A modeling method for the vibration analysis of rotating composite cantilever plates is
presented in this paper. The coupling effects between inplane motions and the bending motion
are considered and explicit mass and stiffness matrices are derived for the modal analysis.
Numerical results are obtained and some of them are compared to those of a commercial
program to confirm the accuracy of the present method. Numerical results show that the
coupling effects become important only when laminates are stacked up unsymmetrically.
Incidentally, natural frequencies loci veering, loci crossing, and associated mode shape
variations are observed.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the
variations of modal characteristics of the rotating Fig. 1 Configuration of a rotating composite re-
composite plate. The equations of motion are ctangular plate
derived and transformed into dimensionless
forms. Dimensionless parameters are identified
and the effects of angular speed and the fiber
orientation angle on the modal characteristics are
investigated. Especially, the importance of the
coupling effects between inplane and bending
motion is clarified. Incidentally, natural frequen-
cy loci veering, loci crossing, and associated mode
shape variations are exhibited and discussed.
