TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of fibre orientation on the fundamental frequency of thin rectangular/square orthotropic plates was studied using a high precision triangular orthotropic finite element, which is useful in studying plates of arbitrary plan form and arbitrary fibre orientation.

TL;DR: In this article, a high-precision triangular orthotropic finite element is developed to study the stability aspects of orthotropic plates as a function of fibre orientation under arbitrary loading. But this element is not suitable for high-dimensional meshes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the stressed vibration behavior of orthotropic square/rectangular plates under arbitrary in-plane loading and arbitrary fiber directions was studied using an orthotropic high-precision triangular plate bending element.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the vibration transmission and power flow behavior of harmonically excited laminated composite plates attached with different inerter-based suppression configurations, and the substructure approach based on analytical and numerical methods was employed to obtain the steady-state dynamic response.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a general numerical method for vibration analysis of symmetrically laminated cantilever thin trapezoidal composite plates, using the Rayleigh-Ritz method along with displacements assumed in the form of 2-D orthogonal polynomials.

TL;DR: In this paper, free vibrations of rectangular unsymmetrically laminated composite plates with internal line supports in one or two directions are studied. And the Rayleigh-Ritz method is applied to arrive at the governing eigenfrequency equation in which the coupling effect of bending and stretching is contained.

TL;DR: In this paper, the flexural vibration of anisotropic plates with mixed discontinuous periphery boundaries is analyzed using a newly developed domain decomposition method, which is used in the analysis to derive the governing eigenvalue equation.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for minimum thickness multilayer rectangular composite laminates is presented which is based on a layerwise optimization procedure under natural frequency limitations, where all types of boundary conditions and their combinations can be taken into account.
