Nonlinear macro-micro dynamics of laminated structures

The aim of this contribution is to formulate and investigate a model of the periodically laminated medium made of two isotropic highly-elastic constituents. The main feature of the proposed approach is that the resulting relations depend on the microstructure length parameter and hence describe dispersion phenomena and higher free vibration frequencies in the dynamic behaviour of a micro-laminated body. The obtained model will be used to the dynamic stability and the wave propagation problem analysis.
