Stability and free vibration analyses of double-bonded micro composite sandwich cylindrical shells conveying fluid flow

In this study, based on Reddy cylindrical double-shell theory, the free vibration and stability analyses of double-bonded micro composite sandwich cylindrical shells reinforced by carbon nanotubes conveying fluid flow under magneto-thermo-mechanical loadings using modified couple stress theory are investigated. It is assumed that the cylindrical shells with foam core rested in an orthotropic elastic medium and the face sheets are made of composites with temperature-dependent material properties. Also, the Lorentz functions are applied to simulation of magnetic field in the thickness direction of each face sheets. Then, the governing equations of motions are obtained using Hamilton's principle. Moreover, the generalized differential quadrature method is used to discretize the equations of motions and solve them. There are a good agreement between the obtained results from this method and the previous studies. Numerical results are presented to predict the effects of size-dependent length scale parameter, third order shear deformation theory, magnetic intensity, length-to-radius and thickness ratios, Knudsen number, orthotropic foundation, temperature changes and carbon nanotubes volume fraction on the natural frequencies and critical flow velocity of cylindrical shells. Also, it is demonstrated that the magnetic intensity, temperature changes and carbon nanotubes volume fraction have important effects on the behavior of micro composite sandwich cylindrical shells. So that, increasing the magnetic intensity, volume fraction and Winkler spring constant lead to increase the dimensionless natural frequency and stability of micro shells, while this parameter reduce by increasing the temperature changes. It is noted that sandwich structures conveying fluid flow are used as sensors and actuators in smart devices and aerospace industries. Moreover, carotid arteries play an important role to high blood rate control that they have a similar structure with flow conveying cylindrical shells. In fact, the present study can be provided a valuable background for more research and further experimental investigation.     

Closed-form elasticity solution for smart curved sandwich panels with soft core

Due to the rapid development of intelligent engineering structure, the demand for high performance smart structures has been increased in recent years. In this paper, an exact elasticity solution for bending analysis of sandwich panel with generally orthotropic facings and core is developed. Two electro-orthotropic piezoelectric layers in the top and bottom surfaces of sandwich panel as sensor and actuator are considered. From practical point of view, an initially curved sectorial geometry is considered for smart sandwich panel. In this regard, the constitutive relations and governing equations are considered in polar coordinate and coupled Euler–Cauchy Equations are derived. The characteristic equations are determined and closed-form basis functions of displacements and stresses are achieved for various material and geometrical conditions.Furthermore, based on classical and first-order shell theories, the governing equations of smart curved sandwich panels are derived. The governing equations are solved analytically and compared with exact elasticity solution.Several parametric studies are performed on both material and geometrical properties such as angular span, facing and core thickness, and external electrical voltage.     

Electro-dynamic analysis of smart nanoclay-reinforced plates with integrated piezoelectric layers

Integrating engineering structures with piezoelectric layers as actuator and/or sensor offers smart sandwich structures with controllable static and dynamic deflections. In this paper, a smart sandwich plate consisting of a light nanoclay-reinforced composite core and two piezoelectric face sheets is considered. The static and dynamic behaviors of the proposed smart plate are obtained using their governing coupled electro-mechanical system of equations. In order to facilitate the governing equations, a mesh-free method based on moving least square (MLS) shape function and first order shear deformation (FSDT) is developed and implemented. Two morphologies of intercalated stack and exfoliated nanoclay dispersions are considered in the distribution of the nanoclay into the polymeric matrix. The effects of morphology and volume fraction of the nanoclay, time-dependent loading, and essential boundary condition on the static and dynamic behavior of the smart piezoelectric-integrated nanocomposite plates are examined. In the dynamic analysis, resonance and amplitude modulation phenomena are studied. It is observed that the use of nanoclay, especially with exfoliated morphology, improves the static and the free vibration responses of the smart sandwich plates. Moreover, the frequency of the applied mechanical load has a significant effect on the electro-dynamic response of the proposed smart sandwich plates.

