TWO-LAYER PLATE BENDING WITH REINFORCING LAYER OF COMPOSITE MATERIAL
The article presents the results of the refined equations for the flexure of a two-layer slab, where one of the layers has a high shear stiffness, and the other, due to low stiffness of the shear, undergoes the transverse shear. The basis for equations of a slab bend is the classical model of direct normals for one of layers and a nonlinear kinematic model for a layer with low shear stiffness. The linear and nonlinear shear models for the layer with low stiffness shear are compared.
