Based on Hellinger-Reissner principle, a hybrid multilayer element is presented in this article. This element can be used for analyzing thermoelastic stresses in composite laminates induced by nonuniform temperature distribution. The thermal loads are derived from the functional directly in the element model. Numerical results show that this multilayer element model is suitable for thermal stress analysis of laminated composite structures. 9 refs.
