Forced vibration of an initially stressed thick rectangular plate made of an orthotropic material with a cylindrical hole

The forced vibration of an initially statically stressed rectangular plate made of an orthotropic material is studied. The plate is simply supported along all its edges and contains an internal across-the-width cylindrical hole of rectangular cross section with rounded corners. The initial stresses are created by uniformly distributed normal forces applied to opposite end faces of the plate. Because of the hole, these stresses are not uniform in the plate and significantly affect the stress field caused by additional time-harmonic dynamical forces acting on the upper face of the plate. Hence, for solving the boundary-value problem considered, the superposition principle is unsuitable. Therefore, our investigations are carried out within the framework of the three-dimensional linearized theory of elastic waves in initially stressed bodies. The corresponding boundary- value problems on determining the initial and additional, dynamical stress states are solved by using the three-dimensional finite-element method. Numerical results on stress concentrations around the cylindrical hole and the fundamental frequencies, and on the influence of the initial stresses on the frequencies are presented.

On the stress distribution in a rectangular thick plate of a composite material with curved structure under forced vibration

The stress distribution in a rectangular plate of a multilayer composite material with a periodically curved structure under forced vibration is studied. It is assumed that the plate is hinge supported at opposite sides. The investigation is carried out within the exact three-dimensional linear theory of elasticity. The mechanical relationships of the plate material are described by the continuum theory of Akbarov and Guz'. The numerical results obtained by the finite element method show that even in low-frequency dynamic loading of the plate the extreme values of stresses, which appear as a result of the curving in the plate structure, considerably exceed those in the corresponding static loading.Institute of Mathematics and Mechanics, Academy of Sciences of Azerbaijan, Baku, Azerbaijan.

Stress Analysis for a Thick Rectangular Plate of a Composite Material with a Spatially Periodically Curved Structure under Forced Vibration

Natural and forced vibrations of a thick rectangular plate fabricated from a composite material with a spatially periodically curved structure are investigated with the use of exact three-dimensional equations of motion of the theory of elastic anisotropic bodies. The investigations are carried out within the framework of the continuum approach developed by Akbarov and Guz'. It is supposed that the plate is clamped at all its edges and is loaded on the upper face with uniformly distributed normal forces periodically changing with time. The influence of curving parameters on the fundamental frequency of the plate and on the distribution of the normal stress acting in the thickness direction under forced vibration is studied. The corresponding boundary-value problems are solved numerically by employing the three- dimensional FEM modeling.     

Stress distribution caused by two neighboring out-of-plane locally cophasally curved fibers in a composite material

In the present paper, within the framework of a piecewise homogenous body model, with the use of the exact three-dimensional equations of elasticity theory, a method proposed earlier is developed for investigating the stress distribution caused by two neighboring out-of-plane locally cophasally curved fibers located along two parallel planes in an infinite elastic body. The body is loaded at infinity by uniformly distributed normal forces in the direction of fiber location. The self-equilibrated normal and shear stresses caused by the curved fibers are analyzed, and the influences of interaction between the fibers and of the geometric nonlinearity on the distribution of these stresses are studied. Numerical results for this interaction are obtained.

An accurate method to predict the stress concentration in composite laminates with a circular hole under tensile loading

The paper presents a theoretical-numerical hybrid method for determining the stresses distribution in composite laminates containing a circular hole and subjected to uniaxial tensile loading. The method is based upon an appropriate corrective function allowing a simple and rapid evaluation of stress distributions in a generic plate of finite width with a hole based on the theoretical stresses distribution in an infinite plate with the same hole geometry and material. In order to verify the accuracy of the method proposed, various numerical and experimental tests have been performed by considering different laminate lay-ups; in particular, the experimental results have shown that a combined use of the method proposed and the well-know point-stress criterion leads to reliable strength predictions for GFRP or CFRP laminates with a circular hole.

Wedging of an elastic wedge by a rigid plate under conditions of contact with detaching

We consider a problem of wedging of an elastic wedge by a rigid plate along an edge crack that is located on the axis of symmetry of the wedge and reaches its vertex. The detachment of the crack faces from the surfaces of the plate is taken into account. Using the Wiener–Hopf method, we obtain an analytic solution of the problem. The size of the detachment zone, the stress intensity factor, the distribution of stresses on the line of continuation of the crack and in the contact domain, and circular displacements of the crack faces are determined.     

