Modal analysis was carried out by <br />finite element software ANSYS in accordance with L9 orthogonal array which has two control factors such <br />as fiber types and number of layers. Optimal levels of fiber types and number of layers were determined <br />using analysis of Signal-to-Noise ratio, while importance levels and percentage effects of control factors <br />were performed using analysis of variance at 95% confidence level. According to results obtained from this <br />study, the maximum fundamental natural frequency value was calculated using boron-fiber-reinforced <br />laminated composite plates with three layers. Numerical and statistical results obtained from this study can <br />be useful to select the appropriate fiber types and number of layers for laminated composite plates. <br /> </p>}, number={2}, publisher={Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat Üniversitesi}
