Abstract
An efficient numerical algorithm for analyzing dynamic response of orthotropic viscoelastic composite laminates has been developed in the time domain. The integral form of the constitutive laws is exploited. Generalized Wiechert model is adopted to simulate the viscoelasticity of the structure Mindlin-Reissner plate theory is utilized in finite element formulation employing the consistent mass matrix. The proposed algorithm is incorporated in the framework of the finite element based on the displacement model. Newmark Constant average acceleration method is used for integration equation of motion. The developed recurrence formula permits the new time solutions to be evaluated using only previous time values. The developed solution technique is applied to orthotropic plate under two types of force, which are the step-pulse and sin-pulse force.
