In this paper, natural frequencies of laminated composite plates were studied. The layerwise finite element model is imposed to determine the natural frequencies of laminated composite plates. The effects of panel orientation angle, elastic modulus ratio and width-depth ratio on the natural frequencies of the laminated composite are then discussed. With an example of a sixteen-laying laminated plate, the numerical simulations show that the factor of key structural parameters to the natural frequencies of the laminated composite plate is panel orientation angle and width-depth ratio.

In this paper, the acoustic radiation mode’s amplitudes of laminated composite plates are studied. The layer wise finite element model is imposed to determine velocity distributions of laminated composite plates. Based on the acoustic radiation mode, the effects of the panel orientation angle on the first three orders acoustic radiation mode’s amplitude of the laminated composite plates are then discussed. A twelve-layer laminated plate was used as an example, and the numerical simulations results show that the effects of the panel orientation angle on the acoustic radiation amplitude of the laminated composite plates are significant.

Optimization of fiber orientation angle is studied to minimize the deflection of the laminated composite plates by the genetic algorithm. The objective function of optimization problem is the minimum deflection of laminated composite plates under the external load; optimization parameters are fiber orientation angle of laminated composite plates. The results for the optimal fiber orientation angle and the minimum deflection of the 4-layer plates are presented to demonstrate the validity of present method.

Sinusoidal shear deformation theory is presented to analyze the natural frequencies of simply supported laminated composite plates. The governing differential equations based on sinusoidal theory are solved by a Navier-type analytical method. The present results are compared with the available published results which verify the accuracy of sinusoidal theory.

The delamination is one of the major modes of failure occurring in the laminated composite due to insufficient bonding between the layers. In this paper, the natural frequencies of delaminated S-glass and E-glass epoxy cantilever composite plates are presented by employing the finite element method (FEM) approach. The rotary inertia and transverse shear deformation are considered in the present study. The effect of parameters such as the location of delamination along the length, across the thickness, the percentage of delamination, and ply-orientation angle on first three natural frequencies of the cantilever plates are presented for S-glass and E-glass epoxy composites. The standard eigenvalue problem is solved to obtain the natural frequencies and corresponding mode shapes. First three mode shape of S-Glass and E-Glass epoxy laminated composites are portrayed corresponding to different ply angle of lamina.

This paper proposes an optimization procedure for maximization of the biaxial buckling load of laminated composite plates using the gradient-based interior-point optimization algorithm. The fiber orientation angle and the thickness of each lamina are considered as continuous design variables of the problem. The effect of the number of layers, fiber orientation angles, thickness and length to thickness ratios on the buckling load of the laminated composite plates under biaxial compression is investigated. The effectiveness of the optimization procedure in this study is compared with previous works.

In this study, the free vibration of laminated composite plates with and without stiffeners subjected to axial loads is carried out using finite element method. The plates are stiffened by laminated composite strip and Timoshenko beam. The plates and the strips are modeled with rectangular 9 noded isoparametric quadratic elements with three degrees of freedom per node and the Timoshenko beam is modeled with linear 2 noded isoparametric quadratic elements with 2 degrees of freedom per node. The effects of both shear deformation and rotary inertia are implemented in the modeling of plate and stiffener. The governing differential equations are obtained in terms of the mid-plane displacement components and shear rotations using Hamilton’s principle. The effects of axial tension and compression loads and stiffeners on the natural frequencies of the plate are investigated. Results indicate the tension loads and stiffeners will increase the natural frequencies while the compression loads reduce the natural frequencies. The buckling force of plate is computed by increasing the absolute value of compressive force until the first natural frequency tends to zero. Results of simple cases are compared with finding in the literature and a good agreement was achieved.

Natural frequencies of simply supported laminated composite plates are calculated by the meshless global collocation method based on Gaussian radial basis function. The accuracy of meshless global radial basis function collocation method depends on the choice of shape parameter of radial basis function. In present paper, the shape parameter of Gaussian radial basis function is optimized using the genetic algorithm. Gaussian radial basis function with optimal shape parameter is utilized to analyze the natural frequencies of simply supported laminated composite plates. The present results are compared with the results of available literatures which verify the accuracy of present method.
