Abstract

In this paper the smoothed four-node element with in-plane rotations MISQ24 is combined with a C0-type higher-order shear deformation theory (C0-HSDT) to propose an improved linear quadrilateral plate element for static and free vibration analyses of laminated composite plates. This improvement results in two additional degrees of freedom at each node and require no shear correction factors while ensuring the high precision of numerical solutions. Composite plates with different lay-ups, boundary conditions and various geometries such as rectangular, skew and triangular plates are analyzed using the proposed element. The obtained numerical results are compared with those from previous studies in the literature to demonstrate the effectiveness, the reliability and the accuracy of the present element.

Keywords:
