Features: This book is an academic monograph on the geometric nonlinearity theory of composite laminates, written by the author based on years of research and referencing relevant domestic and international literature. It provides a relatively complete theoretical framework to address the nonlinear bending behavior of composite laminates. The book primarily elaborates on the following three aspects: geometric nonlinearity problems of orthotropic plates with complex boundary conditions under the Kirchhoff hypothesis; geometric nonlinearity problems of composite laminates under complex boundary conditions based on the higher-order shear deformation theory; and geometric nonlinearity problems of composite laminates under elastic rotation constraint boundary conditions in humid-thermal environments and elastic foundation. This book can be used by composite material structure designers, and also serves as a textbook or reference for senior undergraduate and graduate students in aerospace, civil engineering, and mechanics. Additionally, it can be used as a reference for engineering technicians and applied mathematicians.
