Abstract
The current study presents a meshless collocation method based on radial basis functions (MC-RBF) to analyze the vibrational response associated with a sandwich circular cylindrical nanopipe in a supersonic airflow and conveying fluid flow. The quasi-2D hybrid type of nonlocal strain gradient theory (QHNSGT) as a higher order shear deformation theory (HSDT) has been presented to model the size-dependent nanopipe equations extracted using the energy method for a sandwich nanopipe. The sandwich nanostructure is made of metal, ceramic, and bi-directional functionally graded (Bi-FG) material, respectively, lower, topper, and middle surfaces. By taking into account that the fluid flow is infinite, incompressible, uniform flow, Newtonian, laminar, as well as viscous, and with the help of the Navier-Stokes equation, the fluid-structure interaction is obtained. Also, the displacement fields are defined via the Quasi-2D hybrid type of high-order shear deformation theory. The governing equations are discretized via the MC-RBF method to obtain the natural frequencies. The verification section shows that the results of the current research are very near to the results of the published article in the literature. By using COMSOL multi-physics software, the results are verified, and the outputs show that the velocity of fluid flow has a significant role in the vibrational responses of the current composite structure.
