Abstract
In this study, we will evaluate the effect of bending/torsion coupling on the buckling instability and free vibration behavior of symmetrical laminated plates. We will load these plates in-plane with bi-axial or uni-axial, uniform or non-uniform mechanical loads. To quantify this behavior, we’ll compare the results obtained with those of specially orthotropic symmetrical plates (where bending/torsion coupling is absent). A parametric study will be carried out by varying the plate’s aspect ratio, anisotropy ratio and/or lamination angle. The aim of these studies is to construct a planar loading margin for the plate while remaining elastically stable, and to determine a physically admissible limit where we can approximate the behavior of symmetrical laminates to that of specially orthotropic plates (easy to study). We will base ourselves on a Rayleigh-Ritz energy formulation of the problem because of the difficulty of finding closed-form solutions. Following validation of this formulation, a numerical survey of the results will be carried out to quantify the effect of bending/torsion coupling on the instability of this type of plate. Various conditions on the plate boundaries will be used.
