This work is concerned with the dynamic behavior of laminated beam, plate and shell structures consisting of a viscoelastic damping layer constrained between two structural layers. Finite element models for modal, harmonic and transient analyses are developed. The dynamic interlaminar shear stresses are determined and presented under harmonic and transient loads. The effect of the damping ratio of the viscoelastic material is investigated. It is found that the viscoelastic material damping reduces the interlaminar stresses. The results also show the dependency of the viscoelastic material on frequency, hence, the effect of the viscoelastic material appears significantly under harmonic loading. In transient analysis, the importance of the viscoelastic material is observed in absorbing the impact and returning the structure to its original configuration.

Continuous structures such as beams, rods and plates can be modelled by discrete mass and stiffness parameters and analysed as multi-degree-of-freedom systems. The analysis of structural vibration is necessary to obtain the natural frequencies of a structure and the response to the external excitation. In this way, it can be determined whether a particular structure will fulfil its intended function and, in addition, the results of the dynamic loadings acting on a structure can be predicted. The lack of a sober analytical research about the vibrational behaviour of the 5-MW wind turbine blade pushed us to investigate about this crucial issue, however, most of the discreet researches are concerned with the aerodynamic effects rather than structural analysis. In this article, Rayleigh–Ritz method was implemented for a typical 5-MW wind turbine blade. MATLAB codes were developed and natural frequencies were obtained for both flapwise and edgewise vibrational behaviour. A good agreement was observed between the analytical results and the manufacturer results.
It has been demonstrated that vibratory impact mineral loading results in the formation of solid solutions. A technique to determine concentration dependence of inversion degree of solid binary solutions according to the known values of their components activity has been proposed. Values of thermodynamic functions of the solutions mixing in terms of statistic formulas as well as by means of immediate processing of the experiment have been determined.
