2. Benchmark solution

2.1. Benchmark solution

The numerical solution obtained with a multi-layer plate theory in orthotropic linear elasticity is given in the reference [bib1] page 341.

2.2. Benchmark results

At point \(C\), we calculate the following displacement \(z\) of the point as well as the stresses \({\sigma }_{x}\) at the lower and upper interfaces of the skins.

2.3. Uncertainty about the solution

Digital solution.
