In this paper the authors propose some new kinds of isotropic laminates, made with identical anisotropic layers. In particular, these laminates satisfy some conditions which generalise the well-known Werren and Norris rules, in order to obtain fully isotropy, that is, isotropy of the three tensors A, B and D. To this purpose, the authors utilise some results found in a preceding research, namely the so-called quasi-trivial solutions. The way to form particular isotropic laminates that do not follow the Werren and Norris rule is also indicated. The paper ends with some numerical examples which illustrate the theoretical results found.
