Abstract The applications of fiber-composite laminate materials to aerospace industrial such as spacecraft, high-speed aircraft, missile and satellite have increased rapidly in recent years. The most major components of the aerospace structures are frequently made of curved panels and subjected to various kinds of compressive forces. Therefore, knowledge of the dynamic characteristics of composite laminated curved panels in compression, such as their fundamental natural frequency, is essential. The fundamental natural frequency of composite laminated curved panels highly depends on the ply orientation, end conditions, geometries (i.e., aspect ratio and curvature) and compressive force. Therefore, proper selection… More >
