THE VIBRATION AND STABILITY OF ORTHOTROPIC LAMINATES BY SPLINE FINITE-POINT METHOD

In this paper,the vibration and stability of orlhotiopic laminates with various boundary conditions are analysed by spline finite-point method (SFPM).The general program solving the problems is provided.The results show that SFPM has advantages of little freedom,faster convergence.higher accuracy and more convenience im calculation on the microcomputer. SFPM is a powerful tool in dynamic analysis and stability analysis of orthotropic laminates.
