Item Dynamic performance of laminated composite plates with a circular hole(American Institute of Physics Inc. subs@aip.org, 2020) Kallannavar, V.; Umatar, S.; Kattimani, S.C.The present study deals with the free vibration analysis of laminated compo-site plates containing a circular hole or cut-out. The Finite Element (FE) analysis is used to study the influence of the type of material, size of the hole, aspect ratio of the plate and position of the circular hole on the natural frequency of the system. Three materials namely Glass-Epoxy, Boron-Epoxy and Graphite-Epoxy are considered for the simulation of plates containing a circular hole at the center for different boundary conditions. Influence of dimensions of rectangular plates on natural frequencies is presented by considering different aspect ratios under various boundary conditions. Distinct aspect ratios are achieved by varying length of the plate keeping width dimension constant. The study is also extended to understand the effect of position of the circular hole in the plate on modal behavior of the composite plate under different boundary conditions. © 2020 Author(s).Item Modal analysis of laminated composite and sandwich plates using finite element method(American Institute of Physics Inc. subs@aip.org, 2020) Kallannavar, V.; Kattimani, S.C.The present study deals with an investigation of free vibration analysis of laminated composite and sandwich plates. The finite element model is developed in ANSYS Parametric Design Language (APDL) tool using shell elements for composite plates and solid shell elements for sandwich plates. The influence of material, fiber orientation, aspect ratio and boundary conditions on modal behavior of isotropic, laminated composite and sandwich plates are explored. Graphite- Epoxy was considered for the analysis of composite plates and aluminum 2024-T3 was considered for isotropic plate simulations. Sandwich structure was modeled by considering aluminum core and Graphite-Epoxy as face sheets. Quasi- isotropic [0°/45°/-45°/90°]s, bending stiff [0°/0°/30°/-30°]s, and torsion stiff [45°/-45°/-45°/45°]s fiber orientations are considered for the analysis. Block Lanczos mode extraction method was adopted to obtain natural frequency values. The simulation results indicated that the cantilever boundary condition is most suited for the applications where the operating frequency range is low. © 2020 Author(s).Item The potential of nanoparticle additives in biodiesel: A fundamental outset(American Institute of Physics Inc. subs@aip.org, 2020) Soudagar, M.E.M.; Ghazali, N.-N.; Akram, N.; Al-Rashid, M.A.; Badruddin, I.A.; Khan, H.; Kallannavar, V.; Shahpurkar, K.; Afzal, A.; Farade, R.; Taqui, S.N.; Ukkund, S.J.Biodiesel is an unparalleled alternative fuel source envisioned to encompass the significance of diesel fuel and reduce greenhouse gas emissions because to its locked carbon cycle. However, it increases the nitrogen oxide emission, regular engine parts replacement due to clogging, and is not suitable in cold weather conditions. The addition of nanoparticles (metallic, non-metallic, oxygenated, organic and amalgamation) with diesel-biodiesel emulsion fuels results in an enhancement in the engine performance, thermo-physical properties, enrichment in the heat transfer rate, the equilibrium of the fuel mixtures and drop in the exhaust emissions reliant on the prescription of nanoparticle additives. The review intends to demonstrate the most recent nanoparticle additives used in diesel-biodiesel fuels. © 2020 Author(s).Item Influence of temperature on the vibration control of the laminated composite sandwich plate with a 3D printed PLA core(American Institute of Physics Inc., 2023) Kallannavar, V.; Kattimani, S.; Reddy, B.R.P.The current study looks at the effect of temperature on the vibration control properties of a laminated composite sandwich plate. The sandwich plates fabricated using the glass-epoxy composite face sheets and the 3D printed PLA core are used for the study. Three PZT5H piezoelectric patches are used for actuating, sensing, and controlling the laminated composite sandwich plate. The proportional controller with constant control gain is utilized to control of vibrating sandwich plate operating at 10° C, 20° C, and 30° C thermal environments. The proportional controller was designed in the basic LABVIEW programming platform. The physical analog input/output modules and amplifier units are effectively utilized to control the oscillating cantilever sandwich plate. The investigation revealed that the vibration attenuation characteristics of the PZT5H patch-assisted proportional controller increase with the increase in temperature. © 2023 Author(s).Item Effect of temperature and moisture on free vibration characteristics of skew laminated hybrid composite and sandwich plates(Elsevier Ltd, 2020) Kallannavar, V.; Kumaran, B.; Kattimani, S.C.This paper is concerned with the effect of variation in temperature and moisture concentration on free vibration response of skew laminated hybrid composite and sandwich plates. The coupled thermo-elastic and hygro-elastic finite element model is formulated using the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT). Uniform temperature and moisture concentration rise is considered for the analysis. Soft-core viscoelastic materials are considered for the sandwich plates and are modeled using the complex modulus approach. Linear strain-displacement relations are used to develop a mechanical stiffness matrix, and the initial stress stiffness matrix is generated using non-linear strain-displacement relations to represent the non-mechanical stiffness matrix. Numerical examples for the generated finite element model are presented and discussed comprehensively to understand the effect of temperature, moisture concentration, skew angle, length to width ratio, length to thickness ratio, and boundary conditions on the vibration response of the laminated hybrid composite and sandwich plates. Further investigation is devoted to studying the influence of temperature and moisture concentration-dependent material properties, stacking sequence, core to face sheet thickness ratio, and fiber orientation on vibration behavioral response of sandwich and hybrid composite plates. © 2020 Elsevier LtdItem Neural network-based prediction model to investigate the influence of temperature and moisture on vibration characteristics of skew laminated composite sandwich plates(MDPI AG, 2021) Kallannavar, V.; Kattimani, S.; Soudagar, M.E.M.; Abbas, M.A.; Alshahrani, S.; Imran, M.The present study deals with the development of a prediction model to investigate the impact of temperature and moisture on the vibration response of a skew laminated composite sandwich (LCS) plate using the artificial neural network (ANN) technique. Firstly, a finite element model is generated to incorporate the hygro-elastic and thermo-elastic characteristics of the LCS plate using first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT). Graphite-epoxy composite laminates are used as the face sheets, and DYAD606 viscoelastic material is used as the core material. Non-linear strain-displacement relations are used to generate the initial stiffness matrix in order to represent the stiffness generated from the uniformly varying temperature and moisture concentrations. The mechanical stiffness matrix is derived using linear strain-displacement associations. Then the results obtained from the numerical model are used to train the ANN. About 11,520 data points were collected from the numerical analysis and were used to train the network using the Levenberg– Marquardt algorithm. The developed ANN model is used to study the influence of various process parameters on the frequency response of the system, and the outcomes are compared with the results obtained from the numerical model. Several numerical examples are presented and conferred to comprehend the influence of temperature and moisture on the LCS plates. © 2021 by the authors.

