Abstract
Key Words
Dynamic characteristics of a scale-dependent porous metal foam cylindrical shell under a traveling load have been explored within this article based on a numerical approach. Within the material texture of the metal foams, uniform and non-uniform porosities may be dispersed. Based upon differential quadrature method (DQM) and Laplace transforms, the equations of motion for a shear deformable scale-dependent shell may be solved numerically. Scale-dependent shell modeling has been provided based upon strain gradient elasticity. Solving the equations will give the shell deflection as a function of load speed. Also, it is reported that shell deflection relies on the porosity dispersion and strain gradient influences.
