Abstract
The study explores the free vibration characteristics of hybrid laminated nanocomposite truncated conical shells and panels incorporating functionally graded graphene platelet-reinforced (FG-GPLs) and functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced (FG-CNTs) materials, advancing understanding in hybrid material applications. The structures are assumed to be supported by a two-parameter elastic foundation, and the study also considers the influence of CNT agglomeration. The estimation of CNT agglomeration effect is performed using a two-parameter agglomeration model based on the Mori–Tanaka approach, considering the random orientation of carbon nanotubes. By employing a combination of various control parameters, it becomes possible to determine the optimal mode for setting the natural frequency of the system. To ensure accurate calculations for both thin and thick shells, a third-order shear deformation theory is employed. The governing equations and boundary conditions are formulated based on Hamilton's principle. Numerical solutions are obtained through the systematic differential quadrature method, wherein the Kronecker delta function is employed. By introducing subtle adjustments to the governing equations, this method effectively minimizes computational volume and complexity, proving particularly advantageous for addressing problems characterized by higher degrees of freedom. To estimate the effective mechanical properties of the CNT-reinforced nanocomposite layers, the rule of mixtures is employed. Meanwhile, the Halpin–Tsai micromechanical model is utilized for calculating the properties of the GPL-reinforced nanocomposite layers. The presented study establishes convergence and accuracy through evaluation, considering various parameters such as CNTs volume fraction, GPLs mass fraction, different distribution patterns, different geometries under various boundary conditions, vertex angle of the cone, agglomeration characteristics of CNTs, and different stiffness of the elastic foundation.
