Refined plate theories, which include layer-wise, equivalent single layer and zig-zag models, with increasing number of displacement variables are take into account. Linear up to fourth N-order expansion, in the thickness layer-plate direction have been implemented for the introduced displacement field. Rayleigh-Ritz method based on principle of virtual displacement is derived in the framework of Carrera’s unified formulation. Regular symmetric angle-ply and cross-ply laminates are addressed. Convergence studies are made in order to demonstrate that accurate results are obtained by using a set of trigonometric functions. The effects of the various parameters (material, number of layers, and fiber orientation) upon the frequencies and mode shapes are discussed. Numerical results are compared with available results in literature. [DOI: 10.1115/1.4004680] Introduction Structures composed of composite materials offer lower weight, higher stiffness and strength then those composed of most metallic materials. That coupled with advances in manufacturing of composite materials and structures, giving them a competitive edge when compared with normal engineering materials and lead to their extensive use. Composite plates and shells components now constitute a large percentage of aerospace and submarine structures. They are increasingly used in areas like automotive engineering, and other applications. The use of the laminated composite plate in many engineering applications has been expanding rapidly in the past three decades. This resulted in considerably more research and interest in their dynamic behavior. Indeed, a monograph by Leissa [1] that reviewed plate vibration researched up to that point and included about 1000 references, listed only a few articles that touched composite plates. The first accurate treatment of plates can be attributed to Germain [2] and Lagrange [3] early in the 19th century. A good historical review of the development can be referred to in the books of Soedel [4] and Timoshenko [5]. This theory is now referred to as the classical plate theory (CPT). It uses the pure bending concept of plates in the development of the equations, where normals to the middle surface remain straight and normal. It is valid for a small deformation of thin plates. The inclusion of shear deformation in the fundamental equations of plates is due to Reissner [6] and Mindlin [7]. Theories that account for shear deformation are now referred to as thick plate theories or shear deformation plate theories (SDPT). Hearmon [8] presented what could be the first study on composite plates. Among the first to work on composite plates was Smith [9]. A consistent theory for symmetrically laminated plates was presented by Reissner and Stavski [10]. There is evidence data that some Russian scientists may indeed have considered the problem earlier. Ambartsumian [11] and Lekhnitskii [12] probably published the first book in the area of composite plates and shells. Nevertheless, the original contribution by Lekhniskii has been 1 Corresponding author.

Journal of Vibration and Acoustics almost ignored in the subsequent literature, even though the first method able to describe the zig-zag effect and interlaminar continuous transverse stresses was provided by Lekhniskii in Ref. [13]. On the contrary, the works of Ren [14] and [15], were taken into account. In two papers Ren has, in fact, extended Lekhnitskii’s theory to orthotropic and anisotropic plates. A further pioneering analysis was presented by Yu [16], where in plane zig-zag effect and transverse shear were both fulfilled in correspondence to the two interfaces of sandwich plate. Ashton and Whitney [17] presented fundamental equations of laminated plates. Vinson and Sierakowski [18] presented analysis of composite beams, plates, and shells, while Whitney [19] presented various structural analyses; including free vibration of laminated anisotropic plate, and in Ref. [20] applied an extended Abartasumian theory to generally anisotropic and symmetrical and nonsymmetrical plates. The subject was also picked up by Mohan and Kingsbury [21], as well as Noor [22] among the many researchers in the field. In addition to the previous articles and books, more recent literature on composite plate vibrations research, such as Qatu [23–28], and Leissa and Narita [29], and can be found in various conference proceedings and