Abstract
Two displacement‐based higher‐order models are analysed. The in‐plane displacements are a cubic variation of the thickness coordinate for the first model. The other cubic model is simplified without second order term. In the beginning, comparisons are realised in exact solution cases. Then to improve the accuracy of the above process, computations of these two models are compared to the measures of laminated complex beam bending experiments.
