Structural Acoustic Control

This article deals with the active structural-acoustic control of composite truncated circular conical shells using active constrained layer damping (ACLD) treatment. The constraining layer of the ACLD treatment is made of vertically/obliquely reinforced 1–3 piezoelectric composite (PZC) material. A finite element model of smart laminated truncated conical shells backed by the acoustic cavity and integrated with the patches of such ACLD treatment has been developed to demonstrate the performance of these patches for active structural-acoustic control of symmetric and antisymmetric cross-ply and antisymmetric angle-ply truncated conical laminated shells. Both velocity and pressure rate feedback control laws have been implemented to activate the patches. Particular emphasis has also been placed on investigating the effect of variation of piezoelectric fiber orientation angle in the constraining layer on the performance of the patches.

The free vibration behavior of sandwich conical shells with reinforced cores is investigated in the present study using experimental, analytical, and numerical methods. A new effective smeared method is employed to superimpose the stiffness contribution of skins with those of the stiffener in order to achieve equivalent stiffness of the whole structure. The stiffeners are also considered as a beam to support shear forces and bending moments in addition to the axial forces. Using Donnell’s shell theory and Galerkin method, the natural frequencies of the sandwich shell are subsequently derived. To validate analytical results, experimental modal analysis (EMA) is further conducted on the conical sandwich shell. For this purpose, a method is designed for manufacturing specimens through the filament winding process. For more validation, a finite element model (FEM) is built. The results revealed that all the validations were in good agreement with each other. Based on these analyses, the influence of the cross-sectional area of the stiffeners, the semi-vertex angle of the cone, stiffener orientation angle, and the number of stiffeners are investigated as well. The results achieved are novel and can be thus employed as a benchmark for further studies.

In this paper, natural frequencies of laminated composite plates were studied. The layerwise finite element model is imposed to determine the natural frequencies of laminated composite plates. The effects of panel orientation angle, elastic modulus ratio and width-depth ratio on the natural frequencies of the laminated composite are then discussed. With an example of a sixteen-laying laminated plate, the numerical simulations show that the factor of key structural parameters to the natural frequencies of the laminated composite plate is panel orientation angle and width-depth ratio.

Active Constrained Layer

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.

Radiation Amplitude

In this paper, the acoustic radiation mode’s amplitudes of laminated composite plates are studied. The layer wise finite element model is imposed to determine velocity distributions of laminated composite plates. Based on the acoustic radiation mode, the effects of the panel orientation angle on the first three orders acoustic radiation mode’s amplitude of the laminated composite plates are then discussed. A twelve-layer laminated plate was used as an example, and the numerical simulations results show that the effects of the panel orientation angle on the acoustic radiation amplitude of the laminated composite plates are significant.
