Abstract
The current work fills a gap of a small-scale study on wave propagation behavior of symmetric, antisymmetric, and quasi-isotropic cross/angle-plies laminated composite nanoplates. The governing equations are derived through the Hamiltonian principle for four-variable refined shear deformation plate theory in conjunction with the assumption of a non-classical theory, and then size-dependent formulations are solved via an analytical solution procedure. This work provides information to accurately analyze the influence of lay-up numbers and sequences, geometry, fiber orientations, and wave numbers on the size-dependent wave propagation response of laminated composite nanoplates.
