The influence of variable shell thickness on the vibrational behavior of composite sandwich conical shells with geodesic lattice cores. (English) Zbl 1535.74526
Summary: This paper investigates the vibrational behavior of sandwich conical shells with geodesic lattice core and variable skin thicknesses using analytical and numerical approaches. The filament wound conical shell has been considered to have varying skin thickness along the longitudinal direction. The smeared stiffener approach has been used to obtain the equivalent stiffness parameters due to the geodesic lattice core via the force and moment analyses of a unit cell. Superimposing the stiffness contribution of the stiffeners with those due to the inner and outer skins, one can calculate the equivalent stiffness of the whole structure. The equations of motion have been formulated based on the first-order shear deformation theory. The power series method has been implemented for extracting the natural frequencies of vibration. To validate the analytical results, a 3-D finite element model has been provided which is then used to conduct an extensive parametric study. The comparisons indicate an acceptable agreement between the two approaches. Moreover, the effect of variable skin thickness on the natural frequency has been examined. Furthermore, the influences of skin lamination angle, semi-vertex angle of the cone and stiffeners orientation angle have been discussed. The obtained results can be used for future relevant researches.
