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.

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.
