Nn. Huang, EXACT ANALYSIS FOR 3-DIMENSIONAL FREE-VIBRATIONS OF CROSS-PLY CYLINDRICAL AND DOUBLY-CURVED LAMINATES, Acta mechanica, 108(1-4), 1995, pp. 23-34
The free vibrations of simply-supported cross-ply cylindrical and doub
ly-curved laminates are investigated. The three-dimensional equations
of motion, expressed in terms of displacements, are reduced to a syste
m of coupled ordinary differential equations, which are then solved us
ing the power series method. Numerical results are presented for cylin
drical, spherical and saddle-shape laminates having a various number o
f layers.
