AbstractA simple and efficient numerical technique for the buckling analysis of thin elastic plates of arbitrary shape is proposed. The approach is based upon the combination of the standard Finite Element Method with the constant deflection contour method. Several representative plate problems of irregular boundaries are treated and where possible, the obtained results are validated against corresponding results in the literature.

Damping property analysis of laminated composite structures have been done based on the complex stiffness method (CSM). In view of laminated plates with viscoelastic material cores, investigation is conducted using CSM and numerical methods of finite element method and spectral finite element method. Simulation results show that analytical solutions by CSM are in good agreement with the two kinds of numerical solutions. The proposed analytical method is well suited to calculate and optimize the damping property of laminated structures especially composites with constrained layer damping treatment.
