Effect of shear deformation on vibration of antisymmetric angle-ply laminated rectangular plates

The title problem is solved in closed form for the case of all edges simply supported. A displacement formulation of the heterogeneous shear-deformable plate theory originated by Yang, Norris and Stavsky is used.

Summary:The title problem is solved in closed form for the case of all edges simply supported. A displacement formulation of the heterogeneous shear-deformable plate theory originated by Yang, Norris and Stavsky is used. Material properties typical of a highly directional composite material (high-modulus graphite/epoxy) are used and numerical results are presented showing the parametric effects of aspect ratio, length/thickness ratio, number of layers, and lamination angle. The effects of deleting rotatory inertia and in-plane inertia, singly and in combination, were also investigated. The information presented should be useful to composite-structure designers, to researchers seeking to obtain better correlation between theory and experiment, and to numerical analysts in checking out finite-element programs.
