Recent Advances in Dynamics of Composite Structures

Non-Linear Vibrations of Shell-Type Structures: A Review With Bibliography

“…For advanced information on this subject, readers can refer the monograph by Leissa [6] for early works, or Oevy's paper [129] for directions for the design of orthotropic cylindrical shells. More recently, a literature review on the vibration of composite structures has been presented by Bert [130].…”

Effect of Low Velocity Impact Damage on Buckling Properties

“…Low velocity impacts which may occur during manufacture, maintenance and by careless handling [2] are considered to be dangerous for a composite structure because the damage caused tends to be created on the back face or within the laminate and hence is difficult to detect [3,4]. The dynamic response of composite structures subjected to transient dynamic loading has been studied in terms of analytical, numerical [5,6] and experimental works [7][8][9][10].…”

Effect of Low Velocity Impact Damage on Composite Plates

“…The fiber-reinforced composite plates as used in space vehicles, aircraft, modern vehicles and light weight structure are very susceptible to low velocity transverse impact damage such as matrix cracking, delamination and fiber breakage these damages imply significant reductions in the strength and stiffness of materials. Low velocity impacts which may occur during manufacture, maintenance and by careless handling are considered to be dangerous for a composite structure because the damage caused tends to be created on the back face or within the laminate and hence is difficult to detect [1][2][3][4][5][6].…”
