Summary
The subject of the contribution is an investigation of elastic composite plates with a microperiodic structure along the plate's midsurface. The computational models of the plates are largely based on the homogenization procedures leading to equations with constant coefficients. However, the homogenization theories neglect the microstructure length-scale effect on the plate's dynamic behaviour. The objective of this research is to formulate and investigate a refined theory of the composite plates under consideration, which would describe the microdynamic plate behaviour caused by the microstructure. The possible applications of the proposed theory are shown by an example.
