A comprehensive computer simulation for frequency analysis of the annular system with a honeycomb core and angle-ply multiscale hybrid nanocomposite face sheets

Abstract

The honeycomb structures, due to minimal density, relative high out-of-plane compression properties, and out-of-plane shear properties, have attracted a lot of attention. Regarding this issue, in the current research, fundamental frequency analysis of the annular plate with two angle-ply multiscale hybrid nanocomposite face sheets and a honeycomb core is investigated. Halpin-Tsai as well as Hamilton’s principle, are presented for obtaining the effective material properties and governing equations of the presented composite system. For modeling the thermal environment, three-kind of thermal loading is presented. Also, the current structure is covered with the Kerr elastic foundation. The generalized differential quadrature method is presented for obtaining the exact fundamental frequency of the annular plate with two angle-ply multiscale hybrid nanocomposite face sheets and a honeycomb core. Finally, the result section is given to illustrate the influences of two angle-ply multiscale hybrid nanocomposite reinforcement, the geometry of honeycomb core, thermal loading, elastic foundation, the weight fraction of nanocomposites, and structural parameters of the annular plate on the fundamental frequency of the annular plate with two angle-ply multiscale hybrid nanocomposite face sheets and a honeycomb core. The outcomes of the current report show that for the clamped edge in the boundary conditions and each increasing is a reason for falling down the frequency of the annular plate with a honeycomb core. Another consequence is that the impact of temperature changes on the frequency of the disk is hardly dependent on the fiber angle.
