Abstract

Dynamic instability behavior of functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced hybrid composite plates subjected to periodic loadings is studied. The governing equations of motion of Mathieu-type are established by using the Galerkin method with reduced eigenfunctions transforms. With the Mathieu equations, the dynamic instability regions of hybrid nanocomposite plates are determined by using the Bolotin’s method. Results reveal that the dynamic instability is significantly affected by the carbon nanotube volume fraction, layer thickness ratio, bending stress, static and dynamic load parameters. The effects of important parameters on the instability region and dynamic instability index of hybrid nanocomposite plates are discussed.
