TL;DR: A finite element formulation of the equations governing the laminated anisotropic plate theory of Yang, Norris and Stavsky, is presented in this article, which is a generalization of Mindlin's theory for isotropic plates to laminated aisotropic plates and includes shear deformation and rotary inertia effects.

TL;DR: In this article, a finite-difference formulation that gives accurate bending moments for thin elastic plates is presented, where the biharmonic equation is replaced with two deflection-normal bending moment relations and the equilibrium equation in terms of the moments.
