Numerical analysis of uncertain frequency of rotating composites using NURBS-based isogeometric HSDT approach: Rim-driven configuration

This study delves into the impact of material and fabrication uncertainties on the natural frequencies of rim-driven rotating structures. Utilizing a higher-order shear deformation theory (HSDT), an isogeometric analysis (IGA) model predicts these frequencies. Sensitivity analysis via a radial basis function network (RBFN) model, validated with Monte Carlo simulation, highlights parameter influence. Parametric investigations unveil sensitivity patterns and influential parameters. Employing a stochastic approach, the study compares the effects of random material properties on the free vibration response of rotating and non-rotating plates. Additionally, the RBFN-based surrogate model assesses reliability parameters concerning resonance failure in rim-driven rotating composite structures.
