Abstract
This article investigates the dynamic instability of folded sandwich plate structures through a meticulous and comprehensive approach. These structures comprise sandwich plates with a honeycomb core and aluminum protective layers, which serve as their primary components. The governing equations are derived using the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) to analyze the dynamic instability. Given that each folded plate structure comprises multiple plates with varying dimensions and angles, the Conforming Multi-patch Isogeometric method is employed to accurately model the structure and solve the governing equations. The results obtained are compared with data from reputable published studies to validate the accuracy and reliability of the proposed Isogeometric analysis (IGA) method. This comparison confirms the method’s credibility and highlights its high precision in evaluating the dynamic stability of folded plate structures. Furthermore, the study investigates the influence of various parameters on the dynamic stability performance of these structures. It also examines how the geometric and mechanical properties of honeycomb cores, specifically hexagonal and re-entrant structures in combined cell geometries, affect the dynamic stability of the structure under different conditions.
期刊介绍:
Thin-walled structures comprises an important and growing proportion of engineering construction with areas of application becoming increasingly diverse, ranging from aircraft, bridges, ships and oil rigs to storage vessels, industrial buildings and warehouses.
Many factors, including cost and weight economy, new materials and processes and the growth of powerful methods of analysis have contributed to this growth, and led to the need for a journal which concentrates specifically on structures in which problems arise due to the thinness of the walls. This field includes cold– formed sections, plate and shell structures, reinforced plastics structures and aluminium structures, and is of importance in many branches of engineering.
The primary criterion for consideration of papers in Thin–Walled Structures is that they must be concerned with thin–walled structures or the basic problems inherent in thin–walled structures. Provided this criterion is satisfied no restriction is placed on the type of construction, material or field of application. Papers on theory, experiment, design, etc., are published and it is expected that many papers will contain aspects of all three.
