Testing Suggestions
resonance frequencies of composite plates
use a free FFT phone app to analyze
use laminar plate theory for FEA of plate composites
initial coarse grid analysis, then zoom in on critical points for fine grid analysis
do not screw composite plates together, use glue joints
glass beads help contribute to a uniform glue line
shear stressed are handled very well but peel forces are not
