Abstract: |
In this paper, the applicability of the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) in analyzing the flutter of geometrically nonlinear cross-ply rectangular laminated plates resting on nonlinear elastic foundation is investigated. The piston theory is employed to evaluate the aerodynamic pressure acting on the plate. The von Karman geometric nonlinear theory is used to construct the governing equations of the system. The Galerkin's method is used to reduce the nonlinear partial differential equations to a nonlinear second-order ordinary differential equation, and the HPM is employed to study the effect of initial deflection, aspect ratio and stacking sequence on the flutter pressure of cross-ply laminated plates. The results show that the first approximation of the HPM leads to highly accurate solutions for the geometrically nonlinear flutter of cross-ply rectangular laminated plates subjected to the aerodynamic pressure. |
