Abstract

A forced vibration analysis of laminated composite plates carrying a distributed patch mass is analyzed and presented in this paper. It deals with the determination of the transverse, dynamic response of rectangular composite plates subjected to a uniformly distributed P 0 e i ω ex t -type excitation. The Hamilton's Principle, using third-order shear deformation theory, is applied to simply supported rectangular plates. The displacement of the plate is postulated by a double Fourier series. The effects of size and location of the area of the patch, frequency ratio and mass ratio on the response of the plate are also presented. A thorough comparison with well-known published results is presented for the case of free vibration of unloaded plates and good agreement is observed.
