Summary
The objective of the paper is to propose a simple method of formulation of 2D-theories for composite thin plates made of an arbitrary inhomogeneous linear-elastic material. The effect of inhomogeneity on the plate stiffness will be described by means of extra unknowns, called correctors, which have to satisfy a system of linear algebraic equations. The elimination of correctors can be performed in explicit form and leads to the formulas for effective stiffnesses of the plates under consideration.
