Vibration of Composite Structures.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to review some of the recent contributions to the field of vibration of composite structures. The topics of fatigue and fracture, while quite important in the overall dynamic performance of composite structures, are not considered in this survey. The survey treats these topics: dynamic stiffness and damping of composite materials, beams and curved bars and rings, flat panels, and cylindrically curved panels and shells. It concludes with some suggestions for future research. It is well established that fiber-reinforced composite materials, by virtue of the geometry of the fibers acting stiffeners, behave macroscopically like homogeneous but anisotropic materials. The class of elastic symmetry depends upon the geometric arrangement of the fibers.
