Vietnam Journal of Mechanics, VAST, Vol. 35, No. 1 (2013), pp. 17 – 30 NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF FREE VIBRATION OF CROSS-PLY THICK LAMINATED COMPOSITE CYLINDRICAL SHELLS BY CONTINUOUS ELEMENT METHOD Ta Thi Hien, Tran Ich Thinh, Nguyen Manh Cuong Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Vietnam Abstract. This paper presents the vibration analysis of thick laminated composite cylin- drical shells by a new approach using the Continuous Element Method (CEM). Based on the analytical solutions for the differential equations of thick composite cylindrical shell taking into account shear deflection effects, the dynamic transfer matrix is built from which natural frequencies are easily calculated. A computer program is developed for performing numerical calculations and results from specific cases are presented. Nu- merical results of this work are compared with published analytical and Finite Element Method (FEM) results. Through different examples, advantages of CEM are confirmed: reduced size of model, higher precision, reduced time of computation and larger range of studied frequencies. Keywords: Free vibration, continuous element method, dynamic stiffness matrix, thick laminated composite cylindrical shell, dynamic transfer matrix. 1. INTRODUCTION With the increasing use of composites as structural elements, studies on the vi- bration of laminated composite cylindrical shells receive a considerable attention. In the literature, various solution methods based on different beams, plates and shells theories have been applied to the vibration analysis of metallic and composite structures: analyt- ical approaches [1, 2, 3, 4], mode superposition method [5], spline function method [6], wave-train closure principle [7], Rayleigh–Ritz method [8], finite element method (FEM) [9, 10] etc. The FEM is certainly one of the most popular methods used for analyzing composite structures. However, it is well known that a sufficiently large number of finite elements is inevitable in order to obtain reliable structural dynamic responses owing to their high flexibility and large size, especially at high frequency. Thus it may require high cost as well as a great amount of computer time. Furthermore, the modal analysis used in conjunc- tion with the FEM is limited to frequency regimes where the relative spacing of natural frequencies remains large compared with the relative parameter uncertainty [11]. Thus, recently, special techniques such as equivalent continuum method [12, 13], dynamic stiff- ness method [5, 14], transfer matrix method [15, 16], spectral element method [17] and 18 Ta Thi Hien, Tran Ich Thinh, Nguyen Manh Cuong continuous element method (CEM) [18, 19, 20] have been proposed to cope with such difficulties. In direct line, the CEM can be related to the dynamic stiffness method using the characteristic functions of structures. Elementary or refined theories which take into account many effects (inertia, shear, warping, etc.) for beams as well as for plates and shells can be used. In the framework of an elastodynamic theory and with a given set of boundary conditions, it is possible, for a simple, element geometry (for example, rectan- gular or triangular plate), to obtain the exact solution of the vibration problem [21]. More recently, several kinds of continuous element have been presented for dynamic analysis of some metallic structures. These elements concern straight isotropic beams, curved beams [21], isotropic thin plates [18] and isotropic axisymmetric shells [19]. In [19] a procedure to obtain the dynamic stiffness matrix of an axisymmetric shell is presented. The dynamic stiffness relationship is written according to a series expansion of the displacement and force components and an integration of the dynamic transfer relationship. In the above- mentioned works, the lack of discretization implied that loadings had to be defined on boundaries. The topology of the structure and the layout of the concentrated loads loca- tion determined the necessary number of continuous elements to be used. The procedure presented in [19] was extended to the case of distributed loads in the recent paper [20]. To the authors’ knowledge, in the literature available, no numerical solutions have been presented for the study on free vibration of thick laminated composite cylindrical shells by using CEM. This paper presents a continuous element model based on the first-order shear de- formation theory for the free vibration of cross-ply thick laminated composite cylindrical shells with combinations of clamped, free, and simply supported boundary conditions. The method is used to obtain the dynamic stiffness matrix in order to determine natural frequencies of laminated composite shells which takes into account both the rotary inertia and shear deformations effects. The accuracy of the present model is numerically evalu- ated by comparing the solutions with those obtained by using the conventional FEM or analytical method. 2. FORMULATION OF THICK CROSS-PLY LAMINATED COMPOSITE CYLINDRICAL SHELLS 2.1. Kinematics of cylindrical shells Consider a thick circular cylindrical shell of length L, thickness h and radius R (see Fig.1 ). The shell consists of a finite number of layers which are perfectly bonded together. Following Reissner-Mindlin assumption, the displacement components are assumed to be u(x, θ, z, t) = u0(x, θ, t) + zφx(x, θ, t), v(x, θ, z, t) = v0(x, θ, t) + zφθ(x, θ, t), w(x, θ, z, t) = w0(x, θ, t), (1) where u, v and w are the displacement components in the x, θ and z directions, respectively, u0 and v0 are the in-plane displacements of the shell in the mid-plane, and φx and φθ are the shear rotations of any point on the middle surface of the shell.

