Abstract

In this paper, the multi-pulse chaotic dynamics of a simply-supported symmetric cross-ply composite laminated rectangular plate with the parametric and forcing excitations is investigated by using the extended Melnikov method. The two-degree-of-freedom non-autonomous nonlinear dynamical system of the plate with strong coupling is considered. The results obtained here indicate that multi-pulse chaotic motions can occur in the plate. Numerical simulation is also employed to find the multi-pulse chaotic motions of the plate based on the theoretical analysis.
