Laminated composite plate was modelled and simulated to obtain vibration responses for different length-to-thickness ratio in ANSYS. Furthermore, a numerical finite element model was developed for the laminated composite utilizing the Kirchhoff plate theory and programmed in MATLAB for simulations. Optimizing the difference between these two vibration responses, inverse vibration problem was solved to obtain some of the physical properties of the laminated composite using genetic algorithms. The estimated parameters are compared with the theoretical results, and a very good correspondence was observed. © 2017, The Korean Society of Mechanical Engineers and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessFinite elementGenetic algorithmInverse vibrationLaminated compositeParameter estimationFinite element methodGenetic algorithmsInverse problemsLaminatingMATLABParameter estimationPhysical propertiesVibration analysisVibrations (mechanical)Estimated parameterInverse vibrationInverse vibration problemKirchhoff plate theoryLaminated composite platesLength-to-thickness ratioVibration responseLaminated compositesFinite elementGenetic algorithmInverse vibrationLaminated compositeParameter estimationFinite element methodGenetic algorithmsInverse problemsLaminatingMATLABParameter estimationPhysical propertiesVibration analysisVibrations (mechanical)Estimated parameterInverse vibrationInverse vibration problemKirchhoff plate theoryLaminated composite platesLength-to-thickness ratioVibration responseLaminated compositesArticle311293610.1007/s12206-016-1204-42-s2.0-85009792079Q2WOS:000392328800004Q3
