We propose a coupled thermoelastic approach based on the Lord-Shulman (L-S) and Maxwell’s formulations to study the wave propagation in functionally graded (FG) cylindrical panels with piezoelectric layers under a thermal shock loading. The material properties of the FG core layer feature a graded distribution throughout the thickness and vary according to a simple power law. A layerwise differential quadrature method (LW-DQM) is combined with a non-uniform rational B-spline (NURBS) multi-step time integration scheme to discretize the governing equations both in the spatial and time domains. The compatibility conditions of the physical quantities are enforced at the interfaces to describe their structural behavior in a closed form. A validation and comparative analysis with the available literature, together with a convergence study, show the efficiency and stability of the proposed method to handle thermoelastic problems. Numerical applications are herein performed systematically to check for the sensitivity of the thermoelastic response to the material graded index, piezoelectric layer thickness, external electrical voltage, opening angle, and shock thermal loading, which would be very helpful for practical engineering applications.

AbstractFree vibration analysis of functionally graded (FG) curved panels integrated with piezoelectric layers under various boundary conditions is studied. A panel with two opposite edges is simply supported, and arbitrary boundary conditions at the other edges are considered. Two different models of material property variations based on the power law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents and the exponential law distribution of the material properties through the thickness are considered. Based on the three-dimensional theory of elasticity, an approach combining the state space method and the differential quadrature method (DQM) is used. For the simply supported boundary conditions, closed-form solution is given by making use of the Fourier series expansion, and applying the differential quadrature method to the state space formulations along the axial direction, new state equations about state variables at discrete points are obtained for the other cases such as clamped or free-end conditions. Natural frequencies of the hybrid curved panels are presented by solving the eigenfrequency equation, which can be obtained by using edges boundary conditions in this state equation. The results obtained for only FGM shell is verified by comparing the natural frequencies with the results obtained in the literature.

Stability and bifurcation behaviors for a model of simply supported functionally graded materials rectangular plate subjected to the transversal and in-plane excitations are studied by means of combination of analytical and numerical methods. The resonant case considered here is 1 : 1 internal resonances and primary parametric resonance. Two types of degenerated equilibrium points are studied in detail, which are characterized by a double zero and two negative eigenvalues, and a double zero and a pair of pure imaginary eigenvalues. For each case, the stability regions of the initial equilibrium solution and the critical bifurcation curves are obtained in terms of the system parameters which may lead to Hopf bifurcation and 2D torus. With both analytical and numerical methods, bifurcation behaviors on damping parameters and detuning parameters are studied, respectively. A time integration scheme is used to find the numerical solutions for these bifurcation cases, and numerical results agree with the analytic predictions.

This article investigates the flexural vibration of temperature-dependent and carbon nanotube-reinforced (CNTR) cylindrical shells made of functionally graded (FG) porous materials under various kinds of thermal loadings. The equivalent material properties of the cylindrical shell of concern are estimated using the rule of mixture. Both the cases of uniform distribution (UD) and FG distribution patterns of reinforcements are considered. Thermo-mechanical properties of the cylindrical shell are supposed to vary through the thickness and are estimated using the modified power-law rule, by which the porosities with even and uneven types are approximated. As the porosities occur inside the FG materials during the manufacturing process, it is necessary to consider their impact on the vibration behavior of shells. The present study is featured by consideration of different types of porosities in various CNT reinforcements under various boundary conditions in a single model. The governing equations and boundary conditions are developed using Hamilton's principle and solved by the generalized differential quadrature method. The accuracy of the present results is verified by comparison with existing ones and those by Navier's method. The results show that the length to radius ratio and temperature, as well as CNT reinforcement, porosity, thermal loading, and boundary conditions, play an important role on the natural frequency of the cylindrical shell of concern in thermal environment.

This paper presents a parametric study on aeroelastic stability analysis of multi-layered functionally graded carbon nanotubes reinforced composite (FG-CNTRC) cylindrical panels subjected to a yawed supersonic flow. The panel is considered to be composed of different layers reinforced by carbon nanotubes arranged in different directions with various patterns and different volume fractions. Reddy’s third-order shear deformation theory (TSDT) is employed to model the structure and external pressure is estimated based on the linear supersonic piston theory. The set of governing equations and boundary conditions are derived using Hamilton’s principle and are solved numerically using generalized differential quadrature method (GDQM). Convergence and accuracy of the presented solution are confirmed and effect of volume fraction, distributions and orientation of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), yaw angle and geometrical parameters of the panel on the flutter boundaries are investigated. Results of this paper can be considered as a useful tool in design and analysis of supersonic airplanes and missiles.
