Abstract

This paper studies nonlinear vibration analysis of a graphene nanoplatelets’ composite sandwich. The core and two face-sheets of composite sandwich plate are fabricated from a honeycomb material and graphene nanoplatelet (GNP) reinforcements, respectively. Displacement field of sandwich plate is developed based on first-order shear deformation theory. Geometric nonlinearity is accounted in the constitutive relations based on von-Karman assumptions. After derivation of the governing partial differential motion equations through Hamilton’s principle, Galerkin’s approach is used to reduce them into a nonlinear equation of motion in terms of transverse deflection. The nonlinear frequency is found based on linear frequency and initial conditions, analytically. The nonlinear-to-linear frequency ratio is computed based on significant input parameters of honeycomb structure and graphene nanoplatelets such as thickness-to-length and thickness-to-height ratios, angle of honeycomb, various distribution, weigh fraction and geometric characteristics of graphene nanoplatelets. Before presentation of full numerical results, the comprehensive comparative study is presented for verification of the derivation and solution method.
