Nonlinear vibration analysis of multiscale doubly curved piezoelectric composite shell in hygrothermal environment

Abstract

This research studied large amplitude vibration behaviors of multiscale composites doubly curved shells with piezoelectric layer. By using Reddy’s third-order shear deformation theory, the strains and stresses are obtained. According to the Halpin–Tsai model three-phase composites layers are considered. The governing equations of the multiscale doubly curved shell are derived by implementing the Hamilton’s principle and are solved via homotopy perturbation method. For investigating correctness and accuracy, this article is validated by other previous studies. Finally, the influence of different parameters such as temperature rise, various distributions pattern, applied voltage, magnetic potential, and aspect and curvature ratio are observed in this article. It is found that these parameters have significant influence on nonlinear frequencies.
