Durvasula Department of Aerospace Engineering, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore 560012, India ABSTRACT Free vibration analysis is carried out to study the vibration characteristics of composite laminates using the modified shear deformation layered composite plate theory and employing the Rayleigh-Ritz energy approach. The analysis is presented in a unified form so as to incorporate all different combinations of laminate boundary conditions and with full coverage with regard to the various design parameters of a laminated plate. A parametric study is made using a beam characteristic function as the admissible function for the numerical calculations. The numerical results presented here are for an example case of fully clamped boundary conditions and are compared with previously published results. The effect of parameters such as the aspect ratio of plates ply-angle number of layers and also the thickness ratios of plies in laminates on the frequencies of the laminate is systematically studied. It is found that for anti-symmetric angle-ply or cross-ply laminates unique numerical values of the thickness ratios exist which improve the vibration characteristics of such laminates. Numerical values of the non- dimensional frequencies and nodal patterns using the thickness ratio distribution of the plies are then obtained for clamped laminates fabricated out of various commonly used composite materials and are presented in the form of the design curves.

5 RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS

The numerical results obtained from a set of laminates with various

lamination schemes and with clamped boundaries of the C1 type are

found to compare well with available results using the present analysis

Table 2). A numerical study of convergence in the example case of a four

layered cross-ply, rectangular, laminated GFRP) plate with boundaries

of type C1 is presented in Table 3. Convergence for frequency parameter

laminate with fibre orientat ions in each layer at either 0 ° or 90 ° i.e. a case

of a unidirect ional laminate) and is least for 0 = -+45 . This is eviden t as

the former laminates fall into the symmetric lay-up schemes with no

bending-twist ing couplings and thus have a higher stiffness, whereas , the

latter laminate cases possess less stiffness. The dip in the value of kl is

more fo r a highly anisotropic laminate such as Gr-FRP. Nodal patte rns of

the represen tative case of an anti-symmetric and symmetric laminates

mad e up of boro n/ep oxy are reported in Fig. 7.

6 CONCLUSION

A free vibration analysis for the calculation of natural frequencies of

rectan gula r laminates employing modified shear deformat ion theory and

using the Rayleigh-Ritz energy method is carried out. The analysis is

applicable to any possible type of combinations of in-plane and out-of-

plane boundary conditions by using the corresponding displacement

func tions, as approp riate. Results thus obtained for an example case of a

clamped laminate provide a source of comparison for assessment of such

results obtained using other solution techniques. Numerical results

Numerical values of these integrals, obviously, depend upon the

combination of boundary conditions under consideration. These

numerical values of the integrals of the more frequently occurring

products have been calculated for ready use in Refs 20 and 23. The tables

of integral values used in the present analysis for an example problem of a

rectangular laminate with clamped boundary of C1 type, are reproduced

from Ref. 20 for ready reference Tables A1-A6).
