Free Vibration Analysis of a Fiber Reinforced Mindlin Plate by Using Ritz Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper the free vibration analysis of a fiber reinforced mindlin plate is presented.energy method based on the ritz method is used to obtain natural frequencies of the plate. Displacement fields of the plate are postulated by trigonometric series function. depending on the arrangement and orientation of the fibers, mindlin plate is assumed to be orthotropic or monoclinic.this analysis is useful to study the mechanical behavior of an angle ply lamina and effect of fiber orientation on the frequency response of the plate.the analysis can be extended for the laminates where the analytical solutions are not available. Finally the results are compared with those reported in the literature.