Laminated composite cylindrical shell relations of cylindrical shell of radius R can be written as εx = ∂u0 ∂x + z ∂φx ∂x , εθ = 1 R ∂v0 ∂θ + z R ∂φθ ∂θ + w0 R , γxθ = 1 R ∂u0 ∂θ + ∂v0 ∂x + z ( 1 R ∂φx ∂θ + ∂φθ ∂x ) , γxz = φx + ∂w0 ∂x , γθz = φθ + 1 R ∂w0 ∂θ − v0 R . (2) 2.2. Lamina constitutive relations Consider a composite shell composed of N orthotropic layers of uniform thickness with the principal material axis of the kth layer is oriented at an angle α with the x axis. The stress-strain relations of the kth layer by neglecting the transverse normal strain and stress, are written as   σ (k) x σ (k) θ τ (k) xθ τ (k) θz τ (k) xz   =   Q (k) 11 Q (k) 12 Q (k) 16 0 0 Q (k) 12 Q (k) 22 Q (k) 26 0 0 Q (k) 16 Q (k) 26 Q (k) 66 0 0 0 0 0 Q (k) 44 Q (k) 45 0 0 0 Q (k) 45 Q (k) 55     ε (k) x ε (k) θ γ (k) xθ γ (k) θz γ (k) xz   (3) where Q (k) ij are the transformed stiffness and Qij are the lamina stiffness referred to prin- cipal material coordinates of the kth lamina [22]. 2.3.

For general cross-ply composite laminated cylindrical shells (A16 = A26 = A45 = B16 = B26 = D16 = D26 = 0), forces and moment resultants are determined by [22] Nx = A11 ∂u0 ∂x +A12( ∂v0 R∂θ + w0 R ) +B11 ∂φx ∂x +B12 ∂φθ R∂θ , Nθ = A12 ∂u0 ∂x +A22( ∂v0 R∂θ + w0 R ) +B12 ∂φx ∂x +B22 ∂φθ R∂θ , Nxθ = A66( ∂v0 ∂x + ∂u0 R∂θ ) +B66( ∂φθ ∂x + ∂φx R∂θ ), Mx = B11 ∂u0 ∂x +B12( ∂v0 R∂θ + w0 R ) +D11 ∂φx ∂x +D12 ∂φθ R∂θ , Mθ = B12 ∂u0 ∂x +B22( ∂v0 R∂θ + w0 R ) +D12 ∂φ1 ∂x +D22 ∂φθ R∂θ , Mxθ = B66( ∂v0 ∂x + ∂u0 R∂θ ) +D66( ∂φθ ∂x + ∂φx R∂θ ), Qx = KA55(φx + ∂w0 ∂x ) Qθ = KA44(φθ + ∂w0 R∂θ − v0 R ).

