Abstract

Filamentary composite structural components used in engineering applications are usually subjected to stochastic loads. Composites have strongly anisotropic properties and display significantly non-linear behavior when loaded in shear. The finite element technique is used together with the method of equivalent linearization to study the in-plane non-linear random vibration response of uni-directional laminae. The method may be easily adapted to analyze laminated composites.
