Abstract (EN): The effect of boundary conditions on the vibrations of variable stiffness composite laminates (VSCL) with curvilinear fibers is particularly interesting because fiber orientations at the plate edges and in the plate's domain can differ. Since real boundaries are not the ideal limit cases usually assumed in the literature, a more correct model can be achieved by representing boundaries as elastically restrained edges. This approach is followed in this work, which investigates the combined effect of fiber orientation and boundary stiffness on the geometrically non-linear forced vibrations of rectangular VSCL plates. The boundary stiffness is adjusted using experimental data.
