Flexural Vibrations of a Laminated Plate.
Abstract
The free vibrations of a layered plate are analyzed. The mechanical behavior of the layered medium is represented by a homogeneous, transversely isotropic continuum whose effective material constants are computed in terms of the material constants and the thicknesses of the layers. An asymptotic method is employed to compute the frequency of the lowest flexural mode as a power series of the dimensionless wavenumber. For a two-term expansion the analytical results are compared with experimental data and good agreement is found. (Author)
