In order to analyze the vibration response of delaminated composite plates of moderate thickness, a FEM model based on a simple higher-order plate theory, which can satisfy the zero transverse shear strain condition on the top and bottom surfaces of plates, has been proposed in this paper. To set up
This paper presents a new 4-node ΓΏnite-element for the analysis of laminated composite plates. The element is based on a ΓΏrst-order shear deformation theory and is obtained through a mixed-enhanced approach. In fact, the adopted variational formulation includes as variables the transverse shear as w