Analytical analysis of buckling and post-buckling of fluid conveying multi-walled carbon nanotubes

In this work, buckling and post-buckling analysis of fluid conveying multi-walled carbon nanotubes are investigated analytically. The nonlinear governing equations of motion and boundary conditions are derived based on Eringen nonlocal elasticity theory. The nanotube is modeled based on Euler–Bernoulli and Timoshenko beam theories. The Von Karman strain–displacement equation is used to model the structural nonlinearities. Furthermore, the Van der Waals interaction between adjacent layers is taken into account. An analytical approach is employed to determine the critical (buckling) fluid flow velocities and post-buckling deflection. The effects of the small-scale parameter, Van der Waals force, ends support, shear deformation and aspect ratio are carefully examined on the critical fluid velocities and post-buckling behavior.

Free-edge effects in a cylindrical sandwich panel with a flexible core and laminated composite face sheets

In the present study, the static response of cylindrical sandwich panels with a flexible core is investigated. The face sheets are considered as composite laminates with a cross-ply lay-up and the core as a flexible elastic medium. The flexibility of the low-strength core leads to high stress concentrations in terms of peeling stresses between the face sheets and the core at edges of the sandwich panel. To take into account the compressibility of the core and to determine the free-edge stresses of sandwich structures accurately, the Reddy layerwise theory (LWT) is used in this paper. The paper outlines the mathematical formulation, along with a numerical study, of a cylindrical sandwich panel with two simply supported and two free edges under a transverse load. The formulation includes the derivation of field equations along with boundary conditions. A Levy-type solution procedure is performed to determine the distributions of stresses and strains. In the numerical study, first a comparison is made with results from the commercial finite-element software ANSYS to verify the LWT results. Finally, a parametric study is conducted, and the effect caused by varying different parameters, such as the radii of curvature and the core to face sheet thickness ratio, on the results are investigated. The results obtained demonstrate a good agreement between LWT and FEM solutions and show increasing interlaminar stresses in the free edge of the sandwich panel

The present work deals with the problem of the nonlinear vibrations of multi-walled carbon nanotubes embedded in an elastic medium. A multiple-beam model is utilized in which the governing equations of each layer are coupled with those of its adjacent ones via the van der Waals interlayer force.

The vibrations of a thin elastic orthotropic circular cylindrical shell with free and hinged edges

The problem of the existence of natural oscillations of a thin elastic orthotropic circular closed cylindrical shell with free and hinge-mounted ends and of an open cylindrical shell with free and hinge-mounted edges, when the two boundary generatrices are hinge-mounted is investigated. Dispersion equations and asymptotic formulae for finding the natural frequencies of possible vibration modes are obtained using the system of equations corresponding to the classical theory of orthotropic cylindrical shells. A mechanism is proposed by means of which the vibrations can be separated into possible types. Approximate values of the dimensionless characteristic of the natural frequency and the attenuation characteristic of the corresponding vibration modes are obtained using the examples of closed and open orthotropic cylindrical shells of different lengths.     

Nonlinear vibration and instability of embedded double-walled boron nitride nanotubes based on nonlocal cylindrical shell theory

This paper investigates the nonlinear vibration and instability of the embedded double-walled boron nitride nanotubes (DWBNNTs) conveying viscous fluid based on nonlocal piezoelasticity cylindrical shell theory. The elastic medium is simulated as Winkler–Pasternak foundation, and adjacent layers interactions are assumed to have been coupled by van der Walls (vdW) force evaluated based on the Lennard–Jones model. The nonlinear strain terms based on Donnell’s theory are taken into account. The Hamilton’s principle is employed to obtain coupled differential equations, containing displacement and electric potential terms. Differential quadrature method (DQM) is applied to estimate the nonlinear frequency and critical fluid velocity for clamped supported mechanical and free electric potential boundary conditions at both ends of the DWBNNTs. Results indicated that some parameters including nonlocal parameter, elastic medium’s modulus, aspect ratio and vdW force have significant influence on the vibration and instability of the DWBNNT while the fluid viscosity effect is negligible. In addition, the low aspect ratio should be taken into account for DWBNNT in optimum design of nano/micro devices.     

