Abstract: The uses of laminated composite beams are increasing day by day in many industries. This laminated composite beam has been exposed under different dynamic loadings in mechanical operation. Therefore, the dynamic investigation of laminated composite beams (LCB) is very much necessary to forecast the catastrophe fail of the LCB components. At present, dynamic investigation of the LCB is carried out by the determining of fundamental frequency and mode shape. The special attentions like; in the design of geometry, orientation of fibres, layup of sections and boundary conditions are also analysed with referring the dynamical loadings and industry uses. The analysis procedures and results are validated with the reference results using finite element analysis software. Present research deals with the consequence of different volume fraction, boundary conditions and geometrical variation like aspect ratio, geometric ratio and length of E-glass polyester LCB. By altering different stacking sequences and these effects on mechanical properties as well as natural frequency are also analysed.
Keywords: Laminated, composite, dynamics, stacking sequences, orientations, geometric ratio, aspect ratio, volume fraction.
