Abstract: Weighted residual solutions are presented for thermal bending of laminated composite plates. The material of each layer is assumed to he elasticallv and thermoelastically orthotropic andbimodular. The formulations are based on the thermoclaxtic version of the theory of Whitney-Pagano laminated plate. which includes thickness shear deformations. The results are obtained for deflections and neutral-aurface positions and are found to be in good agreement with the closed-farm solution.

Key words: formal solution, Ehrestnann chain, projective limit
