Non-linear forced vibrations of variable stiffness plates on elastic supports

The effect of boundary conditions on the vibrations variable stiffness composite laminates (VSCL) with curvilinear fibers is particularly interesting because fiber orientations at plate edges and in plate’s domain can differ. Since real boundaries are not ideal limit cases usually assumed literature, a more correct model be achieved by representing as elastically restrained edges. This approach followed this work, which investigates combined orientation geometrically non-linear forced rectangular VSCL plates. adjusted using experimental data.
