A review on the vibration analysis of laminated composite plate

Abstract

Composites have played a vital role ranging in the marine structures to agriculutural products. Therefore, proper attention should be given before deploying of composite structures in the service and vibration is one of the most critical factor in the assessment of the structural properties. The purpose of this paper is to review the literature studies on the effect of vibration on composite structures. The literature studies have been focused on the vibration analysis of composite structures without considering the crack or delamination presence in the structure. Literature review is further classified on the basis of methodology i.e experimental, analytical and finite element methods. The work already conducted using these three methods have been discussed. It would be concluded that the vibration is a critical factor to focus.
