Forced Vibration Analysis of Laminated Composite Plates under the Action of a Moving Vehicle

This paper provides a finite element analysis of laminated composite plates under the action moving vehicle. The vehicle is modeled as rigid body with four suspension systems, each consisting spring-dashpot. Overall, possesses three degrees freedom: vertical, rolling, and pitching motions. equations motion plate are deduced based on first-order shear deformation theory. Using Euler-Lagrange equations, system coupled extracted solved by using Newmark time discretization scheme. algorithm validated through comparison both free forced vibration results provided present model exact or numerical reported in literature. effects investigated several parameters dynamic response.
