Abstract

Based on stress transfer relationship of fiber reinforced composite layer, damping layer and stiffeners, this study presents a novel dynamic analytical model in order to evaluate the dynamic characteristics of a composite damping plate with randomly oriented carbon nanotube reinforced stiffeners. Both an energy method and complex modulus theory are used to derive the vibration equations. Experiments and numerical simulations are adopted for confirming the correctness of the analytical findings. Furthermore, the model is utilized to investigate the impact of structural variables on the dynamic properties, including the modal loss factor and first-order natural frequency.
