Abstract

Bending behaviours of laminated composite beams are presented in this study. The present theory is based on a higher-order shear deformation beam theory. The governing equations are derived from Lagrange’s equations. Ritz method is applied in which new hybrid shape functions are proposed for analysis of laminated composite beams with various boundary conditions. Numerical results are presented and compared with those from earlier works to validate the accuracy of the proposed solutions and to investigate effects of the span-to-height ratio, boundary conditions, fibre orientation and material anisotropy on the displacement and stresses.
