Abstract Dynamic stress analysis of laminated composites plates represents a relevant task in designing of aerospace, shipbuilding and automotive components where impulsive loads can lead to sudden structural failure. The mechanical complexity inherent to these kind of components makes the numerical modeling an essential engineering analysis tool. This work deals with dynamic analysis of stresses and deformations in laminated composites thick plates using a new Boundary Element Method formulation. Composite laminated plates were modeled using the Reissner’s plate theory. We propose a direct time-domain formulation based on elastostatic fundamental solution for symmetrical laminated thick plates. Formulation takes into account the rotational… More >
