the effect of a distributed patch mass on the natural frequency of vibration of a laminated rectangular plate with simply supported boundaries is investigated. the third order displacement field of a composite laminated rectangular plate is defined using the two variable refined plate theory. equations of motion of the plate are obtained with the help of calculus of variation. parametric study ...

Abstract Generalizing the first-order shear deformation plate theory (FOPT) proposed by Ambartsumyan (Theory of anisotropic plates, Nauka, Moscow, 1967 ( in Russian )) to heterogeneous laminated nanocomposite plates and nonlinear vibration problem is analytically solved taking into account an elastic medium this study for first time. The Pasternak-type foundation model (PT-EF) used as model. Af...

Delamination monitoring in carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminated plates is crucial to ensure the integrity and safety of the structures that accommodate the plates. To identify delaminations in CFRP laminated plates, the two-dimensional (2D) curvature mode shape method is a prevailing method that features instant and simultaneous determination of the presence and location of the dela...

ABSTRAC~ This paper deals witU a new 48-degrees-of-freedom rectangular finite element for analysing moderately thi(:k, multilayered composite plates. The formulation is based on a kinematics which allows one to exactly ensure the continuity <londitions for the displacements, and the t~ansverse str~sses at the interfaces between the layers of a laminated structure and zero s1lress conditiQns at ...

Three methods for the damage localization of impact damage in laminated composite plates, based on their vibrational characteristics, are presented in this paper. These methods use double pulse TV holography with acoustic excitation for mode shapes acquisition and the differences in translations, rotations and curvatures. The rotations and curvatures are obtained by numerical differentiation of...

the levy-type analytical solution is employed for the problem of bending of cross-ply and antisymmetric angle-ply piezoelectric hybrid laminated plates with at least two simply supported opposite edges. the governing equations of equilibrium are derived in the framework of the first-order shear deformation plate theory. the equations are classified according to the crystallography type of piezo...
