Abstract

In this article, free vibration of rotating fiber–metal laminate thin circular cylindrical shells has been analyzed. Strain–displacement relations have been obtained based on Love’s first approximation shell theory. The variations of frequencies of the fiber–metal laminate cylindrical shell with rotational speeds for different axial and circumferential wave numbers, L/R ratios, metal thicknesses and volume fractions of metal have been presented. Also, free vibrations of the rotating fiber–metal laminate shell have been studied for carbon/epoxy, glass/epoxy and aramid/epoxy composite materials combining thin aluminum layers. The results showed that with increasing rotating speed, the gap between backward and forward waves frequencies increased.
