Modes of vibration thin cylindrical shells made up layers with curvilinear fibres (variable stiffness composite laminates (VSCL) shells) are investigated in the linear regime. A p-version finite element type formulation is developed for that purpose; absence data on vibrations VSCL shells, verified by comparisons published laminated reinforced straight and plates. Parametric studies performed, order to investigate how fibre paths can influence modes vibration. It found have a very large...
Curvilinear reinforcement fibres allow to tailor the elastic properties of composite laminates in space, leading Variable Stiffness Composite Laminates (VSCL). In this work, aeroelastic stability VSCL cylindrical shells under a supersonic airflow along axial direction is analysed order verify if curvilinear can be used increase flutter speed. A linear mathematical model for thin circular developed that purpose. The aerodynamic pressure caused by modelled recurring linearised piston theory....
