Nonlinear dynamics of composite plates and other physical systems

The computer algebra system MACSYMA is used to derive the nonlinear expression for the Lagrangian and the nonlinear equations of motion of composite plates undergoing large deformations by using a higher-order shear-deformation theory. When computer algebra is not used, the derivation of these equat...
