In this paper, we analyze the dynamics of piezothemoelastic laminate considering the effect of transverse shear. The analytical model is a rectangular laminate composed of fiber-reinforced laminates and piezoelectric layers. The model is assumed to be anti-symmetric angle-ply laminate with all edges simply supported. The behavior of the laminates is analyzed based on the first-order shear deformation theory. Closed solution of the deflection due to loads varying arbitarily with time are obtained.