journals. A complete historical review of so called zig-zag theories for laminated structures has been provided by Carrera in Ref. [30]. During the last two decades, a variable kinematics 2D models approach with hierarchical capabilities, for composite laminated plates and shells, presented in many papers has been widely developed by Carrera. The primary work contribution is provided in Ref. [31], where a generalization, proposing a systematic use of reissner mixed variational theorem (RMVT) [32] as a tool to furnish a class of two dimensional theories for multilayered plates analysis was presented. Attention was focused on approximated solution techniques, and the resulting governing equation was written as a system of algebraic equations. A weak form of Hook’s law was also introduced into this work to reduce the mixed cases to the displacement ones. Further details above hierarchical theories was provided in Ref. [33], where an overview of finite elements, that have been developed for multilayered, anisotropic composite plates and shells, and [34] where assessment and benchmarking were performed in order to validate the 2D hierarchical models developed is also available. Application of what is reported in Refs. [31] and [35] to derive governing equation in strong forms have been given in several other papers [36–42], C 2011 by ASME Copyright V DECEMBER 2011, Vol. 133 / 061017-1 Downloaded From: http://vibrationacoustics.asmedigitalcollection.asme.org/ on 05/28/2014 Terms of Use: http://asme.org/terms both Navier-type close form and Finite element solutions were given. Finite element formulation was also extensively developed in Refs. [43,44], where different loadings, as well as boundary conditions, were treated. The variable kinematics modeling technique based on Carrera’s unified formulation (CUF) offers a systematic procedure to obtain refined structural models by considering the order of the theory as a free parameter of the formulation. In the framework of those axiomatic approaches which can be developed on the basis of variational statements, CUF attention has been restricted to principle of virtual displacement (PVD) and RMVT applications (see Ref. [45]). The accuracy of CUF has been successfully demonstrated to range from classical 2D models to quasi-3D descriptions for buckling, bending and free-vibration analyses. Carrera’s unified formulation applications have been restricted to closed form ‘exact’ solutions of Navier-type, and Finite element solutions. Closed form solutions are restricted to simple geometries, simply supported boundary conditions and orthotropic behavior, while FE solutions are difficult to obtain for those cases in which higher modes and/or wave propagation description is required. The use of CUF in conjunction to other approximated solution technique would be therefore of interest for a more complete description of vibration response of laminated plates. Some attempt has been recently made by Ferreira, who have applied Radial Basis methods [46] by CUF, and R.J. Banerjee and M. Boscolo have employed dynamic stiffness method (DSM) [47]. On that line in this paper, for the first time, Rayleigh-Ritz formulation has been embedded in the framework of CUF in order to perform freevibration analysis of anisotropic, simply supported laminated plates. By virtue of this procedure, it has been possible overcome the limits which are typical in finite element method (FEM), as far as dynamic analysis at high frequencies is concerned. Indeed in a more general case the accuracy of FEM is very low, for a given number of degrees of freedom, because each basis function is a polynomial of low degree. On the contrary, the present methodology use global basis functions such as polynomials (or trigono- Fig. 1 061017-2 / Vol. 133, DECEMBER 2011 metric functions) of high degree which are nonzero, except at isolated points, over the entire computational domain. When fast iterative matrix solvers are used, the present methodology can be much more efficient than FEM. Plate geometry and notation for displacements, stresses and strains as well as Hooke’s law are shown in Sec. 2. The variable kinematics modeling technique based on CUF is briefly recalled in Sec. 3. The proposed Rayleigh-Ritz approximation method is widely described in Sec. 4. The basis functions chosen, and an example of the surface integrals, performed analytically, that appear in the Rayleigh-Ritz formulation are highlighted in Sec. 4.1, whereas all the surface integrals are illustrated in the Appendix. Finally, an assessment of the proposed models of simply-supported laminated plates is carried out in Sec. 5, where the effects of the various parameters (material, number of layers, fiber orientation) upon the frequencies and mode shapes are discussed. 