    Abstract

    In this study, the instability regions of a honeycomb sandwich plate are investigated for different end conditions under periodic in-plane loading. The core layer of the sandwich plate is made of carbon nanotube (CNT)/glass fiber-reinforced honeycomb and the face layers of CNT/glass fiber- reinforced laminated composite. The governing equations are derived using classical laminated plate theory (CLPT) and solved numerically by using finite element formulation. The effectiveness of the developed finite element formulation is demonstrated by comparing the results in terms of natural frequencies with those available in the literature. The effects of CNT wt.% on the core material, CNT wt.% on the skin material, ply orientation and various end conditions on the variation of natural frequencies, loss factors and instability regions are studied. Finally, some inferences for the effects of CNT reinforcement on the honeycomb sandwich plate subjected to the periodic in-plane loads are discussed.
