Abstract

In this work, there are presented overviews of theoretical and numerical models for defining the stress-strain state in the cross section of moderately thick and thick composite plates in case of bending. Layered composite plates are constructed by combination of layers of various materials and geometrical characteristics, wherein each of them has got a bearing capacity in previously defined directions. By applying Equivalent Single-layer Laminate Theory (or ESL theory) these layers' problems cannot be solved successfully. That is the reason to apply contemporary theories of plates, in literature known as Layerwise theories. At the end of this work, there are given numeric examples of applying Partial Layerwise Theory.
