Abstract
The results presented in this study are obtained for a shape memory alloy ( SMA) fibre-reinforced multilayer composite plate made of graphite-epoxy com posite. The influence of SMA fibres upon natural frequencies of the plate i s investigated. The constitutive relations for a composite plate with embed ded SMA fibres are developed. Finite element governing equations and soluti on procedures for the SMA fibre-reinforced composite plate are also present ed. The results of numerical calculations show that the SMA fibres can grea tly influence in the natural frequencies of the plate. (C) 1999 Elsevier Sc ience B.V. All rights reserved.