2 Preliminaries The salient features of Plate geometry are shown in Fig. 1. A laminated plate composed of Nl layers is considered. The integer k, used as superscript or subscript, denotes the layer number which starts from the plate bottom. The layer geometry is denoted by the same symbols as those used for the whole multilayered plate and vice versa. With x and y the plate middle surface Xk coordinates are indicated. Ck is the layer boundary on Xk . z and zk are the plate and layer thickness coordinates; h and hk denote the plate and layer thicknesses, respectively. fk ¼ 2zk =hk is the nondimensioned local plate-coordinate; Ak denotes the k-layer thickness domain. Symbols that are not affected by the k subscript/superscripts refer to the whole plate. The notation for the displacement vector is: uðx; y; zÞ ¼ uy ux uz T (1) Superscript T represents the transposition operator. The stress, r, and the strain, e, are grouped as it follows: Multilayered plate Transactions of the ASME Downloaded From: http://vibrationacoustics.asmedigitalcollection.asme.org/ on 05/28/2014 Terms of Use: http://asme.org/terms rp ¼ rxx rn ¼ rxz T ryy rxy ; T ryz rzz ; ep ¼ exx en ¼ exz T eyy exy T eyz ezz (2) The subscripts n and p denote transverse (out-of-plane, normal) and in-plane values, respectively. In case of small displacements with respect to in plan dimension, the strain-displacement relations are: ep ¼ Dp u en ¼ Dn u ¼ ðDnX þ Dnz Þu (3) where Dp , DnX and Dnz are differential matrix operators: 2@ 3 2 3 2@ 3 @ 0 0 @x @x 0 0 @z 0 0 6 0 @ 07 @ 5; D ¼ 4 0 @ 0 5 (4) Dp ¼ 4 5; DnX ¼ 4 0 0 @y nz @y @z @ @ @ 0 0 @z 0 0 0 0 @y @x erence surface X. Linear and higher order distributions in the z-direction are introduced by the r-polynomials (see Fig. 2). The assumed models can be written with the same notations that will be adopted for the layer-wise model Eq. (9) is therefore rewritten as u ¼ Ft ut þ Fb ub þ Fr ur ¼ Fs us s ¼ t; b; r r ¼ 1; 2; 3; ; N 1 (10) Subscript b denotes values related to the plate reference surface X (ub ¼ u0 ) while subscript t refers to the highest term (ut ¼ uN ). The Fs functions assume the following explicit form: Fb ¼ 1; Ft ¼ zN ; Fr ¼ zr ; r ¼ 2; 3; ; N 1 (11) Classical models violate interlaminar equilibrium of the transverse stresses. Further, they do not describe zigzag form of the displacement field in plate thickness direction. In the case of orthotropic materials, Hooke’s law holds: r ¼ Ce (5) According to Eq. (2), the previous equation becomes: rp ¼ C~pp ep þ C~pn en rn ¼ C~np ep þ C~nn en where matrices C~pp , C~nn , C~pn and C~np are: 2 3 2 C~11 C~12 C~16 C~56 6 7 6 C~pp ¼ 4 C~12 C~11 C~26 5; C~nn ¼ 4 C~45 0 C~16 C~26 C~66 2 3 0 0 C~13 6 7 C~pn ¼ C~Tpp ¼ 4 0 0 C~23 5 (6) C~45 C~45 0 3 0 7 0 5; C~33 (7) 0 0 C~36 Refined Plate Theories In the framework of Carrera unified formulation (CUF), the displacement field is assumed as: u ¼ Fs us ; u ¼ u0 þ ð1Þk fk uZ þ zr ur ; s ¼ 1; 2; ::::; N (8) r ¼ 1; 2; ; N (12) Subscript Z refers to the introduced zigzag term. Note that the unknown function u0 , uZ , ur , are k-independent. The geometrical meaning of the zig-zag function is explained in Fig. 3. In the Murakami’s function MðzÞ ¼ ð1Þk fk the exponent k changes the sign of the zig-zag term in each layer. Such an artifice permits one to reproduce the discontinuity of the first derivate of the displacement variables in the z-direction which physically comes from the intrinsic transverse anisotropy of multilayer structures. With unified notations Eq. (12) becomes, u ¼ Ft ut þ Fb ub þ Fr ur ¼ Fs us For the sake of conciseness, the dependence of the coefficients C~ij versus Young’s moduli, Poisson’s ratio, the shear moduli, and the fiber angle is not reported. It can be found in Tsai [48], Reddy [49] or Jones [50]. 