It allows to address a variety of thermal boundary conditions on the plate upper and lower surfaces. Minimal dimension reduction of the problem is pursued for symmetric cross-ply laminates. A numerical case study provides hints on the potential of the reduced model for the analysis of thermomechanical coupling effects on the system nonlinear dynamics.enthermomechanical modellinglaminated platesnonlinear dynamicsArticle
