Abstract
This investigation analyzes the effects of internal static fluid on the free vibrational behavior of joined shells made of carbon nanotube (CNT) fiber‐reinforced composite. Various types of functionally graded CNTs composite with temperature dependence are considered. Classic shell theory and Love’s assumptions combined with Hamilton’s principle are used to obtain motion equations. Bernoulli equation, velocity potential, and impermeability condition are employed to the coupling effects of fluid pressure with motion equations of shells. Continuity conditions in the joint point of conical and cylindrical sections are supposed to couple equations of two parts. The generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) method is employed to solve equations for various boundary conditions. Experimental modal tests on a sample made by the 3-D printer and prior others’ research are used to validate the accuracy of results. Consequently, parametric studies are expressed, such as longitudinal and circumferential mode numbers, semi-vertex angle, distributions of CNTs, CNTs fraction volumes, fluid density, shell thickness, and operating temperature. According to the results, although fluid decreases the frequency generally, the process of changing frequency in terms of other parameters is similar.
