Effects of geometric imperfections on vibration of compressed shear deformable laminated composite curved panels

SummaryThe vibrational behavior of geometrically imperfect single and multilayered composite double-curved shallow panels subjected to a system of tangential compressive/tensile edge loads in the pre- and postbuckling ranges is investigated. The effects of transverse shear deformations, lamination, the character of in-plane boundary conditions, and of transverse normal stress are incorporated and their influence is emphasized.Numerical illustrations enabling one to compare the obtained results based on higher order and first order shell theories with their classical counterparts, based on the Love-Kirchhoff model are presented and conclusions related to their range of applicability are outlined.
