Abstract: A summary of the recent developments in the analysis of laminated beams and plates with an emphasis on vibrations and wave propagations in presented. First, a review of the recent studies on the free-vibration analysis of symmetrically laminated plates is given. These studies have been conducted for various geometric shapes and edge conditions. Both analytical (closed-form, Galerkin, Rayleigh-Ritz) and numerical methods have been used. Because of the importance of unsymmetrically laminated structural components in many applications, a detailed review of the various developments in the analysis of unsymmetrical ly laminated beams and plates also is given. A survey of the nonlinear vibrations of the perfect and geometrically laminated plates is presented next. It is seen that due to the bending-stretching coupling, the nonlinear behavior of the unsymmetrically laminated perfect and imperfect plates, depending upon the boundary conditions, may be hardening or softening type. Similar behavior also is observed for imperfect isotropic and laminated plates. Lastly, the developments in studying the wave propagation in laminated materials are reviewed. It is seen that a significant effort has been spent on developing appropriate continuum theories for modeling the composite materials. Some recent studies on the linear and nonlinear transient response of laminated materials also are described.

TL;DR: In this paper, a finite element formulation for large amplitude free oscillations of beams and orthotropic circular plates is presented, which does not need the knowledge of longitudinal/inplane forces developed due to large displacements and thus avoids the use of corresponding geometric stiffness matrices.

TL;DR: In this article, simplified equations for the deflection of uniformly loaded circular and rectangular plates with various boundary conditions are derived and compared with available numerical solutions of the exact equations, and the deflections found by this approach are then used to obtain the stresses, and resulting stresses are compared with existing solutions.
Abstract: As a result of the assumption that the strain energy due to the second invariant of the middle surface strains can be neglected when deriving the differential equations for a flat plate with large deflections, simplified equations are derived that can be solved readily. Computations using the solution of these simplified equations are carried out for the deflection of uniformly loaded circular and rectangular plates with various boundary conditions. Comparisons are made with available numerical solutions of the exact equations. The deflections found by this approach are then used to obtain the stresses, and the resulting stresses are compared with existing solutions. In all the cases where comparisons could be made, the deflections and stresses agree with the exact solutions within the accuracy required for engineering purposes.
