Transient temperature field of laminated plate which considering radiation is analyzed by laying temperature lines in every layer in this paper. Finite element equations are established by using high-order displacement field which considering shear effect based on the temperature analysis. Then thermally induced vibration of laminated plate is investigated by solving the finite element equation with numerical method. Compared with numerical results of ANSYS by using 3-D coupled element (SOLID5), the methods presented in this paper have a satisfied precision and better efficiency. It can give reference to the thermally induced vibration analysis of thin-large flexible laminated appendages of spacecraft.
