Benchmark solution
=====================


Benchmark solution
---------------------

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


Benchmark results
----------------------

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


Uncertainty about the solution
---------------------------

Digital solution.
