Transient wave propagation in the ring stiffened laminated composite cylindrical shells using the method of reverberation ray matrix.
The method of reverberation ray matrix is extended to investigate the transient wave propagation and early short time transient responses of the ring stiffened laminated composite cylindrical shells subjected to impact loads. The ring stiffened laminated cylindrical shells are modeled as the continuous coupling systems between the vibration of the un-stiffened laminated cylindrical shell and the motion of the curved beams. The dynamic models of the laminated cylindrical shell and curved beams in the Laplace phase space are established on the basis of the first order shear deformation theory. The reverberation ray matrix can be determined by the boundary and continuous conditions of the ring stiffened laminated cylindrical shell. Using the fast Fourier transform algorithm, the dynamic responses of the ring stiffened laminated cylindrical shells can be computed. Through the numerical simulations, it can be seen that the early short time transient accelerations of the ring stiffened laminated cylindrical shells under impact loads are very large, while the early short time transient shear strains and displacements are very small. Furthermore, the influences of the ring stiffener number and impact load types on the early short time transient responses of the ring stiffened laminated cylindrical shells are also investigated.
