Aeroelasticity analysis of anisogrid lattice sandwich cylindrical shells: Extended potential and piston theories
MECHANICS OF ADVANCED MATERIALS AND STRUCTURES(2024)
Abstract
Based on the extended potential and piston aerodynamics theories, buckling and vibration analysis of sandwich cylindrical shells subjected to external airflow in both subsonic and supersonic regimes is presented. Sandwich cylindrical shells are considered to be made of same homogenous face sheets and an anisogrid composite lattice core with hexagonal cells. An equivalent single layer (ESL) theory in the framework of classical Love's shell theory is used to formulate the global mechanical behavior of such shells. According to the extended potential and piston aerodynamic theories, aerodynamic pressure distributions are determined for steady, inviscid, irrotational compressible, and external airflow. The closed-form solutions of critical upstream pressure and natural frequency are developed for different boundary conditions using the Galerkin method. Finally, case studies are presented to compare between results of extended potential and piston theories and investigate the effects of upstream speed, geometric ratios, boundary conditions, and lattice specifications on various response quantities. Findings indicate that the differences in results of extended potential and piston theories are less than 3% in the supersonic regime with 2.3 <= M infinity <= 2.7 for intermediate-length shells with a wide range of R. The piston theory is inadequate for analyzing aeroelasticity behavior of very long thin sandwich cylindrical shells.
