A dynamic Analysis of thin rectangular plates made of anisotropic materials is treated. The analysis is based on the assumptions of classical plate theory in which the anisotropic characteristics of the plate material are introduced. The static lateral load on the plate is replaced by D' Alembert inertia load. The free vibration of simply supported rectangular orthotropic plates is treated as numerical examples, the obtained results are compared with the three dimensional elasticity solution. To verify the theoretical analysis, an experimental study is done using 8 layers woven cross play fiber glass/epoxy rectangular plates.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
