Recent Advances in Analysis of Laminated Beams and Plates, Part II: Vibrations and Wave Propagation

A summary of the recent developments in the analysis of laminated beams and plates with an emphasis on vibrations and wave propagations in presented. First, a review of the recent studies on the free-vibration analysis of symmetrically laminated plates is given. These studies have been conducted for various geometric shapes and edge conditions. Both analytical (closed-form, Galerkin, Rayleigh-Ritz) and numerical methods have been used. Because of the importance of unsymmetrically laminated structural components in many applications, a detailed review of the various developments in the analysis of unsymmetrical ly laminated beams and plates also is given. A survey of the nonlinear vibrations of the perfect and geometrically laminated plates is presented next. It is seen that due to the bending-stretching coupling, the nonlinear behavior of the unsymmetrically laminated perfect and imperfect plates, depending upon the boundary conditions, may be hardening or softening type. Similar behavior also is observed for imperfect isotropic and laminated plates. Lastly, the developments in studying the wave propagation in laminated materials are reviewed. It is seen that a significant effort has been spent on developing appropriate continuum theories for modeling the composite materials. Some recent studies on the linear and nonlinear transient response of laminated materials also are described.