Model of a layered plate considering nonideal contact between layers

We propose a mathematical model for doing calculations for layered plates, allowing for both rigid and sliding contact in the presence of frictional forces between the sliding layers. The model takes into account the distribution of tangential and normal displacements across the thickness of the sliding layered stack, and also the distribution of transverse normal stresses. The strain tensor is obtained using the Cauchy relations; the stress tensor is obtained based on Hooke's law. Tne Lagrange variational principle allows us to obtain the resolvent system of differential equations and the corresponding boundary conditions. The spatial model for deformation of a layered plate has a number of special features compared with familiar models. The system of differential equations has operators no higher than second order. It is described relative to displacements on the faces of the stack. This is convenient in solving problems involving sliding of layers with and without friction.Translated from Mekhanika Kompozitnykh Materialov, Vol. 31, No. 5, pp. 671–676, September–October 1995.     

Flow of a Maxwell fluid between two side walls induced by a constantly accelerating plate

The unsteady flow of a Maxwell fluid induced by a constantly accelerating plate between two side walls perpendicular to the plate is studied. Exact solutions for the velocity field are established by means of the Fourier sine transforms. The adequate tangential stresses are also determined. The similar solutions for a Newtonian fluid are obtained as limiting cases of our solutions. In the absence of the side walls, the similar solutions for the unsteady flow over an infinite flat plate are recovered. Finally, for comparison, the velocity field in the middle of the channel and the shear stresses at the bottom wall and on the side walls are plotted for different values of the material constants.      

具有凸缘加劲肋圆孔的应力分析

本文讨论无限平面内具有凸缘加劲肋圆孔的应力分析问题。所谓凸缘加劲肋系指孔周用型钢或其他形状的构件加劲,进行应力分析时难以将其视为板的一部分来处理的加劲肋。文中讨论了两种荷载情形:一为薄板在无限远点处应力σ_X(∞),σ_Y(∞)及τ_XY(∞)的作用;另一为薄板受线性应力的作用。分析方法是:将加劲肋视为圆形杆件,把加劲肋与薄板间相互作用之径向力q₀(θ)及切向力t₀(θ)表示成三角级数,分别求出加劲肋轴线之位移与具有圆孔薄板孔周之位移,利用加劲肋与薄板孔周变形一致的变形协调条件,确定径向力q₀(θ)及切向力t₀(θ),从而得到加劲肋及薄板之位移和内力的算式。     

The influence of coupled diffusion of heat and moisture on the state of stress in a plate

The fundamental results of previous reports on the coupling of the processes of diffusion of heat and moisture in solids are reviewed. The influence of the coupling on diffusion into an infinite plate from both its surfaces is discussed with the aim of clarifying what can and cannot be learned from such experiments. The nonuniformity of temperature and moisture content tends to cause nonuniform deformation. The stresses set up are computed for a homogeneous, isotropic plate. These self-equilibrating stresses first increase with time and then die out. For some combinations of material constants, the stresses undergo a reversal. For example, in some cases the surface stresses initially become compressive as moisture begins diffusing into the plate. Subsequently, as the interior of the plate increases in temperature due to the coupling effect, the surface stresses become tensile before eventually subsiding to zeroPublished in Mekhanika Kompozitnykh Materialov, No. 1, pp. 53–61, January–February, 1980.     

An improved closed-form solution to interfacial stresses in rc beams strengthened with a composite plate

The strengthening of concrete structures in situ with externally bonded fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) composite sheets is increasingly being used for the repair and rehabilitation of existing structures. However, debonding along the FRP-concrete interface can lead to premature failure of the structures. The interfacial stresses have played a significant role in understanding this premature debonding failure of such repaired structures. In this paper, an improved theoretical analysis of the interfacial stresses is presented for a simply supported concrete beam bonded with a FRP plate. The shear strains of the adherends have been included in the present theoretical analysis by assuming a parabolic distribution of shear stress across their thickness. Contrary to some existing studies, the assumption that both adherends have the same curvature is not used in the present investigation. The results of this numerical study are beneficial for understanding the mechanical behavior of material interfaces and for the design of hybrid FRP-reinforced concrete structures.

Bending of plates made of oriented glass-reinforced plastics

A plate made of oriented glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) is treated as a regular medium with numerous anisotropic layers. The problem of bending is solved in the elastic formulation of the problem without the use of the hypothesis of undeformed normals and a preliminary specification of the law of distribution of shearing stresses in transverse planes. The important effect of shear strains on the deflections and stresses in plates of oriented GRP is illustrated in the example of a simply supported square plate with transverse isotropy. An estimate is given of the errors introduced by arbitrary specification of the law of distribution of shearing stresses.Mekhanika Polimerov, Vol. 1, No. 3, pp. 129–136, 1965

Laminar boundary layers along an infinite porous plate in the presence of a transverse magnetic field

Exact solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations are derived by a Laplace-transform technique for two-dimensional, incompressible flow of an electrically conducting fluid past on infinite porous plate. It is assumed that the flow is independent of the distance parallel to the plate and that the velocity component normal to the plate is constant. A general formula is derived for the velocity distribution in terms of the given external velocity. The skin friction is obtained and some special cases are considered.
