Abstract
This research delves into the theoretical exploration of the generalized differential quadrature element (GDQE) method for analyzing the dynamic response and natural frequency of aerospace structures, specifically polygonal channels found in aircraft, satellites, and space vehicle components. These structures are critical in aerospace engineering, serving in various capacities such as airframe components and fluid conveyance systems. Emphasizing the practical significance of these structures, the study incorporates the influence of ground or support conditions, employing a two-parameter piecewise elastic foundation model. The investigated open or closed channels are characterized as laminated functionally graded hybrid nanocomposites, specifically denoted as FG-HNC, reinforced with Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and Clay nanoparticles (CNP). Each composite layer is reinforced with randomly oriented and uniformly distributed tubes and particles. The homogenization of the hybrid composite domain is performed using the hierarchy Halpin-Tsai micromechanical rule. Utilizing the GDQE technique, the channels are discretized into plate elements, and motion equations for each plate element are calculated based on first-order shear deformation theory and Hamilton's principle. The resulting equations are then solved using the standard GDQ method, with subsequent application of appropriate continuity conditions at shared element boundaries. In this comprehensive study, the research scrutinizes the effects of structure dimensions, channel sides crank angles, composite characteristics, and boundary conditions on the free vibration behavior of the polygonal channels. By offering detailed insights into the vibrational characteristics of FG-HNC structures, this study contributes to the advancement of aerospace engineering design and analysis.
