Definition of Terms
Lamina
Laminate
1. The thickness of the plate is much smaller than the in-plane dimensions.
2. The shapes of the deformed plate surface are small compared to unity.
3. Normals to the undeformed plate surface remain normal to the deformed
plate surface.
4. Vertical deflection does not vary through the thickness; and
5. Stress normal to the plate surface is negligible.
