Abstract
We present a stiffness method for studying harmonic-wave propagation in periodically laminated composite media. Together with Floquet's theory, we use the continuity of displacement and traction at the laminae interfaces. Deformation is assumed to be plane strain. Both isotropic and anisotropic (fiber-reinforced) laminates are considered. For comparison with observation, we consider a laminated boron-aluminum composite.
