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.
