Abstract

This study dealt with the dynamic stability and geometrical nonlinear problems of carbon nanotube/fiber/polymer composite (CNTFPC) cylindrical panels without or with delamination around a central cutout. A multiscale analysis using the Hewitt and Malherbe model was performed to determine the carbon nanotube (CNT) weight ratios, thickness–radius ratios, thickness–length ratios, and delamination area ratios around a cutout. A delamination around a central cutout was modeled in two dimensions by introducing continuity conditions of displacements at the delamination boundaries. The proposed approach in this study has been verified by previous studies. Parametric results showed the significance of a proper CNT ratio and curvature for better structural performance on the dynamic instability and nonlinearity of delaminated CNTFPC cylindrical panels.
