A large amplitude vibration analysis is presented for nanocomposite doubly curved panels resting on elastic foundations in thermal environments. The doubly curved nanocomposite panels are studied with the consideration of different types of distributions of uniaxial aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The material properties of the functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced composites (FG-CNTRCs) are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction according to linear distributions of the volume fraction of CNTs and are estimated through a micromechanical model. The motion equations are based on a higher order shear deformation theory and von Kármán strain-displacement relationships. The thermal effects are also included and the material properties of CNTRCs are assumed to be temperature-dependent. The motion equations are solved by a two-step perturbation approach to determine the nonlinear frequencies of the CNTRC doubly curved panel. The numerical illustrations cover small- and large-amplitude vibration characteristics of CNTRC doubly curved panels resting on Pasternak elastic foundations. The present solutions also highlight the effects of CNT volume fraction, temperature variation, foundation stiffness, panel curvature ratio as well as in-plane boundary conditions on the nonlinear free vibration behaviors of CNTRC doubly curved panels.

Abstract A study on the large amplitude vibration of doubly curved graphene-reinforced composite (GRC) laminated panels is presented in this paper. A doubly curved panel is made of piece-wise GRC layers with functionally graded (FG) arrangement along the thickness direction of the panel. A GRC layer consists of polymer matrix reinforced by aligned graphene sheets. The material properties of the GRC layers are temperature dependent and can be estimated by the extended Halpin-Tsai micromechanical model. The modelling of the large amplitude vibration of the panels is based on the Reddy’s higher order shear deformation theory and the effects of the von Kármán geometric nonlinearity, the panel-foundation interaction and the temperature variation are included in the derivation of the motion equations of the panels. The solutions for the large amplitude vibration of the doubly curved FG-GRC laminated panels are obtained by applying a two-step perturbation approach. A parametric study is carried out to determine the influences of foundation stiffness, temperature variation, FG distribution pattern, in-plane boundary condition and panel curvature ratio on the natural frequencies and the nonlinear to linear frequency ratios of the doubly curved FG-GRC laminated panels.
