Fully-coupled fluid-structure analysis of a baffled rectangular orthotropic plate using the boundary element and finite element methods

Laminated composite plates have become an important and proven structural material in aerospace and ocean vehicles. However, because of the inherent orthotropy of laminated composite materials the analysis of these structures is complex and usually cannot be adequately performed using classical meth...
