An analytical method is devlopteded to analyze piezoelectric hybrid laminated composite plates with arbitrary lamination and boundary conditions subjected to electromechanical loads. The method is based on separation of spatial variables of displacement field components. Within the displacement field of a first-order shear deformation plate theory and using the principle of minimum total potential energy, two systems of coupled ordinary differential equations with constant coefficients are obtained. These equations may be solved analytically with the help of state-space approach. Also a Levy-type solution is employed for verification the validity and accuracy of the proposed method. It is seen that the present results have close agreements with those obtained by Levy-type method.
