Abstract
This article investigates the static and dynamic buckling behavior of a double-curved sandwich shell composed of two layers via improved first-order shear deformation theory without using the shear correction is utilized to model the sandwich shell. The sandwich two-layer shell are held together by elastic pins, each layer made from an ultra-light auxetic honeycomb core layer (negative Poisson’s ratio) and is reinforced by a layer of tri-phase polymer, graphene nanoplatelets (GNP), and fiber. The double-curved sandwich shell is supported by a Kerr elastic medium in hygro-thermal environment assuming that temperature and humidity only cause forces to be applied tangentially to the shell and do not change the mechanical properties of the shell material. The motion equations of sandwich two-layer shell are derived by Hamilton’s principle, then the finite element method and Bolotin method are used to derive the dynamic instability region of sandwich two-layer shell. The accuracy of these results is confirmed by a comparison with established statements within the specific conditions of the problem model. The influence of inputs on the static and dynamic stability of sandwich two-layer shell is fully explored and discussed. Additionally, this serves as a crucial foundation for the calculation and design of structures that can integrate a variety of materials with different properties with low cost and simplification.
