Summary

Affine transformation and similarity rules has been used to solve the classical bending, buckling, and vibration problems of orthotropic plates. The present work extends these concepts to antisymmetric angle-ply laminated plates by employing a simple transformation, utilising previous material constant definitions by Tsai and Brunelle, and a similarity parameter. With the help of certain defined characteristic and bounded quantities, comprehensive solutions are found to this problem; hence, the curves presented in the text are generic rather than specific. The results indicate that the frequency parameters and buckling coefficients increase with increasing generalised rigidity ratio D* and decrease with increasing generalised Poisson’s ratio ε, and the static deflection coefficients decrease with increasing D* and increase with increasing ε. The results of a reduced set of equations agree with those obtained by previous investigators.
