% Define material stiffness matrix Q11 = E1 / (1 - nu12^2); Q22 = E2 / (1 - nu12^2); Q12 = nu12 * Q11; Q66 = G12; Q16 = 0; Q26 = 0;
% Display results fprintf('Deflection: %.2f mm\n', w * 1000); fprintf('Rotation (x): %.2f degrees\n', theta_x * 180 / pi); fprintf('Rotation (y): %.2f degrees\n', theta_y * 180 / pi); This code defines the plate properties, material stiffness matrix, and flexural stiffness matrix. It then assembles the global stiffness matrix and solves for the deflection and rotation of the plate under a transverse load. Composite Plate Bending Analysis With Matlab Code
The following MATLAB code performs a bending analysis of a composite plate using FSDT: % Define material stiffness matrix Q11 = E1
where $M_x$, $M_y$, and $M_{xy}$ are the bending and twisting moments, $q$ is the transverse load, $D_{ij}$ are the flexural stiffnesses, and $\kappa_x$, $\kappa_y$, and $\kappa_{xy}$ are the curvatures. % Assemble global stiffness matrix K = [D11,
% Assemble global stiffness matrix K = [D11, D12, D16; D12, D22, D26; D16, D26, D66];
