| Abstract: | The dynamic problem of the natural vibrations of glass-reinforced plastic plates with low shear strength is examined. The calculations are based on the Timoshenko model (allowance for shear strains and rotational inertia). It is shown that disregarding effects associated with the large shear compliance of glass-reinforced plastic plates leads to appreciable errors in determining the dynamic characteristics.Institute of Polymer Mechanics, Academy of Sciencies of the Latvian SSR, Riga.
