- Abstract
In this paper, the dynamic performance of Multi‐layered Sandwich Composite Cylindrical Open Shells (MSCCOS) with double‐layered soft cores is analyzed for the first time by adopting the First‐order Shear Deformation Theory (FSDT). For accomplishing this aim, vibration differential equations of MSCCOS are derived based on Hamilton's variance principle. Then, the closed‐form Navier solution is introduced to obtain the numerical results of differential equations. Subsequently, the effectiveness and accuracy are discussed by several comparisons. Ultimately, the dramatic effect of different structural and material parameters on natural frequencies and associated loss factors is investigated and described vividly. Because shear deformation and rotary inertia of all layers are considered in vibration differential equations, thin and moderately thick MSCCOS could be researched, and some interesting discoveries for the dynamic performance of MSCCOS are derived. Highlights: A vibration model of five‐layered composite open shell was obtained.The optimal structure parameters maximizing the damping properties are shown.Dynamics properties of five‐layered composite open shell are presented.