Exact solutions of functionally graded piezoelectric material sandwich cylinders by a modified Pagano method

The three-dimensional (3D) coupled analysis of simply-supported, functionally graded piezoelectric material (FGPM) circular hollow sandwich cylinders under electro-mechanical loads is presented. The material properties of each FGPM layer are regarded as heterogeneous through the thickness coordinate, and obey an exponent-law dependent on this. The Pagano method is modified to be feasible for the study of FGPM sandwich cylinders. The modifications are as follows: a displacement-based formulation is replaced by a mixed formulation; a set of the complex-valued solutions of the system equations is transferred to the corresponding set of real-valued solutions; a successive approximation method is adopted to approximately transform each FGPM layer into a multilayered piezoelectric one with an equal and small thickness for each layer in comparison with the mid-surface radius, and with the homogeneous material properties determined in an average thickness sense; and a transfer matrix method is developed, so that the general solutions of the system equations can be obtained layer-by-layer, which is significantly less time-consuming than the usual approach. A parametric study is undertaken of the influence of the aspect ratio, open- and closed-circuit surface conditions, and material-property gradient index on the assorted field variables induced in the FGPM sandwich cylinders.     

Free vibration analysis of carbon nanotube-reinforced functionally graded composite shell structures

This paper deals with free vibration analysis of functionally graded composite shell structures reinforced by carbon nanotubes. Uniform and three distributions of carbon nanotubes which are graded in the thickness direction of the structure are considered. The effective material properties are determined via a micro-mechanical model using some efficiency parameters. The equations of motion are developed based on a discrete double directors shell finite element formulation which introduces the transverse shear deformations via a higher-order distribution of the displacement field. Comparison studies are carried out for various functionally graded composite shell structures reinforced by carbon nanotubes in order to highlight the applicability and the efficiency of the proposed model in the prediction of the vibrational behavior of such shell structures.     

Approximate solutions to the nonlinear vibrations of multiwalled carbon nanotubes using Adomian decomposition method

This paper applies the Adomian decomposition method (ADM) to the search for the approximate solutions to the problem of the nonlinear vibrations of multiwalled carbon nanotubes embedded in an elastic medium. A multiple-beam model is utilized in which the governing equations of each layer are coupled with those of its adjacent ones via the van der Waals inter layer forces. The amplitude–frequency curves for large-amplitude vibrations of single-walled, double-walled and triple-walled carbon nanotubes are obtained. The influence of changes in material constants of the surrounding elastic medium and the effect of changes in nanotube geometrical parameters on the vibration characteristics are studied by comparing the results with those from the open literature. This method needs less work in comparison with the traditional methods and decreases considerable volume of calculation, and it’s powerful mathematical tool for solving wide class of nonlinear differential equations. Special attention is given to prove the convergence of the method. Some examples are given to illustrate the determination approximate solutions of the proposed problem.     

Analyzing of the effect of the dusty fluid,anisotropy and layered of the wall on the wave propagation

This study considers the propagation of time harmonic waves in, prestressed, anisotropic elastic tubes filled with viscous fluid containing dusty particles. The fluid is assumed to be incompressible and Newtonian. The tube material is considered to be incompressible, anisotropic, and elastic. The tube is subjected to a static inner pressure P_i and an axial stretch λ. Utilizing the theory of “Superposing small deformations on large initial static deformations”, differential equations governing wave propagation inside the tube are obtained in terms of cylindrical coordinates. Analytical solutions for the equations of motion for the dust and the fluid are obtained, and expressed numerically. The dispersion relation is obtained as a function of the stretch, the thickness ratio and the parameters for dusty particles.
