H. Katori et T. Nishimura, VIBRATION AND DYNAMIC STABILITY OF ANISOTROPIC PLATES - FREE-VIBRATION AND PANEL FLUTTER, JSME international journal. Series C, dynamics, control, robotics, design and manufacturing, 37(1), 1994, pp. 28-32
The finite element method is used to study the effects of rotating the
plate principal axes with respect to the geometric axes, orthotropici
ty parameter, E1/E2, and shear deformation on the vibration and flutte
r characteristics of anisotropic plates. The vibration and flutter of
anisotropic square plates, under a variety of boundary conditions, are
analyzed using the triangular finite element used in the previous pap
er. This element incorporates shear deformation according to Mindlin's
theory.
