On the Behavior of Plates Laminated of Bimodulus Composite Materials.
Abstract
An exact and finite-element analysis is used to predict the static bending and natural vibration response of rectangular plates laminated of composite material having different elastic properties depending upon whether the fiber-direction strains are tensile or compressive. The analysis is based on a theory that accounts for anisotropy, bending stretching coupling, thickness shear deformation, and both coupling inertia and rotatory inertia. The finite-element results are found to agree very closely with the exact closed-form solutions in the case of a cross-ply rectangular plate having simply supported edges and subjected to sinusoidally distributed normal-pressure loading or temperature loading.
