Natural frequencies and an atlas of mode shapes for generally-laminated, thick, skew, trapezoidal plates

<p>Composite materials are increasingly finding use in structures, such as aircraft components, and thus, an accurate method of predicting response is required. Even laminated structures that are considered thin can be significantly affected by transverse shear effects, and as a result, tra...
