Abstract
A new technique of normal mode analysis for laminated
panels is introduced using a strip hpe of element which
combines the classical and numerical approaches, taking
advantage of both methods. Much greater accuracy is
achieved compared to conventional finite element methods,
with substantially simplified numerical procedures. Closed
form solutions of isotropic plates with various edge
conditions and aspect ratios are compared with solutions of
the new method. With only four elements, excellent
agreement is obtained. The method is conceptually much
simpler than regular finite element methods while
maintaining almost the same level of accuracy as the
classical solutions, enabling an effective utilization by
practicing design engineers.
