Popis: With the extensive use of composite materials in aviation industry, the research of factors which affect their basic performances in production and usage has become very important. In this paper, a finite element analysis model is built by the commercial software MSC.Nastran / Patran to research the effect of fiber lay-up direction misalignment on the natural frequency of composite laminates. The results show that, in the same boundary conditions, stacking sequence has a significant impact on the natural frequencies and vibration modes of composite laminates, and in the lay-up process, the natural frequency change of laminates caused by 0° fiber lay-up direction misalignment is much larger than the natural frequency change of laminates due to 90° fiber lay-up direction misalignment. In the process control and certification of composite laminate plates lay-up, special attention should be taken to the inspection of 0° direction fibers.
