FUNDAMENTAL SOLUTIONS OF SYMMETRICAL LAMINATED THICK PLATES ON ELASTIC FOUNDATION 1)

In this paper the governing partial differential equations of symmetrically laminated thick plates including transverse shear deformation are transferred into ordindary differential equations by the use of the method of a plane wave decomposition. Then the ordinary differential equations are transferred into a sixth-order ordinary differential equation. Fundamental solutions of symmentrically laminated thick plates including transverse shear deformation on elastic foundation are presented in the form of a d...
