Bending and vibration of one-dimensional hexagonal quasicrystal layered plates with imperfect interface (Q2083827)

In this paper, the bending deformation, free vibration and forced vibration of one-dimensional hexagonal quasicrystal layered plates with imperfect interfaces are investigated. Exact solutions of the extended stress and displacement (displacements and stresses of phonon and phason fields) of multilayered QC plates are derived by the propagation matrix method and pseudo-Stroh formalism. The effect of imperfect interface parameter and stacking sequence on the static deformation and vibrational response of two sandwich plates made up of crystal and QC materials is analyzed. An anisotropic \(N\)-layer rectangular one-dimensional hexagonal QC plate with imperfect interfaces and its four sides being simply supported is considered. Numerical examples are provided to analyze the influence of the stacking sequence and the imperfect interface parameter of two sandwich plates composed of crystal and quasicrystal materials on the bending deformation and vibrational response of these plates. Furthermore, the presented three-dimensional plate model is applied to quasicrystal-coated aluminium based composites. Extensive numerical data in the form of tables and figures are presented for direct use by practicing engineers.
