In　this　work,　geometrically　nonlinear　transient　response　of　laminated　plates　with　nonlinear　viscoelastic　restraints　is　investigated　by　a　numerical　method,　in　the　computational　platform-MSC.Nastran.　The　variable　constraining　forces　as　functions　of　dynamic　displacements　and　velocities　are　added　to　the　right-hand　side　of　equation　of　motion　as　additional　applied　loads.　These　loads　are　represented　by　an　independent　set　of　functions　that　satisfy　the　various　constraint　conditions　for　specific　cases.　The　nonlinear　equations　are　solved　by　using　the　load　increments　scheme　in　conjunction　with　Newton-Raphson　iteration.　The　time　history　of　transverse　displacement　at　a　typical　point　is　given　through　a　series　of　transient　analysis.　Then　the　comparisons　of　the　responses　for　different　parameters　of　the　Kelvin-Voigt　model　and　boundary　conditions　are　made.　The　numerical　results　show　that　the　present　method　is　validated　to　be　effective　for　treating　geometrically　nonlinear　transient　problems　with　nonlinear　viscoelastic　restraints.　Copyright　©　2016　by　ASME.
