Dynamic deflection behaviour of plant fibre reinforced laminated composite plate structure using simulation model

In this work, a finite element model has been developed for the transient deflection analysis of plant fibre reinforced laminated composite flat panel using commercial finite element software platform. The plate model has been discretised using eight noded SHELL 281 serendipity element in ANSYS parametric design language (APDL) platform and the responses in time domain are obtained using Newmark time integration algorithm. The accuracy and performance of the present simulation model have been checked via reference literature. Further, the model is extended to analyse the influence of geometrical parameters and support condition on time dependent responses of plant fibre reinforced composite plate structure.
