A First Modified Local Green’s Function Method Approach to Orthotropic Laminated Plates

  • Chapter
Computer Aided Design in Composite Material Technology III

Abstract

The applicability of the Modified Local Green’s Function Method (MLGFM) to orthotropic laminated plates is investigated. In this first attempt, the MLGFM, which has shown good results and convergence in other areas, is applied to one of the simplest single layer model for composite laminated plates, namely the FSDT, First Order Shear Deformation Theory, by using quadratic quadrilateral lagrangean domain elements and quadratic boundary elements. Some of the latest results which illustrate its accuracy are included.
