FEA of stress-strain state and vibrations of a three-layer plate

Abstract

Solar panels are considered as three-layer plates with a thick, rigid outer layer and a thin, soft inner layer. The model for anti-sandwich plates was used to describe the mechanical behavior of the plates in the example of a solar panel. The literature review includes scientific articles describing models for analytical and numerical calculations of three-layer plates. During the scientific study of the mechanical behavior of the solar plate under the influence of external factors, the finite element analysis method for multilayer plates was used. The shell elements were used to calculate and model the natural waveforms of three-layer plates. The paper presents scientific research under static loading under various conditions of influence, analyzes the natural frequencies, and vibration forms, and investigates the stress-strain state depending on the vibration frequencies of the three-layer plate. As part of the scientific work, a mechanical model of a thin solar panel was studied using finite element analysis in the ANSYS program, taking into account various temperature conditions and comparing the results with existing studies.
