This paper investigates the nonlinear vibration responses of laminated composite conical shells surrounded by elastic foundations under S-S and C-C boundary conditions via an approximate approach. The laminated composite conical shells are modeled based on classical shell theory of Love employing von Karman nonlinear theory. Nonlinear vibration equation of the conical shells is extracted by handling Lagrange method. The linear and nonlinear vibration responses are obtained via an approximate method which combines Lindstedt-Poincare method with modal analysis. The validation of this study is carried out through the comparison of the results of this study with results of published literature. The effects of several parameters including the constants of elastic foundations, boundary conditions, total thickness, length, large edge radius and semi-vertex angle on the values of fundamental linear frequency and curves of amplitude parameter versus nonlinear frequency ratio for laminated composite conical shells with both S-S and C-C boundary conditions are investigated.

This paper deals with the analysis of active constrained layer damping (ACLD) of smart skew laminated composite plates. The constraining layer of the ACLD treatment is composed of the vertically/obliquely reinforced 1–3 piezoelectric composites (PZCs). A finite element model has been developed for accomplishing the task of the active constrained layer damping of skew laminated symmetric and antisymmetric cross-ply and antisymmetric angle-ply composite plates integrated with the patches of such ACLD treatment. Both in-plane and out-of-plane actuations by the constraining layer of the ACLD treatment have been utilized for deriving the finite element model. The analysis revealed that the vertical actuation dominates over the in-plane actuation. Particular emphasis has been placed on investigating the performance of the patches when the orientation angle of the piezoelectric fibers of the constraining layer is varied in the two mutually orthogonal vertical planes. Also, the effects of varying the skew angle of the substrate laminated composite plates and different boundary conditions on the performance of the patches have been studied. The analysis reveals that the vertically and the obliquely reinforced 1–3 PZC materials should be used for achieving the best control authority of ACLD treatment, as the boundary conditions of the smart skew laminated composite plates are simply supported and clamped-clamped, respectively.
