Abstract

This article introduces a finite element approach for examining the static bending behavior of composite plates. The method considers the variable mechanical characteristics of plates and utilizes an elastic foundation with varying stiffness values. The plate's calculation expressions and equilibrium equations are derived using the new style shear deformation theory. The article uses a mesh composed of four-node rectangular components to solve the equilibrium equation. Each node in the mesh has six degrees of freedom. The solution's dependability and convergence are confirmed by comparing it with previously published findings. Based on this premise, the study presents numerical findings that examine how various geometric factors, materials, boundary conditions, and elastic foundations affect the static bending behavior of composite panels. This research is a great resource for engineers, providing excellent guidance for the design, production, and utilization of these structures in real-world applications.
