A STUDY OF THE EFFECTS OF KINEMATIC AND MATERIAL CHARACTERISTICS ON THE FUNDAMENTAL-FREQUENCY CALCULATIONS OF COMPOSITE PLATES uri icon

abstract

  • A compendium of results illustrating the effects of plate geometry, aspect ratio, support conditions and lamina stacking sequence on the natural fundamental frequency of fiber reinforced composite plates is presented. The plates are modelled by quadrilateral finite elements that account for the effects of transverse deformation and rotary inertia, thus overcoming the shortcomings of the Kirchhoff-Love assumptions. The results are in excellent agreement with the closed form solutions and other numerical results available in the literature. 1985, Academic Press Inc. (London) Limited. All rights reserved.
