Comparative Study of Free Vibration of Anti-Symmetric Angle-Ply Laminated Plates

摘要

In this study free vibrations of anti-symmetric angle-ply composite plates including shear deformation under clamped-clamped boundary conditions are presented. Two types of numerical methods are adopted to analyze the problem. The spline and radial basis functions base mesh free scheme are applied simultaneously to approximate the displacement and rotational functions. Comparative studies have been made for analyzing the frequency parameters with respect to the material properties, number of layers, fiber orientations, side-to-thickness ratio and aspect ratio. The results are depicted in terms of tables and graphs.
