Abstract
A globally and locally reliable strain recovery based a-posteriori error estimator for laminated composite plates is proposed in this study. An extensive check of the local and global quality of the proposed error estimator is carried out for the bending problem. Effect of material orientation, ply stacking sequence, boundary condition and loading profile is carried out for a square plate. It is found that this estimator is reliable for almost all the cases, and even predicts errors for the preasymptotic range reliably.
