On the structural dynamics of laminated composite plates and sandwich structures; a new perspective on damping identification KU Leuven
This paper presents the modelling and the dynamic characterisation of laminated composite plates and sandwich structures in terms of stiffness and damping. The developments used in this paper are based on the analytical multilayer model of Guyader and Lesueur (JSV, 1978). The model considers linear shear, membrane and bending effects in each layer. The characteristics of the structure are determined by means of an equivalent thin plate ...
