Random vibration and fracture of tapered composite laminates

Polymer-matrix tapered composite laminates with internal taper are considered in the present thesis. Appropriate finite element models for the tapered laminates are developed using quadratic isoparametric elements. Both the rectangular and triangular isoparametric elements are employed in the model...
