Modal interactions in the dynamic response of isotropic and composite plates

Hamilton's principle and a third-order shear-deformation theory are used to derive a set of five coupled partial-differential equations governing the nonlinear response of composite plates. The reduction of these equations by using classical plate theory is discussed and the corresponding parti...
