摘要
In most structural applications, composite structures can be idealized as beams, plates or shells. The analysis is reduced from three-dimensional elasticity problem to a one-dimensional, or two-dimensional problem, based on certain simplifying assumptions that can be made because the structure is thin. In this article is presented the mathematical model properly thin orthotropic plates, based on simplifying assumptions Love- Kirchhoff and small deformations. Proposed analytical solutions are considered both for solving equation orthotropic rectangular plates and for modal analysis, in the case of plates with clamped edges. The purposed solutions were analysed considering a FEM solution for comparison and the experimental test results.
