Dynamic response of the nonlocal strain-stress gradient in laminated polymer composites microtubes.

This study presents the frequency analysis of a size-dependent laminated polymer composite microtube using a nonlocal strain-stress gradient (NSG) model. By applying energy methods (known as Hamilton's principle), the motion equations of the laminated micro tube composites are developed. The thermodynamic equations of the laminated microtube are based on first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT), and a generalized differential quadrature method (GDQM) is employed to find the model for the natural frequencies. The results show that by considering C-F boundary conditions (BCs) and every even layers' number in lower value of length scale parameter, the frequency of the structure drops by soaring this parameter. However, this matter is inverse in its higher value. Eventually, the ply angle's influences, nonlocality as well as length scale element on the vibration of the laminated composite microstructure are investigated.
