Dynamic instability analysis of tapered composite plates using Ritz and finite element methods

Tapered composite plates are widely used in civil, mechanical and aerospace structures such as robot arms, wing structures, helicopter yoke and turbine blade where the plate structure needs to be stiff at one location and flexible at another location. By terminating some plies at discrete locations,...
