Abstract
ABSTRACTIn this article the supersonic flutter instability of delaminated carbon nanotube reinforced three-phase composite plate is investigated. The classical laminate plate theory and piston aerodynamic theory are developed to construct the governing equation of delaminated three-phase nano-composite plates. The effective material properties are obtained using Halpin-Tsai relation and rule of mixture. The effects of different parameters including carbon nanotubes (CNTs) weight percentage, fiber volume fraction, CNTs aspect ratio and different fiber orientation on flutter pressure of delaminated reinforced composite plates are considered. According to the results, appending small amount of CNTs (4% wt) into the matrix epoxy can improve the flutter critical pressure by 33% in comparison to the neat matrix epoxy.
