The boundary-discontinuous double Fourier series-based solution methodology is used to solve the problem of higher-order shear deformation of cross-ply plates and doubly curved panels, which are characterized by a system of five highly coupled linear partial differential equations with mixed-type simply supported boundary conditions prescribed at all four their edges. The present solution is related to a number of unsolved boundary-value problems and can serve as a tool in particular for early design stages and for benchmark comparisons and verifications of numerical results. The analytical results obtained are compared with finite-element calculations, and a good agreement is found to exist between them.
