Abstract
By extending the pseudo-Stroh formalism to multilayered one-dimensional orthorhombic quasicrystal plates, we derive an exact closed-form solution for simply supported plates under surface loadings. The propagator matrix method is introduced to efficiently and accurately treat the multilayered cases. As a numerical example, a sandwich plate made of quasicrystals and crystals with two different stacking sequences is investigated. The displacement and stress fields for these two stacking sequences are presented, which clearly demonstrate the importance of the stacking sequences on the induced physical quantities. Our exact closed-form solution should be of particular interest to the design of one-dimensional quasicrystal laminated plates. The numerical results can be further used as benchmarks to various numerical methods, such as the finite element and finite difference methods, on the analysis of laminated composites made of one-dimensional quasicrystals.
