Abstract A study of the dynamical behavior of aircraft wings modeled as doubly-tapered thin-walled beams, made from advanced anisotropic composite materials, and incorporating a number of non-classical effects such as transverse shear, and warping inhibition is presented. The supplied numerical results illustrate the effects played by the taper ratio, anisotropy of constituent materials, transverse shear flexibility, and warping inhibition on free vibration and dynamic response to time-dependent external excitations. Although considered for aircraft wings, this analysis and results can be also applied to a large number of structures such as helicopter blades, robotic manipulator arms, space booms, tall cantilever chimneys, etc.

Abstract This paper addresses the problem of the dynamic response in bending of flat sandwich panels exposed to time-dependent external pulses. The study is carried out in the context of an advanced model of sandwich structures that is characterized by anisotropic laminated face sheets and an orthotropic core layer. A detailed analysis of the influence of a large number of parameters associated with the particular type of pressure pulses, panel geometry, fiber orientation in the face sheets and, presence of tensile uni/biaxial edge loads is accomplished, and pertinent conclusions are outlined.


The effect of a liquid layer overlying a solid half-space excited by harmonically varying stresses on the surface of an embedded spherical cavity is examined. The Stoneley waves along the liquid/solid interface are studied in some detail. The results are then extended to the case of an exponential shock.

Based on classical laminated plate theory and Navier solutions, the control of the piezoelastic laminated cylindrical shell’s dynamic response under hydrostatic pressure is discussed in this paper. Considering the direct and inverse piezoelectric effects of piezoelectric materials and from Hamilton’s principle, the nonlinear dynamic equations of the piezoelastic laminated cylindrical shell are derived first. Using close circuit method, the charge enclosed in the piezoelectric sensor layer can be measured. Furthermore, the voltage applied on the actuator layer can be obtained based on the closed-circuit charge signal of the sensor and velocity negative feedback control algorithm. An active dynamic response control model of simply supported laminated cylindrical shells with piezoelectric sensor/actuator under various dynamic loads is established in this paper at last. Three types of loading conditions, namely sinusoidal distributed load, line load and moving point load, are considered in numerical examples to investigate the performance of the control model. The numerical results show that the active control model presented in this paper can suppress the vibration of the structure under dynamic loading effectively.
