Notice: As of 2014 and for the forthcoming years, the publication frequency/periodicity of WSEAS Journals is adapted to the 'continuously updated' model. What this means is that instead of being separated into issues, new papers will be added on a continuous basis, allowing a more regular flow and shorter publication times. The papers will appear in reverse order, therefore the most recent one will be on top.

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study is to investigate the static and free vibration analysis of the cross-ply laminated straight beams on a two-parameter foundation, namely Pasternak. The curved element formulation is based on Timoshenko beam theory including the shear influence and the rotary inertia. The degrees of freedom of the two nodded element are three translations, three rotations, two shear forces, one axial force, two bending moment and one torque (12 DOF). A parametric study is performed on the static and the natural frequencies of cross-ply laminated straight beams with various foundation parameters. Support conditions are simply supported, fixed-fixed and fixed-roller.

KEYWORDS: composite beam, finite element method, Timoshenko beam theory, elastic foundation
