Mathematical modeling and solution of nonlinear vibration problem of laminated plates with CNT originating layers interacting with two-parameter elastic foundation

Abstract

Generalizing the first-order shear deformation plate theory (FOPT) proposed by Ambartsumyan (Theory of anisotropic plates, Nauka, Moscow, 1967 (in Russian)) to the heterogeneous laminated nanocomposite plates and the nonlinear vibration problem is analytically solved taking into account an elastic medium in this study for the first time. The Pasternak-type elastic foundation model (PT-EF) is used as the elastic medium model. After creating the mathematical models of laminated rectangular plates with CNT originating layers on the PT-EF, the large amplitude stress–strain relationships and motion equations are derived in the form of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) within FOPT. Then, by applying Galerkin's method to the derived equations, it is reduced to a nonlinear ordinary differential equation (NL-ODE) containing the second- and third-order nonlinear terms of the deflection function for laminated rectangular plates composed of nanocomposite layers. The NL-ODE is solved by the semi-inverse method, and the nonlinear frequency–amplitude relationship for the laminated plates consisting of CNT originating layers resting on the PT-EF is established within FOPT for the first time. From these relations, similar relations can be obtained particularly for the unconstrained laminated and monolayer CNT patterns plates. After comparing the accuracy of the obtained formulas with the reliable results in the literature, comprehensive numerical analyses are performed.

Computational Linear and Nonlinear Free Vibration Analyses of Micro/Nanoscale Composite Plate-Type Structures With/Without Considering Size Dependency Effect: A Comprehensive Review

“…The NL/linear vibrational period decreased due to increasing the amplitude. However, Avey et al [513] explored the NL FV responses of LCPs with CNT originating layers interacting with PF bases based on FSDT. Besides, the Galerkin approach was used to discretize NL ODEs which solved by semi-inverse methodology.…”

Uncertain buckling characteristics of thermally loaded and internally defected variable fiber spacing composite laminates

“…30 Multiple researchers performed vibrational response estimation in the linear and nonlinear free and forced environments over various FG structures. [31][32][33][34][35] The skin panel of the airplane is where composite materials are most frequently employed when referring to the aerospace sector. This decision becomes much more critical when the aircraft is in a high-flight-dynamic condition because structural failure may be caused by aerodynamic heating.…”
