Abstract
A rectangular anisotropic plate element suitable for stability
and vibration analysis of thin composite laminates is
presented. The formulation of the element is semi-analytical
and is based on the Transfer Matrix Method (TMM). The
suitability of the element is evaluated by its application on
certain stability and vibration problems of anisotropic plates.
Numerical results are presented and compared to results
obtained from analytical and Finite Element (FE) solutions.
The semi-analytical formulation of the proposed element
reflects on the accuracy of the results and on the reduction
of the number of degrees of Freedom required in the analysis
compared to FE method.
