Dynamic stability response of truncated nanocomposite conical shell with magnetostrictive face sheets utilizing higher order theory of sandwich panels

Abstract

Present research is conducted in order to assess dynamic stability behavior of a nanocomposite sandwich truncated conical shells (NSTCS). In fact, graphene platelets (GPLs)-reinforced as core layer is encompassed through magnetostrictive layers as face sheets. For modeling the core layer and face sheets mathematically, higher order shear deformation theory (HSDT) besides first order shear deformation theory (FSDT) are utilized, respectively. To presume this sandwich structure much more realistic, Kelvin-Voigt model will be used. According to Hamilton's principle with respect to continuity boundary conditions, the governing equations are obtained. Utilizing differential cubature (DC) as well as Bolotin procedures, the governing equations will be solved and the region related to the dynamic instability is achieved. In this novel work, different variables covering various boundary edges, controller, cone's semi vertex angle, damping, feedback gain, proportion of core to face sheets thickness, dispersion kinds of GPLs and its volume percent will be studied. So as to indicate the accuracy of applied theories as well as methods, the results are collated with another paper. It is found that increment of GPLs volume percent leads to rise of excitation frequency.