3 3.2 Zig-Zag Models. The expansion given in Eq. (9) does not permit the description of the zig-zag effects. Such a limitation could somehow be overcome by referring to Murakami’s idea. Murakami [51] proposed adding a zig-zag function to Eq. (9), s ¼ t; b; r r ¼ 1; 2; 3; ; N (13) Subscript t refers to the introduced zigzag term (ut ¼ uN ; Fs ¼ ð1Þk fk ). It should be noticed that Fs assumes the values 61 in correspondence to the bottom and the top interface of the k-layer (see Fig. 3). A comprehensive documentation can be found in Refs. [30,52,53]. 3.3 Layer-Wise. By assuming the expansion in Eq. (9) in each layer, layer-wise description is obtained. Nevertheless, Taylor-type expansion of Eq. (9) is not convenient for a layerwise description. In fact, the fulfillment of continuity requirements where FT are functions of the coordinates z in the thickness layerplate direction. uT is the displacement vector and N stands for the number of terms of the expansion. According to Einstein’s notation, the repeated subscript s indicates summation. The maximum expansion order, N, is supposed to be 4. A thorough description of the refined model used can be found in Ref. [34]. 3.1 Classical Equivalent Single Layer Models. Firstly, classical models are considered. As usual, the displacement variables are expressed in Taylor series in terms of unknown variables which are defined on the plate reference surface X. u ¼ u0 þ zr ur ; r ¼ 1; 2; ; N (9) N is a free parameter of the model. Different values for different modelings and different displacement components are assumed. The repeated r indexes are summed over their ranges. Subscript 0 denotes displacement values with correspondence to the plate refJournal of Vibration and Acoustics Fig. 2 Linear and cubic case of ESLM DECEMBER 2011, Vol. 133 / 061017-3 Downloaded From: http://vibrationacoustics.asmedigitalcollection.asme.org/ on 05/28/2014 Terms of Use: http://asme.org/terms The top and bottom values have been used as unknown variables. The interlaminar compatibility of displacement at each interface is easily linked: ukt ¼ ubkþ1 ; 4 k ¼ 1; Nl 1 (18) Rayleigh-Ritz Formulation The Rayleigh-Ritz method is a useful method for the approximate solutions to boundary value problems. This approach is equally applicable to bending, buckling and vibration problems. The stiffness and mass matrices in Rayleigh-Ritz approximation are obtained via the principle of virtual displacements in dynamic case: Nl ð X Fig. 3 Linear and cubic case of ZZM k¼1 ¼ C0z for the displacements at the interfaces, i.e., the -requirement could be easily introduced by using the interface variable as unknown functions: uk ¼ Ft ukt þ Fb ukb þ Fr ukr ¼ Fs uks s ¼ t; b; r r ¼ 1; 2; 3; ; N (14) The subscripts t and b denote values related to the layer’s top and bottom surfaces, respectively. They consist of the linear part of the expansion. The thickness functions Fs ðfk Þ have now been defined at the k-layer level, Ft ¼ P0 þ P1 P0 P1 ; Fb ¼ ; Fr ¼ Pr Pr2 ; r ¼ 2; 3; ; N 2 2 (15) in which Pj ¼ Pj ðfk Þ is the Legendre polynomial of the j-order defined in the fk -domain: 1 fk 1. Linear and cubic displacement field are shown in Fig. 4. The related polynomials are: P0 ¼ 1; 5f3k P1 ¼ fk ; 3f P3 ¼ k; 2 2 3fk 1 2 35f4k 15f2k 3 P4 ¼ þ 8 8 4 ð Xk Nl ð X k¼1 ð Xk (19) qk duk u€k dV Ak where qk denotes mass density while double dots signifies accelerations. The subscript T signifies an array transposition and d virtual variations. The subscript H underlines that stresses are computed via Hooke’s law. The variation of the internal work has been split into in-plane and out-plane parts and involves stress from Hooke’s law and strain from geometrical relations (subscript G). In Rayleigh-Ritz method the displacement vector, uks , that appears in Eq. (8), is expressed in series expansions: uks ¼ f ðtÞgi Uksi where i ¼ 1; :::; N s ¼ t; b; r r ¼ 2; 3; :::::; N (20) N indicates the order of expansion in the approximation. Consequently, the displacement field, in compact way, assume the following form: P2 ¼ The chosen functions have the following properties: 1 : Ft ¼ 1; Fb ¼ 0; Fr ¼ 0 fk ¼ 1 : Ft ¼ 0; Fb ¼ 1; Fr ¼ 0 Ak T T dekpG rkpH þ deknG rknH dXk dz (16) uk ¼ f ðtÞFs gi Uksi (21) 8 k 9 < Uxsi = k Uksi ¼ Uysi : k ; Uzsi (22) where: (17) the matrix gi is a diagonal matrix functions: 2 gxi 0 gi ¼ 4 0 gyi 0 0 formed by approximation 3 0 0 5 gzi end in complete form it can be written, in two ways: 2 0 gx2 0 0 … gxN 0 gx1 0 0 gy2 0 … 0 gyN g ¼ 4 0 gy1 0 0 gz2 … 0 0 0 0 gz1 0 (23) 3 0 0 5 gzN (24) or, in form of blocks g ¼ ½ g1 Fig. 4 Linear and cubic case of LWM 061017-4 / Vol. 133, DECEMBER 2011 g2 … gN (25) therefore, Eq.

