.. _R4.01.01: **r4.01.01** Pre and post-treatment for thin shells made of composite materials =================================================================================== **Summary:** The results of the theory of plate elements presented in the documentation [:ref:`R3.07.03 `] are extended to the case of multi-layer orthotropic materials. The proposed documentation includes thermal and thermo-elastomechanical aspects. The use of these materials is theoretically valid only in the case of geometric symmetry with respect to the average sheet of the plate. It is therefore necessary for the membrane-flexure coupling to be zero. .. toctree:: :hidden: self .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 :numbered: Introduction Caract_ristiques_homog_n_is_es_d_une_coque_mince_en_thermo-_lasticit__et_en_thermique Rep_res_dans_le_plan_tangent___la_coque__Notation_matricielle Coques_constitu_es_de_couches_homog_nes Bibliographie Description_des_versions_du_document
