This paper is concerned with a theoretical treatment of thermal stress and bending behavior in a transient state of a multilayered, nonisotropic, laminated slab. As an analytical model, we consider an infinitely long, laminated slab, which consists of obliquely directed layers with orthotropic material properties; the model corresponds to the so-called angle-ply laminate. We solve the thermoelastic problem for the slab under the condition of uniformly distributed heat supply from its one surface. Introducing a method of Laplace transforms to the temperature field, we obtain the temperature solution using the residue theorem, and we evaluate the thermal stresses in a transient state by using the elementary plate theory. As an example, we carry out numerical calculations for the five-layered angle-ply laminate, evaluate the thermal stress distributions and the bending behavior, and examine the influence of the ply angle on the thermal stress distribution.
