Research paper thumbnail of Dynamics of rectangular laminated composite plates with selective layer-wise fillering rested on elastic foundation using higher-order layer-wise theory

Journal of Vibration and Control, Nov 23, 2022

The elastic foundation is one of such conditions. The strength of the laminated composite plates can be enhanced by altering constituents or by the addition of filler materials. For localized strengthening of laminated composite plates, such as at particular layers, it is not cost-effective to strengthen the whole structure. So, the laminated composite plates are strengthened at a particular layer by adding the fillering materials, for example, graphene or flyash. The addition of these filler materials in a particular region sometimes causes agglomeration. Agglomeration of filler materials causes adverse effects such as stress concentration or strain aging. In theoretical formulation, Eringen’s nonlocal principle is applied to account for the impact of agglomeration. In the current study, neat epoxy glass laminated composite plates as well as rectangle laminated composite plate variants with outer layer graphene, core layer graphene, functionally graded laminated composite plate, laminated composite plates exclusively rich in graphene, and laminated composite plates only rich in flyash are taken into consideration. Using a layer-wise model, the fifth-order shear deformation theory is applied. The laminated composite plates are assumed to rest on an elastic foundation. The consequence of elastic coefficient of foundation on procured parameters such as fundamental frequencies, stress parameters, center deflections, and buckling performance is determined. For this purpose, computerized programs are developed using MATLAB and validated first for isotropic material. Further, the work is extended to study these effects on the laminated composite plate variants.

Most widely glass fiber reinforced polymeric composites (GFRPC) are used due to its easy availability and cheap cost. A set of various types of manufacturing methods are followed to prepare the composites. Hand layup technique is widely adopted one among them. In this process, a layer of resin is impringed over the fabric layer by a paint brush and toothed roller. To increase the mechanical strength of the GFRPC, nano materials are added to the resins as filler. In this work, Graphene and flyash is used as filler along with the epoxy and glass to prepare the test specimens. Graphene being a costly material, the possibility of the use of graphene at targeted layer along with flyash, most possibly at outer most layers and at core is explored. The functional gradation of composite plates of multiple layers are targeted and achieved. The preparation technique has been discussed elaborately.

These composite plates are often subjected to dynamic loading conditions which necessitate the study of their static and dynamic behavior. In this study, laminated composite plates (LCP) are fabricated by open layup process with epoxy as a base resin, E-glass fiber as reinforcement, and fillers: flyash and graphene. The fillers are included in order to improve the mechanical properties of the composite. The filler content in the composite is limited to 5% of the total volume. The weight percentage of fiber combined with fillers, treated as reinforcing constituents is limited to 60%. Graphene and flyash are added in different proportions to develop different kinds of LCPs. The free and forced vibrations of LCPs (using simple support end conditions) are measured by an indigenously developed low-cost vibration testing module. The experimental results have been used to validate the results obtained from the mathematical modeling by using fifth-order shear deformation theory and finite element approaches. Additionally, the effect of existing discontinuity in the LCP is studied. Circular holes of different dimensions at different locations are simulated in the numerical model and the consequences on modal frequencies are analyzed.

The theoretical, experimental, and finite element analysis (FEA) results are compared for a standard isotropic material. Hand layup technique is used to prepare glass fiber reinforced polymer composites (GFRPC) with selective layers filled with graphene and flyash. This technique helps to reduce the fabrication cost as the whole structure is not to be strengthened by the fillers. Six classes of the laminated-composite-plate (LCP) such as outer layer graphenated LCP (O-LCP), core layer graphenated LCP(C-LCP), functionally graded LCP (FG-LCP), LCPs only rich in graphene (G-LCP), LCPs only rich in flyash (F-LCP) along with a neat epoxy-glass LCP (N-LCP) are fabricated. A low-cost frequency measurement module is set-up to measure the fundamental frequency (FF) of the fabricated LCPs. FFs, amplitudes, non-dimensional stress parameters, and central deflection of the LCPs under harmonic load, the buckling strength, and displacements of the LCPs are calculated. It is found that harmonically excited C-LCP and O-LCP have better stability accompanied by lower deflections, followed by G-LCP as compared to other kinds of LCPs. Also, the addition of graphene increases the buckling strength of LCPs, which portrays that the local layer filling is a useful technique to enhance the strength of the LCPs.
