Finite Element Analysis of Laminated Composite Plates Using ANSYS

Mahaboobali Nadaf and Dr.R.J. Fernandes


Abstract:

Laminated composite plates are used in various types of structure, viz., aircraft fuselages, vehicle chassis, ship hulls, etc., due to their low specific weight (mass), high specific strength and stiffness. But, they are highly susceptible to the external loadings which can affect its gross performance. Therefore it is necessary to study the structural behaviour of these plates such as deflections, stresses and strains. This study will help in preparing strong, efficient laminated plates. The main objective of the present work is to analyze the laminated composite plate using FEM software (ANSYS) and to conduct the parametric study on response of laminated plates for various side to thickness ratios, aspect ratios, different ply orientation and varying number of laminas for Static loading condition.
