In a previous paper, a numerical approach for analyzing the free vibration problem of an unsymmetrically laminated fiber-reinforced plastic composite plate was proposed by the authors. In the present paper, this approach is applied to the clamped antisymmetrically laminated elliptical plate. As numerical examples, the natural frequencies and the mode shapes of the circular and elliptical plates are estimated. The effects of the fiber orientation angle on natural frequency and mode shape are studied. Furthermore, the vibration tests of the clamped antisymmetrically laminated circular and elliptical plates made of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic are carried out, and the experimental natural frequency and mode shape are compared with the numerical results.

In this paper the free vibration analysis of a fiber reinforced mindlin plate is presented.energy method based on the ritz method is used to obtain natural frequencies of the plate. Displacement fields of the plate are postulated by trigonometric series function. depending on the arrangement and orientation of the fibers, mindlin plate is assumed to be orthotropic or monoclinic.this analysis is useful to study the mechanical behavior of an angle ply lamina and effect of fiber orientation on the frequency response of the plate.the analysis can be extended for the laminates where the analytical solutions are not available. Finally the results are compared with those reported in the literature.

This paper presents the free vibration analysis of a composite laminated and sandwich square plate with circular cutout. The problem formulation is based on the higher order shear deformation plate theory HDST C0 coupled with a curved quadrilateral p-element. The elements of the stiffness and mass matrices are calculated analytically. The curved edges are accurately represented using the blending function method. A calculation program is developed to determine the fundamental frequencies for different physical and mechanical parameters such as the cutout size and location, plate thickness, fiber orientation angle and boundary conditions. The results obtained show a good agreement with the available solutions in the literature. New results for the fundamentals frequencies of composite laminated and sandwich plates with circular cutout are presented.

In this paper, free vibration analysis of magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) cylindrical composite panel reinforced by various distributions of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) considering open and closed circuits boundary conditions based on the first order shear deformation theory (FSDT) is carried out. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in Poly-vinylidene fluoride (PVDF) matrix are arranged and different distribution patterns of CNTs including uniform distribution (UD), FG-V, FG-A, FG-X and FG-O are employed. The Young’s and shear moduli are obtained using the extended mixture rule. Also, the material properties of magneto-electric fiber reinforced composite are estimated by mixture rule. By employing energy method and Hamilton’s principle, the equations of motion for cylindrical composite panel reinforced by CNTs are derived. In this paper, the effects of the volume fraction, various distributions of CNTs including uniform and functionally graded (FG) distributions, angle orientation, two elastic foundation parameters, aspect ratio (length-to-thickness ratio), radius-to-thickness ratio, and the multi-physical fields with open and closed circuits boundary conditions on the natural frequency of MEE cylindrical composite panel are considered. These effects play an important role on the natural frequencies. Moreover, the numerical results of this research can be used to manufacturing process design and optimization MEE cylindrical composite panel under multi-physical fields and the previous results can be used in order to prevent the resonance phenomenon.
