Free Vibration of Laminated Plates

نبذة عن كتاب Free Vibration of Laminated Plates

This paper addresses free vibration of laminated plates using finite element method with the intention of studying the
effects of certain parameters on the natural frequency. First – order shear deformation theory is employed in the
analysis. A computer program is written in matlab. The factors which were studied included lamination sequence,
material properties, aspect ratio, length/ thickness ratio, length/ width ratio, and boundary conditions. It is found that,
the length/ width ratio has the most serious effects on the natural frequency
