Free vibration behaviour of bio-inspired helicoidal laminated composite panels of revolution under thermal conditions: Multi-output machine learning approach

Abstract

The present work aims to study the free vibration behaviour of bio-inspired helicoidal laminated composite spherical, toroid, and conical shell panels using a single-output Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm trained in the chassis of parabolic shear deformation theory under thermal conditions. Different helicoidal lamination schemes are adopted, such as Fibonacci, semi-circular, exponential, recursive, and linear helicoidal schemes. Temperature-dependent material properties are adopted. The effect of the geometry of the shell, temperature, and lamination scheme on the free vibration behaviour of spherical, toroid, and conical shell panels is studied. Also, the mode shapes are obtained using different multi-output SVM surrogate in which the displacements are obtained at different locations and are predicted to obtain the fundamental mode shape. The trained surrogate model can predict the values of fundamental frequency and mode shapes much faster than the parabolic shear deformation theory.
