Free vibration of quadrilateral laminated plates with carbon nanotube reinforced composite layers

The free vibration behavior of quadrilateral laminated thin-to-moderately thick plates with carbon nanotube reinforced composite (CNTRC) layers is studied. The governing equations are based on the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT). The solution procedure is based on transforming the governing differential equations from an arbitrary straight-sided physical domain to a regular computational one, and discretization of the spatial...
