Vibrations of Laminated Beams

In this work it is presented an adaptation for beams of Di Sciuva’s theory of laminated plates. This theory accepts that in each lamina plane sections remain plane and other assumptions accepted for isotropic beams.

A computer program was made to solve the equations of movement for simply-supported beams.

Several results are shown, and it is emphasized the excelent agreement between theoritical and experimental values.
