Three-dimensional thermo-mechanical stresses in laminated cylindrical panels are theoretically investigated. The cylindrical panels are simply supported at four edges and are subjected to nonuniform thermal and mechanical loadings on the inner and outer surfaces. The theoretical model of this problem is established by using 3D thermo-elastic theory. Analytical solutions of 3D temperature distribution and thermo-mechanical stress fields are derived by using variable separation approach and series solving method. A three-layer laminated cylindrical panel is numerically analyzed by using the present method. All results are graphically presented and briefly discussed.
