Abstract

Dynamic response of fiber metal laminate cylindrical shells subjected to initial combined axial load and internal pressure were studied in this paper. First order shear deformation theory (FSDT) was utilized in the shell’s equilibrium equations and strain–displacement relations were based on Love’s first approximation theory. Equilibrium equations for buckling, free and forced vibration problems of the shell were solved using Galerkin method. The influences of FML parameters such as material properties lay up, Metal Volume Fraction (MVF), fiber orientation and initial stresses on dynamic response were investigated. The results were indicated that the FML lay up, has a significant effect on natural frequencies as well as transient dynamic response with respect to various values of MVF as well as pre-stress.
