Abstract

Laminated composite plates are often simply called laminates. In this chapter, linear equations of motion of laminates are derived and applied to vibration analysis. In general, laminates are multiple-layered and anisotropic, and thus, flexure and extension can be coupled in a laminate even in the linear case.
