Laminate shell Theory

The classic laminate shell theory uses the plane deformation components of the laminate:ε 12 y ε6 y las curvaturas κ12 y κ6 . It does not consider interlaminar effects in the laminate: not the normal interlaminar deformation ε 3 , neither the interlaminar shear deformation components ε 4 and ε 5 .

Thus, the application of this theory reduces to:
