Dynamics of Composite Materials.

Abstract

In this project attention has been focused on: (1) The accurate calculation of the dispersive properties of laminated and two- and three-dimensional fiber-reinforced elastic composites; (2) The accurate determination of natural frequencies of composite plates and beams, or plates and beams with variable dimensions or with inclusions; (3) Calculation of upper and lower bounds for the eigenfrequencies in (1) and (2); and (4) The assessment of the effect of fiber geometry on the dynamic properties of the fiber-reinforced composite.
