Modal validation of a set of C0-compatible composite shell finite elements
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract This paper presents efficient C0-compatible finite elements for modelling laminated composite shells under free vibrations. Derived from the first-order shear deformation theory (equivalent single-layer laminate model), the elements are well adapted for evaluating the global dynamic response (natural frequencies and mode shapes) of moderately thick multilayered shells. The components of their structural matrices are based on an exact integration per layer, which results in a higher solution accuracy than with standard explicit through-the-thickness schemes. The described finite element formulation, which can be easily implemented in commercial finite element codes, is next validated by means of several experimental modal test cases on thin to relatively thick plates or shells.
