Flexure Equations of Motion for Laminated Composite Beams.

Abstract

With little actual effort and no recourse to new derivations, a flexural theory for laminated composite beams is obtained directly from a reduction of existing flexure equations for composite plates. Results previously developed for plate strips are shown to be directly applicable to beam problems if slight changes are made in the elastic constants. (Author-PL)
