	  abstract     = {This paper deals with a numerical analysis of the
transient response of composite beams with strain rate dependent
mechanical properties by use of a finite difference method. The
equations of motion based on Timoshenko beam theory are derived.
The geometric nonlinearity effects are taken into account with von
Kármán large deflection theory. The finite difference method in
conjunction with Newmark average acceleration method is applied to
solve the differential equations. A modified progressive damage
model which accounts for strain rate effects is developed based on
the material property degradation rules and modified Hashin-type
failure criteria and added to the finite difference model. The
components of the model are implemented into a computer code in
Mathematica 6. Glass/epoxy laminated composite beams with
constant and strain rate dependent mechanical properties under
dynamic load are analyzed. Effects of strain rate on dynamic
response of the beam for various stacking sequences, load and
boundary conditions are investigated.},
