The increasing use of composite materials for plate-type structures intensified the need for solutions of orthotropic plates. One problem of interest is the clamped rectangular plate with reinforcing fibers parallel to the plate boundaries. There is no exact analytical solution for this problem. The purpose of this paper was to derive a closed-form approximate solution of high accuracy, even for...
