In this study, it is presented analysis results of bending problems in the orthotropic thick plates and the orthotropic thin plates. Finite element method in this analysis was used. Both Kirchoffs assumptions and Mindlin assumptions are used as the basic governing equations of bending problems in the orthotropic plates. The analysis results are compared between the orthotropic thick plates and the orthotropic thin plates for the variations of thickness-width ratios.

In this study, it is presented analysis results of bending problems in the anisotropic thick shell and the anisotropic thin shell bending problems. In the numerical analysis of various mechanical problems involving complex partial differential equations, finite element method is used. Both Kirchoffs assumptions and Mindlin assumptions are used as the basic governing equations of bending problems in the anisotropic shells. The analysis results are compared between the anisotropic thick shells and the anisotropic thin shells for the various width-thickness ratios. The numerical method of this study will be contributed not only to analysis the bending behavior of anisotropic shells but also to design the anisotropic shells.
