Large deflection analysis of laminated composite plates is considered. The Galerkin method along with Newton-Raphson method is applied to large deflection analysis of laminated composite plates with various edge conditions. First order shear deformation theory and von Karman type nonlinearity are utilized and the governing differential eąuations are solved by choosing suitable polynomials as trial functions to ap-proximate the plate displacement functions. The solutions are compared to that of Chebyshev polynomials and finite elements. A very close agreement has been observed with these approximating methods. In the solution process, analytical computation has been done wherever it is possible, and analytical-numerical type approach has been madę for all problems.
