Time domain analysis of geometrically nonlinear vibrations of composite laminated plates by the hierarchical finite element method

A hierarchical finite element for laminated composite plates is formulated. The element is general, in the sense that it applies to symmetric or asymmetric plates. Compared with h-version elements, it has the major advantages of requiring a small number of degrees of freedom for accuracy and of bein...
