The vibration of skew laminated composite plates with simply supported and clamped edges is studied. The skew plate is mapped into a unit square by linear transformation. Orthogonal polynomials are used with the Ritz method to determine the natural frequencies. The e!ects of skew angle and laminatio

β¦ Synopsis
Skew fibre reinforced composite laminates are important structural elements in modern engineering structures, particularly in the aerospace industry. The natural frequencies of these skew laminates are of primary significance to structural designers. As far as the author's knowledge is concerned, the references on this topic are very limited. In this paper a B-spline Rayleigh-Ritz method (RRM) is presented for free vibration analysis of thin skew fibre reinforced composite laminates which may have arbitrary lay-ups, admitting the possibility of coupling between in-plane and out-of-plane behaviour and general anisotropy. Various numerical applications are presented, and the method is shown to be accurate and efficient.

Free vibrations of a fully clamped symmetrically laminated skew plate are analyzed by a numerical approach in which the Green function for a static bending problem is used. As a numerical example, results are presented for a three-layered symmetrically laminated skew plate. The effects of the skew a
This paper is concerned with the free vibration of skew sandwich plates composed of an orthotropic core and laminated facings. The p-Ritz method has been adopted for the analysis. The Ritz functions are formed from the product of mathematically complete polynomials and boundary equations raised to a
