Design Problem of Laminated Plates with Specified Characteristics

  • Published:
Journal of Applied Mechanics and Technical Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

The problem of design of laminated plates with specified stiffness and strength characteristics is considered. The starting design problem is reduced to the convex‐combination problems, which is solved by the convolution method. The following design problems are solved: design with allowance for strength, design of a laminated plate of unconstrained thickness, and design for approximately specified characteristics.
