1.2. Material properties#

Each layer behaves in an orthotropic elastic manner (defined via DEFI_COMPOSITE).

  • \({E}_{L}=134400E6;{E}_{T}=10340E6;{\mathrm{\nu }}_{LT}=\mathrm{0,33};{G}_{LT}=5100E6;{G}_{TN}=1999E6\)

  • \(\mathrm{\rho }=1477\)

1.3. Boundary conditions and loads#

The aim is to study the natural frequencies of the plate embedded on one of its sides (see figure).