For such investigation, a skew laminated composite sandwich plate with carbon nanotube-reinforced composite core is considered. The nonlinear strain-displacement relations are employed to generate the initial-stress stiffness matrix and the mechanical stiffness matrices using linear strain-displacement relations. The negative velocity feedback control-law is used to control the first few modes of the vibrating sandwich plate. Comprehensive investigation has been carried out to understand influence of geometric and material parameters on the damping performance of the system. © 2021 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.Item Vibration control of laminated composite cantilever beam operating in elevated thermal environments using fuzzy logic controller(SAGE Publications Inc., 2022) Akumalla, R.K.; Kallannavar, V.; Kattimani, S.In the present study, vibration control of laminated composite cantilever beam operating in the elevated thermal environment is achieved using combined experimental and numerical techniques. The impact hammer test is performed on the glass-epoxy cantilever beam at different temperatures. Experimentally recorded impact hammer force signals and piezoelectric accelerometer time-domain signals are processed through a system identification toolbox in MATLAB to obtain transfer functions of the plant models. A robust fuzzy logic controller is developed to accomplish the effective vibration control of a cantilever composite beam operating at different temperatures. The fuzzy logic controller with two inputs and one output is designed using the 20 if-then rules. The results are presented in both frequency and time domain, keeping the vibration attenuation of the fundamental frequency as the point of interest. The results indicate the proposed fuzzy logic control strategy can attenuate the vibrations of a cantilever composite beam for a wide temperature range. © The Author(s) 2022.Item Influence of Temperature and Moisture on Free Vibration Behavior of Skew Laminated Composite Sandwich Panels with CNTRC Core(World Scientific, 2022) Kallannavar, V.; Kattimani, S.; Ramesh, H.This paper presents the influence of temperature and moisture on the free vibration characteristics of skew laminated composite sandwich (SLCS) panels. The face sheets of the panels are made of graphite-epoxy composite, while the core consists of carbon nanotube-reinforced composite. The coupled hygro-elastic and thermo-elastic relations for the SLCS shells/panels are formulated using first-order shear deformation theory. The nonmechanical stiffness matrices are represented by the initial stress stiffness matrix developed using nonlinear strain-displacement relations. The temperature and moisture-dependent material properties are considered to analyze the laminated composite sandwich spherical, hyperbolic, ellipsoid, cylindrical Shells, and flat plates. Several numerical examples are comprehensively studied to establish the influence of temperature, moisture, the volume fraction of carbon nanotubes in the core material, functional gradation types, skew angle, and edge constraints on the vibration responses of SLCS shells. Further exploration is devoted to studying the combined effect of moisture, temperature, and the geometrical parameters such as length to width ratio, length to thickness ratio, radius-to-length ratio, and the core thickness to face sheet thickness ratios on the natural frequency of the skew laminated composite sandwich panels. © 2022 World Scientific Publishing Company.Item Active Vibration Control of Laminated Composite Beam Operating in Thermal Environment using PZT-5H Patches(Semnan University, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, 2022) Saini, K.; Ravi Kiran, A.; Kallannavar, V.; Kattimani, S.This paper investigates the influence of temperature on the active vibration control of laminated composite cantilever beams using collocative experimental and simulation techniques. The system identification toolbox of the MATLAB simulation tool is utilized to obtain the transfer function of the plant model. The adequate vibration attenuation of the glass-epoxy cantilever beam operating in various thermal environments is achieved using the proportional (P) and proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers. The vibration attenuation characteristics of the developed control algorithms are comprehensively investigated for a wide temperature range of –20 °C to 60 °C using PZT-5H patches. Particular emphasis is given to the vibration control of the fundamental natural frequency of the laminated composite cantilever beam. The obtained results of open and closed-loop models are presented in both time and frequency domains. The results indicate that for all the temperatures considered, the PID controller is found to be more effective in vibration attenuation than the P controller. The vibration attenuation performance of the cantilever beam considerably improved at the higher magnitude of temperature values. The natural frequency of the system is reduced continuously with an increase in temperature. © 2022 Published by Semnan University Press. All rights reserved.
