In this paper we use a trigonometric layerwise deformation theory for modelling symmetric composite plates. We use a meshless discretization method based on global multiquadric radial basis functions. The results obtained are compared with solutions derived from other models and numerical techniques. The results show that the use of trigonometric layerwise deformation theory discretized with multiquadrics provides very good solutions for composite plates and excellent solutions for sandwich plates.
