Dynamic analysis of the influence of fiber orientation in composite laminated plates

The behavior of the material is modeled through finite element method, where the First Order Shear Deformation Theory (FSDT) is used which is implemented on a rectangular element serendipity containing eight nodes. The mathematical modeling has been implemented using the commercial available software MATLAB®. Through numerical simulations, it will be possible to obtain the natural frequencies. And we will present a sensitivity analysis with respect to the fiber orientation parameter.
