Sergei A. Ambartsumian, Theory of Anisotropic Plates: Strength, Stability, Vibration, Technomic, 1970, 248 pages, 2nd edition: 1991

In this 2nd edition, published in 1991, the author has expanded and developed refined theories of anisotropic plates, yielding results not only for classical problems in the theory of anisotropic plates, but also for new problems in the mechanics of thin-wall systems. Problems of strength, stability and vibrations of plates are considered. This monograph should be of interest to different branches of modern engineering, particularly to specialists concerned with the problems of mechanics of composite materials.

Another abstract:
This book is devoted to the development and formulation of an improved theory of anisotropic plates free from the basic hypothesis of the classical theory, i.e., from the hypothesis of nondeformable normals. The versions of the improved theory considered in this book are, in fact, new approaches for the consideration of the effect of transverse displacements and of normal stresses with respect to the middle-plate surface. These versions introduce a basic correction to the classical theory and may be applied in the derivation of the first correction to the basic stress state of the classical theory. The magnitude of this correction increases together with the ratio Ei/Gi3 and may be significant for highly anisotropic plates.
