Nonlinear dynamic behaviors of ceramic-metal graded truncated conical shell subjected to complex loads are investigated. The shell is modeled by first-order shear deformation theory. The nonlinear partial differential governing equation in terms of transverse displacements of the FGM truncated conical shell is derived from the Hamilton's principle. Galerkin's method is then utilized to discretize the partial governing equations to a two-degree-of-freedom nonlinear ordinary differential equation. The temperature-dependent materials properties of the constituents are graded in the radial direction in accordance with a power-law distribution. The aerodynamic pressure can be calculated by using the first-order piston theory. The temperature field is assumed to be a steady-state constant-temperature distribution. Bifurcation diagrams, the maximum Lyapunov exponents, wave forms and phase portraits are obtained by numerical simulation to demonstrate the complex nonlinear dynamics response of the FGM truncated conical shell. The influences of the semi-vertex angle, the material gradient index, in-plane and aerodynamic load on the nonlinear dynamics are studied.

AbstractIn this study, the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) is used to establish a nonlinear dynamic model for a conical shell truncated by a functionally graded graphene platelet-reinforced composite (FG-GPLRC). The vibration analyses of the FG-GPLRC truncated conical shell are presented. Considering the graphene platelets (GPLs) of the FG-GPLRC truncated conical shell with three different distribution patterns, the modified Halpin-Tsai model is used to calculate the effective Young’s modulus. Hamilton’s principle, the FSDT, and the von-Karman type nonlinear geometric relationships are used to derive a system of partial differential governing equations of the FG-GPLRC truncated conical shell. The Galerkin method is used to obtain the ordinary differential equations of the truncated conical shell. Then, the analytical nonlinear frequencies of the FG-GPLRC truncated conical shell are solved by the harmonic balance method. The effects of the weight fraction and distribution pattern of the GPLs, the ratio of the length to the radius as well as the ratio of the radius to the thickness of the FG-GPLRC truncated conical shell on the nonlinear natural frequency characteristics are discussed. This study culminates in the discovery of the periodic motion and chaotic motion of the FG-GPLRC truncated conical shell.

Based on the first-order shear deformation theory, this paper focuses on the free vibration behavior of two-dimensional functionally graded material truncated conical shells resting on Winkler–Pasternak foundations. The materials are assumed to be isotropic and inhomogeneous in the length and thickness directions of truncated conical shell. The material properties of the truncated conical shell are varied in these directions according to power law functions. The derived governing equations are solved using differential quadrature method. Convergence of this method is checked and the fast rate of convergence is observed. The primary results of this study are obtained for ( SS− SL), ( CS− CL), and ( CS− SL) boundary conditions and compared with those available in the literatures. Furthermore, effects of geometrical parameters, material power indexes, mechanical boundary conditions, Winkler and Pasternak foundation moduli on the nondimensional frequency parameters of the two-dimensional functionally graded material truncated conical shell are studied.

Structures composed of functionally graded materials (FGM) can satisfy many rigorous requisitions in engineering application. In this paper, the nonlinear dynamics of a simply supported FGM conical panel with different forms of initial imperfections are investigated. The conical panel is subjected to the simple harmonic excitation along the radial direction and the parametric excitation in the meridian direction. The small initial geometric imperfection of the conical panel is expressed by the form of the Cosine functions. According to a power-law distribution, the effective material properties are assumed to be graded along the thickness direction. Based on the first-order shear deformation theory and von Karman type nonlinear geometric relationship, the nonlinear equations of motion are established by using the Hamilton principle. The nonlinear partial differential governing equations are truncated by Galerkin method to obtain the ordinary differential equations along the radial displacement. The effects of imperfection types, half-wave numbers of the imperfection, amplitudes of the imperfection, and damping on the dynamic behaviors are studied by numerical simulation. Maximum Lyapunov exponents, bifurcation diagrams, time histories, phase portraits, and Poincare maps are obtained to show the dynamic responses of the system.

Abstract The objective to alleviate the detrimental effects of supersonic flutter of aerospace structures necessitates the development of advanced composite materials. Porous functionally graded materials are viable alternatives to replace the metal/alloys used for critical components. The present work investigates the supersonic flutter characteristics of hinged-hinged panel for the porosity grading across the thickness and/or along the streamwise direction. Also, the possibility to alleviate the detrimental effects is investigated through the study of influence of streamwise and spanwise curvatures. A geometrically nonlinear finite element model of panel is derived using first-order shear deformation theory while the aerodynamic pressure on panel is accounted using the first-order piston theory. The results revealed that symmetric distribution of porosity with minimum porosity at the midspan and maximum porosity at core displays the better performance. Porosity and streamwise curvature reduces critical aerodynamic pressure and enhances flutter amplitude. For higher streamwise curvatures/porosity, panel undergoes snap-through buckling resulting in complex vibrations. Whereas the spanwise curvature substantially enhance the critical dynamic pressure thereby eliminates complex oscillations and snap-through. But moderately increases the flutter amplitude and frequency beyond its critical aerodynamic pressure. At higher spanwise curvatures, the effectiveness of bidirectional grading decreases making its through-thickness grading as dominant.

In this paper, the first order shear deformation theory is used to derive an analytical formulation for shrink-fitted thick-walled functionally graded cylinders. It is assumed that the cylinders have constant Poisson’s ratio and the elastic modulus varies radially along the thickness with a power function. Furthermore, a finite element simulation is carried out using COMSOL Multiphysics, which has the advantage of defining material properties as analytical functions. The results from first order shear deformation theory are compared with the findings of both plane elasticity theory and FE simulation. The results of this study could be used to design and manufacture for elastic shrink-fitted FG cylinders.

This paper describes a unified solution to investigate free vibration solutions of functionally graded (FG) spherical shell with general boundary restraints. The analytical model is established based on the first-order shear deformation theory, and the material varies uniformly along the thickness of FG spherical shell which is divided into several sections along the meridian direction. The displacement functions along circumferential and axial direction are, respectively, composed by Fourier series and Jacobi polynomial regardless of boundary restraints. The boundary restraints of FG spherical shell can be easily simulated according to penalty method of spring stiffness technique, and the vibration solutions are obtained by Rayleigh–Ritz method. To verify the reliability and accuracy of the present solutions, the convergence and numerical verification have been conducted about different boundary parameters, Jacobi parameter, etc. The results obtained by the present method closely agree with those obtained from the published literatures, experiments, and finite element method (FEM). The impacts of geometric dimensions and boundary conditions on the vibration characteristics of FG spherical shell structure are also presented.