By replacing expressions (11) into (8) and (9), 13 equations depending only 22 Ta Thi Hien, Tran Ich Thinh, Nguyen Manh Cuong on variable x will be obtained. Next, Nθm,Mθm and Qθm will be expressed as functions of um, vm, wm, φxm, φym, Nxm, Nxθm,Qxm,Mxm,Mxθm by using relation (8). Then, the deriva- tions of state vector with respect to variable x are calculated from equations (8) and (9), after some manipulations dum dx = f1 (vm, wm, φθm, Nxm,Mxm) dNxm dx = f6 (um, φxm, Nxθm,Mxθm, ω) dvm dx = f2 (um, Nxθm,Mxθm) dNxθm dx = f7 (vm, wm, φθm, Nxm,Mxm, ω) dwm dx = f3 (φxm, Qxm) dQmx dx = f8 (vm, wm, φθm, Nxm,Mxm, ω) dφxm dx = f4 (vm, wm, φθm, Nxm,Mxm) dMxm dx = f9 (um, φxm, Qxm,Mxθm) dφθm dx = f5 (φxm, Nxθm,Mxθm) dMxθm dx = f10 (vm, wm, φθm, Nxm,Mxm, ω) (12) Equations (12) are written in the matrix form for each circumferential mode m d{y}Tm dx = [A]m{y} T m, where [A]m is a 10× 10 matrix. (13) 3.2. Dynamic transfer matrix, dynamic stiffness matrix [K(ω)] The dynamic transfer matrix [T ]m is given by [T ]m = e [A]mL (14) Then [T ]m is separated into four blocks [T ]m = [ T11 T12 T21 T22 ] (15) Finally, the dynamic stiffness matrix [K(ω)]m is determined by [19] [K(ω)]m = [ T−112 T11 −T −1 12 T21 − T22T −1 12 T11 T22T −1 12 ] m (16) The natural frequencies is calculated from the determinant of the dynamic stiffness matrix [K(ω)]m. For example, – Free-free boundary condition: det(K) = 0. – Clamped-clamped boundary condition: det(T12) = 0. 3.3. Assembly of dynamic stiffness matrices The dynamic stiffness matrix can be easily assembled with other element matrices in order to model a long cylindrical structure, cylinders with portions of different properties or to overcome the problem of numerical instability relating to the too long length of the element. The assembly procedure of the finite element method is used here. Fig. 2 illustrates an example of assembly for two dynamic stiffness matrices.

Using only 3 continuous elements for meshing, CEM accelerates the calculation speed and save data storage ca- pacity of computers. For the FEM model, it takes much more time to solve the problem if we refine the meshing in order to have more exact result. 4.3. Influences of some parameters on frequency of composite cylindrical shell The effects of thickness-to radius ratios, length-to radius ratios and the number of layers on the frequencies of composite cylindrical shell are presented in Figs. 5-6, Fig. 7 and Fig. 8, respectively. Fig. 5. Effect of h/R on simply supported composite cylindrical shell (0◦/90◦/90◦/0◦, h = 0.0254 m, L/R = 2, Material 1) by CEM and by FEM From Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, it is seen that the raise of the shell thickness will result in the increasing of natural frequencies of the shell. The frequency decreases in general as L/R increases. The decrease is fast for very short shells (Fig. 7). With the same shell thickness, when the number of layers increases, natural frequency increases (Fig. 8). This confirms influence of the arrangement of material layers to the vibration of composite shell. 28 Ta Thi Hien, Tran Ich Thinh, Nguyen Manh Cuong Fig. 6.

CONCLUSIONS This article has succeeded in constructing the CEM model and in creating a com- puting program by Matlab to solve the problem of vibration of thick composite cylin- drical shells using Continuous Element Method. Through different comparisons with the published results and with the other calculation methods, the obtained results are very satisfied. Numerical results of this research show that CEM allows to compute the natural frequencies of thick laminated cylindrical shells with high accuracy, widen the studied frequency range. Using minimum meshing, this method increases the calculation speed and economies the storage capacity of computers. In this paper, only in-axis composite Numerical analysis of free vibration of cross-ply thick laminated composite cylindrical shells by ... 29 shells are studied. But actually, there is no limitation on the manner of ply angles of the lamina. Those problems can also be solved by using CEM.
