Abstract
This paper deals with the solution of modified-Duffing ordinary differential equation for large-amplitude vibration of imperfect angle-ply rectangular composite plates. The boundary condition is simply supported and in-plane movable. The initial condition for the vibration is an initial vibration amplitude. This vibration problem is solved numerically by Runge-Kutta method. The effect of plate imperfection is studied and proved that a typical backbone curve will show up in case of a relatively large imperfection. Three different composite materials are then chosen to reveal the influence of young’s modulus ratio. Four fiber volumes are assumed to study its effect on the vibration mode. It turns out that either increasing the fiber strength or increasing the fiber volume in a composite will lead to an increase of its overall strength. And this will further trigger the plate vibration to behave more nonlinearly.
