The Low Velocity Impact Behaviour of Glass-Polymer Laminated Plates

vibration analysis of laminated composite plates carrying rotating circular mass

in this paper, the free vibration response of a laminated composite rectangularplate supporting a rotating circular patch mass is studied. the two variable refined platetheory that employs only two unknown functions as against three in the case of simpleshear deformation theory is applied to define the third order displacement field of acomposite rectangular plate. the plate is considered to ha...

Sh-waves in Laminated Plates

A mathematical model for analyzing horizontally polarized shear surface (SH) waves propagating in laminated plates is presented. All the layers are assumed to have monoclinic symmetry. Three types of boundary conditions imposed on the outer surfaces of a plate are considered. A variant of the modified transfer matrix (MTM) method is developed. Closed form dispersion relations are obtained for p...

Delamination Buckling Inst ability Near a Circular Hole in Laminated Composite Plates

The motivation for the present study stems from the importance of delamination buckling as a viable mode of failure in laminated composite plates. This part of the study focuses on the prediction of the buckling loads and modes of unilaterally constrained rectangular plates. The laminated plates were modeled along the lines of classical lamination plate theory. Due to the out-of-plane thickness...

COLLAPSE BEHAVIOUR OF PLATES UNDER THRUST

In line with the current research on the ultimate strength assessment of ship hull girders, careful understanding of the collapse behaviour of unstiffened plate elements within the ship hull girders is an important and necessary task. In this paper, the collapse behaviour of unstiffened plates under longitudinal and transverse thrust is studied by elastoplastic large deflection FEM and the char...
