β¦ Synopsis
A general analytical model applicable to flexural-torsional coupled vibration of thin-walled composite box beams with arbitrary lay-ups under a constant axial force has been presented. This model is based on the classical lamination theory and accounts for all the structural coupling coming from the material anisotropy. Equations of motion are derived from the Hamilton's principle. A displacement-based onedimensional finite element model is developed to solve the problem. Numerical results are obtained for thin-walled composite box beams to investigate the effects of axial force, fiber orientation and modulus ratio on the natural frequencies, load-frequency interaction curves and corresponding vibration mode shapes.

This paper focuses on the formulation of the dynamic problem of laminated composite thick- and thin-walled, single-cell beams of arbitrary cross-section and on the investigation of their associated free vibration behavior. The structural model considered herein incorporates a number of non-classical
