Analyses of Plates Constructed of Fiber-Reinforced Bimodulus Composite Materials.

Abstract

To implement the structural application of the recently introduced fiber-governed symmetric compliance model for bimodulus compostie materials, both classical closed-form and finite-element solutions are being developed. This paper summarizes the results obtained for deflection of single-layer orthotropic and two-layer, cross-ply plates of the following configurations and loadings: (1) Thin elliptic plates clamped on the boundary and subjected to uniform pressure. (2) Moderately thick rectangular plate freely supported on the boundary and subjected to sinusoidally distributed pressure. (Author)
