Abstract
The dynamic stability problem of the symmetrically laminated cross-ply plates made of the viscoelastic Voigt–Kelvin material, compressed by time-dependent stochastic membrane forces, is investigated. The effect of rotatory inertia is included in the present formulation. It is assumed that all elastic moduli have the same retardation times. By using the direct Liapunov method, bounds of the almost sure stability of cross-ply plates as a function of viscous damping coefficient, retardation time, variances of the stochastic forces, ratio of the principal lamina stiffnesses, number of layers, plate aspect ratio, cross-ply ratio and intensity of the deterministic components of axial loading are obtained. Numerical calculations are performed for the Gaussian process with a zero mean, as well as an harmonic process with random phase.
