Nonlinear oscillations of a simply-supported symmetric cross-ply composite laminated rectangular thin plate are investigated in this paper. The rectangular thin plate is subjected to the transversal and in-plane excitations. Based on the Reddy’s third-order shear deformation plate theory and the stress-strain relationship of the composite laminated plate, a two-degree-of-freedom non-autonomous nonlinear system governing equations of motions for the composite laminated rectangular thin plate is derived by using the Galerkin’s method. Numerical simulations illustrate that there exist complex nonlinear oscillations for composite laminated rectangular thin plate.
