Abstract

An asymptotic procedure is used to derive the nonlinear equations of motion governing the forced dynamic response of an arbitrarily laminated slightly compressible composite shell panel in cylindrical bending. A combination of the Galerkin procedure and the method of multiple time scales is used to construct a uniformly valid asymptotic expansion for the dynamic response of the panel under near-resonant external excitation, and in the presence of a two-to-one internal resonance condition. A qualitative analysis shows that there is a threshold value for the amplitude of excitation, above which the panel exhibits the saturation phenomenon in which the amplitude of the directly excited mode saturates and the coupled mode starts to respond nonlinearly and eventually dominates the response. The force-response curve also exhibits the jump phenomenon.
