Abstract

In this study, the solution of the nonlinear forced vibration (NFV) problem of double curvature panels consisting of inhomogeneous (INH) nanocomposite (NC) layers is discussed within first order shear deformation theory (FSDT), taking into account the viscous damping effect. First, the mechanical properties of laminated double curvature panels composed of carbon nanotube patterned layers are modeled mathematically. Then, based on FSDT with a von Kármán-type nonlinearity derived the nonlinear basic relationships and partial differential equations (PDEs). The expression for the NFV frequency of multilayer panels made of inhomogeneous nanocomposite layers (INHNCLs) is obtained within FSDT, using the multi-scale method to the nonlinear PDEs for the first time. Finally, the influences of the external excitation, nonlinearity, transverse shear strains, number and arrangement of layers and CNT-models on the forced vibration frequencies are studied in detail.
