Abstract
A three dimensional solution is presented for simply supported, angle-ply laminated hybrid cylindrical panel under cylindrical bending. The differential equations with variable coefficients are solved by the modified Frobenius method. Numerical results are presented for sinusoidal loads to illustrate the effect of the thickness parameter and the lamination angle. The two dimensional classical lamination theory and first order shear deformation theory are assessed by comparison with the three dimensional solution.