The lamination scheme used is: • LS : ½30 = 30 =30 and the material is graphite-epoxy: E1 ¼ 138 GPa, E2 ¼ 8:96 GPa, G12 ¼ 7:1 GPa, 12 ¼ 0:30 In Fig. 5, the influence of lamination angle upon the first height frequencies is shown. The graphic shows a symmetric trend due to similar frequency values obtained with lamination of 30 60 , 15 75 and 0 90 . In following analysis different lamination schemes (LS), material and refined theories have been considered: • • • • LS1 : ½0 = 0 =0 LS2 : ½15 = 15 =15 LS3 : ½30 = 30 =30 LS4 : ½45 = 45 =45 The material proprieties of the used lamina in the analysis is E-glass-epoxy (E/E): • Free-vibration analyses of anisotropic, simply supported composite laminated plates are considered. Different materials, lamination schemes and theories are taken into account. Acronyms have been introduced to denote the different analysis in tables and diagrams. Three characters have been used to build up these acronyms. The first character can be L or E which states Layer-wise or Equivalent single layer analysis. The second one is D which states classical analysis on the basis of Displacement formulation. The third character can assume the numbers 1, 2, 3 or 4 which state the order N of the displacement field. For instance, LD3 means Layer-wise Displacement analysis with cubic displacement field in each layer. Thin and thick as well as square plate geometries have been analyzed. Regular symmetric angle-ply laminate ½h = h =h and cross-ply laminate are considered. parameter X (45) Using these kind of functions, the surface integral present in the fundamental nucleus can be solved in analytical way. For the sake of brevity, it is only shown the first surface integral present in the first component of fundamental nucleus, for instance: ð xx ¼ gxi;x gxj;x dX I K1mnpq X ð ð mp2 p a b mpx npy ppx qpy ¼ 2 sin sin sin dx dy sin a a b a b 0 0 ð ð npy qpy b mp2 p a mpx ppx ¼ 2 sin dx sin sin dy sin a a a b b 0 0 mp2 p x y ¼ 2 J1mp J1nq a (46) 5 2 ffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi Convergence of the frequency q a 12qð1m12 m21 Þ for square plate ¼ 1 b E1 h2 E1 ¼ 60:7 GPa, E2 ¼ 24:8 GPa, G12 ¼ 12:0 GPa, 12 ¼ 0:23 First and second natural frequencies with different thicknessratio and theories are evaluated. From the results reported in Tables 3–6, it is remarked that frequencies predicted by the linear models LD1, ED1 and EDZ1 are higher than those obtained with the other models. This confirms the pathology that is peculiar to linear models retaining the full 3D constitutive law and that has been referred to in Ref. [54] as Poisson locking. Figs. 6–9 highlight as the fundamental frequency parameter is more influenced from thickness parameter than lamination angle. For thick plate a=h ¼ 4, refined theories such as FSDT and ED4 show a better behavior with respect to CLPT, the ineffectiveness of CLPT has had due to limits of validity to thin plates.

Taking into account thin plates all the theories are agree with the exception of ED1 model affected by Poisson locking. In Fig. 10, it is possible to observe the monotonous increasing of the circular frequency parameters as the thickness ratio a/h increase. 5.2 Cross-Ply Laminates. Free-vibration analysis of both symmetric and antisymmetric cross-ply laminates is addressed. In Tables 7 and 8, antisymmetric laminate are considered. Fundamental frequency parameter for different thickness and modulus ratio is evaluated. Lamination schemes used are ð0 =90 Þ and ð0 =90 Þ4 , and the material proprieties are G12 ¼ G13 ¼ 0:5E2 , G23 ¼ 0:2E2 , 12 ¼ 0:25. Increasing the number of layers, the fundamental frequency parameter increases, as well. More refined theories such as LD3, LD4 show a better behavior both for thick plate and for an higher number of layers. In Figs. 11 and 12 increasing the thickness ratio CLPT theory shows a good agreement with LD3, LD4. For thick plate the error committed by CLPT is bigger with lamination scheme ð0 =90 Þ4 than ð0 =90 Þ. The error percentage, generated using FDST by comparison with LD4 model and an anisotropic ratio of E1 =E2 ¼ 10, is strongly dependent form lamination scheme. More specifically the error ¼ 3:93% with lamination scheme ð0 =90 Þ and error ¼ 16:31% with ð0 =90 Þ4 . Figures 13 and 14 highlight the rise of fundamental frequency, always using the same model, as increase the anisotropic ratio.

Classical formulations based on displacement assumptions have been considered. A variable Kinematics approach with hierarchical capabilities has been considered to establish the accuracy of a large variety of classical and advanced plate theories to evaluate circular frequency parameters. LW, ZZ and ESLM have been implemented. Linear up to fourth order displacement fields in the layer-plate thickness direction have been considered. The conducted investigation restricted to vibration of simply supported plate have mainly lead to the following conclusions: • • • • Layer-wise furnishes a better description of free-vibration of laminate thick plates, while the accuracy of ESLM analyses is very much subordinate to laminate lay-outs and to the mechanical properties of the lamina. As already highlighted in Ref. [53], for bending analysis, also in free-vibration analysis the inclusion of MZZF is very effective, especially if the order of the expansion along the thickness is low. The accuracy of the different modelings is very much subordinate to the order N of the used displacement expansion. Very accurate layer-wise results have been obtained for N 2. The convergence is reasonably fast, by virtue of the fulfillment of both mechanical and geometrical boundary conditions of the basis function chosen. It is concluded that CUF has shown its own strength in building classical and advanced plate theories to perform accurate freevibration analysis of laminated composite plates. Future works will propose the same Rayleigh-Ritz approximate solution method in order to address bending and buckling analyses.
