Vibrations of straight and curved composite beams: A review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review most of the research done in recent years (1989-2012) on the vibration analysis of composite beams, with emphasis given to the theory being applied (thin, thick, layerwise), methods for solving equations (finite element analysis, differential transform and others) experimental methods, smart beams (piezoelectric or shape memory), complicating effects in both material and structure, and other areas that have been considered in research.

Dynamic finite element method for generally laminated composite beams
TL;DR: In this paper, a dynamic finite element method for free vibration analysis of generally laminated composite beams is introduced on the basis of first-order shear deformation theory, where the influences of Poisson effect, couplings among extensional, bending and torsional deformations, shear deformations and rotary inertia are incorporated in the formulation.

The effects of fibre orientation on free vibrations of composite beams
K.K. Teh,C.C. Huang +1 more
TL;DR: The torsion-flexure coupling effect of generally orthotropic beams is dependent on reinforcing fibre orientation and mode order as discussed by the authors, which is principally contributed by the twisting moment induced by bending.
