Due to the lack of the mathematical analytical tools, analytical studies on the mechanical response of composite plate and shell were difficult to be performed. A new type complex series method （NCSM）for solving the boundary value or eigenvalue problem of a system of partial deferential equations with constant coefficients is presented. The underdetermined functions of the governing equations are assumed in the complex series form.Substitution of the complex series into a system of the governing

In the book,NCSM is applied to analyze the bending/vibration/buckling problems of rectangular, skew and circular laminated plate with symmetric and skew-sym-metric angle-ply using Classical Plate theory （CPT） and these analytical solutions are presented. General analytical solutions for the bending/vibration/buckling problems of rectangular/skew anisotropic plate using first-order shear deformation theory （FSDT） by NCSM are presented in the book.
