Kallannavar, V.Kattimani, S.2026-02-042022Mechanics of Advanced Materials and Structures, 2022, 29, 26, pp. 5423-544215376494https://doi.org/10.1080/15376494.2021.1955315https://idr.nitk.ac.in/handle/123456789/22880In this paper, the first attempt has been made to investigate the performance of the active constrained layer damping system in the thermal environment. 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.Carbon nanotubesDampingFeedbackLaminated compositesPlates (structural components)ReinforcementShear deformationShear flowStiffnessActive constrained layer dampingCarbon nanotubes reinforced compositesComposite coreEffects of temperaturePerformanceSandwich platesShear deformation theorySkew sandwich platesStrain-displacement relationThermal environmentStiffness matrix
