Abstract

This work deals with the investigation of the effect of porosity on the natural frequencies of the rotating pretwisted sandwich blade with a functionally graded core in the thermal environment. The top metallic and the bottom ceramic surfaces are exposed to ambient temperature and high inlet temperature, respectively. A finite element approach using a layerwise theory is developed. Two different porosity distributions are assumed here. The effect of the volume fraction index, rotational velocity, porosity model and temperature gradient on the natural frequencies of the pretwisted sandwich blade is studied.
