The present paper investigates the parametric instability of square laminated plates subjected to periodic dynamic loadings in hygrothermal environment. The effects of various parameters like the increase in static load factor and the degree of orthotropy of simply supported composite plates at elevated temperatures and moisture concentrations on the principal instability regions are investigated using finite element method. The effects of transverse shear deformation and rotary inertia are used to study the antisymmetric angle-ply square plates. A simple laminated plate model is developed for the parametric instability of square laminated plates subjected to hygrothermal loading. A computer program based on FEM in MATLAB environment is developed to perform all necessary computations. The results show that instability of square laminated plates occurs for different parameters with an increase in temperature and moisture environment. The onset of instability occurs earlier, and the width of dynamic instability regions increases with a rise in temperature and moisture for different parameters. The effect of damping shows that there is a finite critical value of dynamic load factor for each instability region below which the square laminated plates cannot become unstable.

The present investigation deals with the assessment of parametric resonance behavior of new aircraft material, i.e., woven fiber metal laminated (FML) plates subjected to in-plane static and harmonic loading using finite element (FE) technique and Bolotin’s method. In this analysis, a four-node isoparametric element with five degrees of freedom per node is adopted. Based on the first-order Reissner–Mindlin theory, the parametric instability of FML plate subjected to in-plane harmonic loading is examined. A MATLAB code is developed for the parametric study on the dynamic stability of FML plates. The reliability of present formulation is checked by comparing numerical results obtained from present FE analysis with the published researches in the field. The influences of several factors, viz. static load factor, aspect ratio, length-to-thickness ratio, number of layers, ply orientation and boundary conditions on the dynamic instability regions are discussed. Significant variations of these factors on dynamic instability zones of FML plates are observed. The instability zones can be used as guidelines for the prediction of the dynamic behavior of FML plates.

The dynamic stability of bidirectional woven fiber laminated glass/epoxy composite shallow shells subjected to harmonic in-plane loading in hygrothermal environment is considered. An eight-noded isoparametric shell element with five degrees of freedom is used in the analysis. In the present finite element formulation, a composite doubly curved shell model based on first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) is used for the dynamic stability analysis of shell panels subjected to hygrothermal loading. A program is developed using MATLAB for the parametric study on the dynamic stability of shell panels under the hygrothermal field. The effects of various parameters like static load factor, curvature, shallowness, temperature, moisture, stacking sequence and boundary conditions on the dynamic instability regions of woven fiber glass/epoxy shell panels are investigated. The location of dynamic instability regions is shown to affect significantly due to presence of the hygrothermal field.

The dynamic instability behavior of delaminated composite plates under transverse excitations was investigated experimentally and analytically. An electromagnetic device, acting like a spring with alternating stiffness, was used to parametrically excite the delaminated composite plates transversely. An analytical method, combined with the finite element method, was used to determine the instability regions of the delaminated composite plates based on the modal parameters of the composite plate and the position, the stiffness of the electromagnetic device. The delamination size and position of composite plates were varied to assess their effects on the excitation frequencies of simple and combination resonances in instability regions. The experimental results were found to agree with the analytical ones.

The dynamic stability behaviour of a tapered beam has been studied using a finite element analysis. The instability zones of the parametric stability diagram have been discussed for the entire ranges of static and dynamic load factors. It has been observed that at high values of static load and beyond a particular value of the dynamic load factor, the periodic solution of the Mathieu equation does not exist in the principal region. This leads to unstable behaviour due to large displacement of the beam due to increasing values of static and dynamic load factors.

In this paper, the dynamic stability characteristics of laminated composite plates with piezoelectric layers subjected to periodic in-plane load are studied. The finite element method is employed using a modified first-order shear deformation plate theory (MFSDT). The formulation includes the effects of transverse shear, in-plane, and rotary inertia. The boundaries of dynamic instability regions are obtained using Bolotin's approach. The structural system is considered to be undamped. The correctness of the formulation is established by comparing the authors' results with those available in the published literature. The effects of control voltage, static buckling load parameter, number of stacking layers, and thickness of plate on the principal and second instability regions are investigated for cross-ply laminated composite plate.

This paper is concerned with the problem of occurrence of combination resonances in parametrically excited doubly curved panels. The dynamic instability of doubly curved panels, subjected to non-uniform in-plane harmonic loading is investigated. Sander's first-order shear deformation theory is used to model the doubly curved panels, considering the effects of transverse shear deformation and rotary inertia. The theory can be reduced to Love's and Donnell's theories by means of tracers. Analytical expressions for the instability regions are obtained at Ω = ωm+ ωn(Ω is the excitation frequency and ωmand ωnare the natural frequencies of the system), by using the method of multiple scales. It is shown that besides the principal instability region at Ω =2ω1, where ω1is the fundamental frequency, other cases of Ω = ωm+ ωnwhich are related to other modes, can be of major importance and yield a significantly enlarged instability region. The results show that under localized edge loading, combination resonance zones are as important as simple resonance zones. The effects of edge loading, curvature, shallowness ratio, edge length to thickness ratio, aspect ratio, boundary conditions and the static load factor on dynamic instability regions are considered.

In the present investigation, the dynamic instability regions of shear deformable cross-ply laminated and composite cylindrical panels subjected to periodic nonuniform in-plane loads are reported. Since the applied in-plane load is nonuniform, initially the static part of the nonuniform in-plane loads are applied and the stresses (σx, σy and τxy) within the panel are evaluated by the solution of cylindrical panel membrane problem. Subsequently, superposing the stress distribution due to static and dynamic in-plane loads, the stress distributions within the panel are obtained. Using these stress distributions the governing equations of the problem are derived through Hamilton's variational principle based on higher-order shear deformation theory of elastic shell theory incorporating von Kármán-type nonlinear strain displacement relations. The governing partial differential equations are reduced into a set of ordinary differential equations (Mathieu-type of equations) by employing Galerkin's method. The instability boundaries of Mathieu equation corresponding to periodic solutions of period T and 2T are determined using Fourier series. Effect of various parameters like static and dynamic load factors, aspect ratio, thickness-to-radius ratio, shallowness ratio, linearly varying in-plane load, parabolic in-plane load and various boundary conditions on the instability regions are investigated.
