Behavior of spinning laminated composite plates with initial twist-experimental vibrations, strain, and deflection resultsThe experimental behavior of spinning, pre-twisted laminated composite plates was investigated. The purpose of these experiments was to establish an experimental database consisting of strain, deflections, and natural frequencies as a function of rotational velocity. Six different plate sets were tested, that included three different stacking sequences (two symmetric, one asymmetric), two different initial twist levels (0 deg, 30 deg), and two different initial twist axis locations (midchord, quarter-chord). The plates were spin tested at four different combinations of pitch and sweep. It was observed that the location of the pretwist axis and the level of pretwist greatly affects the strain and deflections of the spinning plate, while only the pretwist level affects the measured natural frequencies.
