Abstract

AbstractIn this study, a set of generalized nonlinear equations of motion for Timoshenko composite shafts is derived using the geometrically exact approach. These partial differential equations of motion are discretized by Galerkin method and the free vibration of an orthotropic spinning shaft with hinged‐hinged boundary conditions is investigated using the multiple‐scale method. We find that in the case of two mode discretization, composite couplings can have significant linear and nonlinear effects on the behavior of the shaft and that these effects were not predictable in the classical model. Also, in the investigating of composite layering we find that the effects of the fibers angle as well as the composite couplings can be noticeable, and these effects are greater in the case of the asymmetrical layering.
