Abstract

The steady state response problem is solved for cantilevered rectangular plates made of symmetrically laminated FRP (fiber reinforced plastic) composites. The bending rigidities are obtained by using the thin-plate laminate theory, and the governing equation of motion for generally orthotropic plates is solved by the Ritz approach. In numerical study, driving point impedance is calculated for three types of FRP materials, and the effects of various parameters (material, number of layers, fiber orientation) upon the responses are discussed.
