Non-linear dynamic analysis of a cross-ply laminated composite with fibre spacing plates under in-plane loading was presented. The mathematical formulation is based on first-order shear deformation theory and von-Karman non-linearity. Eight-node isoperimetric quadrilateral elements with five degrees of freedom per node were used to maintain geometric nonlinearity. In this investigation, a variety of fiber spacings and fibre orientations were used for the purpose of studying the effect of improvements on the behaviour of samples with this type of load. The dynamic equilibrium equations were solved using the Newmark integration technique. The non-linear dynamic analysis addressed several functions of changing fibre spacing with various changes in volume percentage and diverse fibre orientations. Fibre orientation, volume fraction fluctuation, and fibre distribution significantly affected laminated composite plates' non-linear dynamic behaviour. This study showed that the combination of improvements does not give a clear vision of the ideal improvement, and the best case for fibre distribution and the best case for layer rotation and combination should be studied to know the effect of the ameliorations one on the other and distinguish the impact of the transverse loading pattern in one direction on rotating the sample layers with axial load in one direction, so that changing the fibre distribution is more effective in the behaviour and stability of the plate by taking advantage of the orientation change, as demonstrated in this paper.

The target of this study is to reduce the impact of initial imperfection on the nonlinear dynamical performance of laminated composite plates by taking advantage of the orthotropic characteristics of laminated composite plates by changing carbon fiber sawing in the mass matrix and fiber orientation with different patterns and studying the effect of this optimization without and with initial imperfection (Wo) and different aspect ratios (W/L) and various boundary conditions through analyzing the load-displacement responses for plates under axial in-plane compressive loads by using the FORTRAN 94 programming language. Von-Karman's assumptions are utilized to include geometric nonlinearity for nine node isoperimetric quadrilateral components with five degrees of freedom into the structural model, which is based on first-order shear deformation theory. The Newmark’s implicit time integration method and Newton-Raphson iteration concurrently are employed to solve the nonlinear governing equation in conjunction. The study proved the effectiveness of the carbon fiber's varying geometric distribution and the difference in its directions in reducing the negative effects of the initial imperfection on the large elastic-plastic displacement and critical buckling. To highlight the veracity of the results, some of them have been validated against those found in the literature review. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-07-03 Full Text: PDF
