Dynamic Response of the Fiber Metal Laminated (FML) Plate with Interfacial Damage in Unstable Temperature Field

Abstract:

During the past decades, increasing requirement in aircraft for high-performance, lightweight structures have caused strong interests on the development of fiber-metal laminates (FMLs), which are manufractured from thin layers of glass fibre reinforced composite and alluminium alloy. In this paper, the nonlinear dynamic response problem of the FML plate subjected to unstable temperature with interfacial damage is analyzed. Based on the weak bonded theory, the interfacial constitutive relations of the FML are constructed. According to the Hamiltons variance principle, the nonlinear motion equations of the FML with interfacial damages subjected to the unstable thermal field are obtained. And then, the finite difference, Newmark-and the iteration method are applied to solve the nonlinear motion equations. In the numerical examples, the effects of the interface damage, the amplitude and frequency of imposed loads and the temperature fields on the nonlinear dynamic response of the FML plates are investigated. And in conclusion, the effects of various type of temperature on the nonlinear dynamic response of FML plate are different obviously.
