Abstract: | In this paper, a laminated composite plate is analyzed using a multiscale method. At first, material properties of a lamina are obtained using an analytical micromechanical approach called simplified unit cell method (SUCM), and then in structural level, the generalized differential quadrature method (GDQM) is used to analyze a laminated composite plate. By means of the Boltzmann superposition principle, the viscoelastic behavior of the matrix is obtained. The Prony series is considered to define the compliance of matrix. To verify the results, graphiteT300/epoxy5208 composite material is analyzed and the results are compared with existing experimental data. The multiscale algorithm includes obtaining overall properties of the composite by SUCM; then, these properties are used to define the bending stiffness. Governing equations of motion of laminated composite plate are solved via GDQM and Newton–Raphson method. Variations of stresses and displacements versus time and volume fraction of the fibers are shown for laminated composite plates with different boundary conditions. |
