Abstract: A finite composite laminate weakened by multiple elliptical holes of arbitrarydistribution, arbitrary orientation and arbitrary dimension, is treated as an anisotropic,finite multiple connected thin plate. Using the complex potential method in planetheory of heat conduction and elastictiy of an anisotropic body, the analytical solutionof a finite composite laminated plate subjected io arbitrary mechanical and thermalloads with multiple elliptical holes is. obtained by means of the Faber series expansion,mapping and the least square boundary collocation technique. The effects of someparameters on the thermostress distribution are studied in detail. Some conclusions aredrawn.
