Abstract :

In this study, the transient dynamic analysis of grid-stiffened composite conical shells is discussed. The transient dynamic response of the composite conical shell with simply supported boundary conditions under the lateral impact load, which is applied extensively and uniformly on a certain surface, is obtained using the convolution integral and based on the method of addition of modes. The validation of the obtained results has been done with the help of references and ABAQUS finite element software. The effects of various parameters such as fiber angle, geometric ratios, type, etc. have been investigated in forced vibrations. Finally, the effect of reinforcing the conical shell with the help of grid-stiffened structures has been studied.
