A Generalized Shape Function for Vibration Suppression Analysis of Acoustic Black Hole Beams Based on Fractional Calculus Theory by Jun Xu, Ning Chen

“…In this paper, a generalized acoustic black hole (ABH) beam covered with a viscoelastic layer is proposed to improve the energy dissipation based on the double-parameter Mittag–Leffler (ML) function. Since fractional-order constitutive models can more accurately capture the properties of viscoelastic materials, a fractional dynamic model of an ABH structure covered with viscoelastic film is established based on the fractional Kelvin–Voigt constitutive equation and the mechanical analysis of composite structures. …”

Nonlinear Vibration of Oblique-Stiffened Multilayer Functionally Graded Cylindrical Shells Under External Excitation with Internal and Superharmonic Resonances by Kamran Foroutan, Farshid Torabi

“…The CSs are made up of three layers: an inner metal-rich layer, an exterior ceramic-rich layer, and a functionally graded (FG) layer in between. The stiffeners’ constitutive material is graded constantly throughout their thicknesses. von Kármán equations, the smeared stiffener technique, and the Galerkin approach are used to address the NV problem. …”
