TL;DRAbstract

A finite-element analysis is presented for large-deflection bending and large-amplitude free vibration of rectangular plates of cross-ply and angle-ply construction under various edge conditions and loadings. The finite element employed in the present study accounts for transverse shear and rotatory inertia (in the Reissner-Mindlin sense), and large rotations (in the von Karman sense). The finite element solutions are found to agree very closely with results available in the literature. (Author)
