The Nonlinear Dynamic Behaviour of Tapered Laminated Plates Subjected to Blast Loading

In this study, the geometrically nonlinear dynamic behaviour of simply supported tapered laminated composite plates subjected to the air blast loading is investigated numerically. In-plane stiffness, inertia and the geometric nonlinearity effects are considered in the formulation of the problem. The...
