Abstract—In this paper, the specific sound Transmission Loss (TL) of the Laminated Composite Plate (LCP) with different material properties in each layer is investigated. The numerical method to obtain the TL of the LCP is proposed by using elastic plate theory. The transfer matrix approach is novelty presented for computational efficiency in solving the numerous layers of dynamic stiffness mat...

— In this article, it is shown that the eigenvalues and eigenvector s o f the threedimensional linearized elasticity operator in a thin folded plate converge toward the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a limit 2d-2d model as the thickness o fthe plates tends to 0. The convergence o f the associated stresses is also established. Resumé. — On montre dans cet article que les valeurs propres et vect...

In this paper, we consider a scalar wave equation on a thin, laminated, threedimensional plate. We show that if the plate is sufficiently thin, then there is a hierarchy of two-dimensional equations whose dynamics model the dynamics of the full plate, each of which successively lengthens the time interval over which the approximation holds.

It is well known that for laminated composite plates a Levy-type solution exists only for cross-ply and antisymmetric angle-ply laminates. Numerous investigators have used the Levy method to solve the governing equations of various equivalent single-layer plate theories. It is the intension of the present study to introduce a method for analytical solutions of laminated composite plates with ar...

The generalized plane strain quasi-static thermoelastic deformations of laminated anisotropic thick plates are analyzed by using the Eshelby±Stroh formalism. The laminated plate consists of homogeneous laminae of arbitrary thicknesses. The three-dimensional equations of linear anisotropic thermoelasticity simpli®ed to the case of generalized plane strain deformations are exactly satis®ed at eve...

An advantage of functionally graded materials (FGMs) over laminated composites is that material properties vary continuously in an FGM but are discontinuous across adjoining layers in laminated composites. Furthermore, in an FGM material, properties can be graded in all three directions which is more difficult to achieve in laminated composites. FGMs have been used for structural optimization, ...

This paper deals with a numerical technique for the identi®cation of damage on laminated structures. The numerical model is based on a ®rst-order shear deformation ®nite element. When the structure undergoes some kind of damage, its sti€ness is reduced, changing the dynamic response. By considering the sensitivities of the orthogonality conditions of the mode shapes, an algorithm is formulated,...

In this paper, deformations of a laminated composite plate due to mechanical loads are presented. Third order shear deformation theory of plates, which is categorized in equivalent single layer theories, is used to derive linear dynamic equations of a rectangular multi-layered composite plate.
