Computation of interlaminar stresses from finite element solutions to plate theories

Interlaminar stresses are estimated from plate theories by equilibrium. The elasticity equations of equilibrium are integrated with respect to the thickness coordinate z using the linear distribution in z of the in-plane stresses. This procedure, for example, requires fourth order derivatives of the...
