Abstract
In this study, a novel, dynamic model of a graphene-platelet-reinforced, porous (GPLRP) double-cylindrical-panel system is proposed. The material properties of a graphene-platelet-reinforced, porous, double-cylindrical-panel system were determined by the Halpin–Tsai micromechanics model and the typical mechanical properties of open-cell metal foams. Different types of porosity distribution and graphene platelet (GPL) distribution patterns were considered. Love’s shell theory was utilized to derive the theoretical formulation, and the Rayleigh–Ritz method was used to calculate the natural frequencies of the system. The proposed model was validated by several comparison studies with the natural frequencies in the existing literature. Finally, the effects of stiffness of Winkler springs, boundary condition, porosity coefficient, porosity distribution, GPL distribution pattern, and GPL weight fraction on the free vibration characteristics of the system were evaluated.
