Natural frequencies and vibration modes of laminated composite plates reinforced with arbitrary curvilinear fiber shape paths
The development of tow-placement technology has made it possible to control fiber tows individually and place fibers in curvilinear distinct paths in each layer of a laminated plate. This paper presents an analytical method for determining natural frequencies and vibration modes of laminated plates having such curvilinear reinforcing fibers. Spline functions are employed to represent arbitrarily shaped fibers, and Ritz solutions are used to derive frequency equations using series type shape functions. The strain energy is evaluated by numerical integration involving the fiber orientation angle, and is calculated using the derivative of the spline function in minute intervals. The results show that the natural frequencies obtained by the present method agree well with results from finite element analyses. The vibration mode shape contour plots of the plates are seen to reflect clear influences of the fiber shapes.
