Abstract

This analysis presents the vibration and Harmonic analysis of orthotropic laminated composite plate. The response of plate is determined using Finite Element Method. Laminate composites are increasing used in various mechanical structures and industrial applications, due to their higher stiffness and higher strength to weight ratio. The model has been developed and analyzed in ANSYS parametric design language code. In this analysis shell elements (SHELL8Node281) have been chosen to evaluate the elemental equations. Initially the model response for orthotropic plate and harmonic response for isotropic plate is verified with the available literature. The results are in good agreement with the available literature. Numerical results for the natural frequency and harmonic response amplitude are presented. Effects of boundary conditions, thickness to width ratio and number of layers on natural frequency and harmonic response of the orthographic plates are also investigated. The natural frequency, mode shape and harmonic analysis of laminated composite plate has been determined using finite element package ANSYS.
