Abstract: This paper deals with the nonlinear vibrations of composite laminated plates using the generalized formulation of which the von Karman-type formulation is a special case. The two-dimensional plate ...

Abstract: In this paper the nonlinear vibration of composite plates has been presented. Usually in the nonlinear analysis of plates, the von Karman‐type formulation is followed because it is possible to obtain the complete solution ...

Abstract: The finite element analysis of an orthogonally stiffened annular sector plate is presented by combining the annular sector plate element and the curved beam element. The plate and the curved beam elements are the isoparametric ...

Abstract: The free‐vibration analysis of a column‐supported cooling tower with ring stiffeners has been undertaken using the finite element method. The tower has been modeled using anisoparametric quadrilateral shell of revolution ...
