single-layer plate. The great difference in elastic properties between fiber and mtrix materials leads to a higher ratio of in-plane Young`s modulus to transverse shear modulus for laminated composite plates. Thus, to obtain the more accurate solutions to laminated composite plate problems, effcets of shear strain should be considered in analysis of them. The purpose si to expend the first-order shear deformation theory by Finite Element Analysis and to clarify the cross-ply laminated composite plates.
