Abstract
The main aim of this study is to predict the elastic and damping properties of composite laminated plates. This problem has an exact elasticity solution for simple uniform bending and transverse loading conditions. This paper presents a new stress analysis method for the accurate determination of the detailed stress distributions in laminated plates subjected to cylindrical bending. Some approximate methods for the stress state predictions for laminated plates are presented here. The present method is adaptive and does not rely on strong assumptions about the model of the plate. The theoretical model described here incorporates deformations of each sheet of the lamina, which account for the effects of transverse shear deformation, transverse normal strain-stress and nonlinear variation of displacements with respect to the thickness coordinate. Predictions of the dynamic and damping values of laminated plates for various geometrical, mechanical and fastening properties are presented. Comparison with the Timoshenko beam theory is systematically made for analytical and approximation variants.
