软铁磁薄板磁弹性屈曲的理论模型

铁磁弹性薄板的磁弹性屈曲问题一直作为电磁——弹性力学相互作用的一个基本模型进行研究，而作用在其磁介质上的磁力计算则是定量理论预测准确与否的关键．到目前为止，文献上已有的理论模型对悬臂铁磁梁式悬臂板在横向磁场中磁弹性屈曲的理论预测值始终高于实验值，有的甚至相差１００％左右．本文基于电磁力计算的微观安培电流模型，严格给出了软铁磁薄板等效横向磁力的宏观计算表达式．在此基础上，建立了电磁——力学相互耦合作用的非线性理论模型．该模型能描述铁磁薄板结构在非均匀横向磁场环境中的磁弹性失稳（或屈曲）．其定量分析采用了有限元法和有限差分法相结合．数值结果显示：本模型给出的磁弹性屈曲的临界磁场值与实验值符合良好．与此同时，文中还对文献中认为较成功的Ｍｏｏｎ－Ｐａｏ模型的基本假设进行了分析．定量结果发现：Ｍｏｏｎ－Ｐａｏ理论模型的基本假设仅在梁式板的长厚比Ｌ／ｈ比较大时（约在２００左右），是可以接受的，而当Ｌ／ｈ较小时，该假设将导致理论值与实验值的较大误差．Ｌ／ｈ比值越小，理论值与实验值的误差越大     

Prediction of buckling characteristics of carbon nanotubes

In this paper, to investigate the buckling characteristics of carbon nanotubes, an equivalent beam model is first constructed. The molecular mechanics potentials in a C–C covalent bond are transformed into the form of equivalent strain energy stored in a three dimensional (3D) virtual beam element connecting two carbon atoms. Then, the equivalent stiffness parameters of the beam element can be estimated from the force field constants of the molecular mechanics theory. To evaluate the buckling loads of multi-walled carbon nanotubes, the effects of van-der Waals forces are further modeled using a newly proposed rod element. Then, the buckling characteristics of nanotubes can be easily obtained using a 3D beam and rod model of the traditional finite element method (FEM). The results of this numerical model are in good agreement with some previous results, such as those obtained from molecular dynamics computations. This method, designated as molecular structural mechanics approach, is thus proved to be an efficient means to predict the buckling characteristics of carbon nanotubes. Moreover, in the case of nanotubes with large length/diameter, the validity of Euler’s beam buckling theory and a shell model with the proper material properties defined from the results of present 3D FEM beam model is investigated to reduce the computational cost. The results of these simple theoretical models are found to agree well with the existing experimental results.     

Flexural–torsional buckling of misaligned axially moving beams. I. Three-dimensional modeling,equilibria, and bifurcations

The equations of motion for the flexural–flexural–torsional–extensional dynamics of a beam are generalized to the field of axially moving continua by including the effects of translation speed and initial tension. The governing equations are simplified on the basis of physically justifiable assumptions and are shown to reduce to simpler models published in the literature. The resulting nonlinear equations of motion are used to investigate the flexural–torsional buckling of translating continua such as belts and tapes caused by parallel pulley misalignment.The effect of pulley misalignment on the steady motion (equilibrium) solutions and the bifurcation characteristics of the system are investigated numerically. The system undergoes multiple pitchfork bifurcations as misalignment is increased, with out-of-plane equilibria born at each bifurcation. The amount of misalignment to cause buckling and the post-buckled shapes are determined for various translation speeds and ratios of the flexural stiffnesses in the two bending planes. Increasing translation speed decreases the misalignment necessary to cause flexural–torsional buckling. In Part II of the present work, the stability and vibration characteristics of the planar and non-planar equilibria are analyzed.     

Magnetoelastic buckling: Why theory and experiment disagree

This paper does not stand alone; it is directly related to N.S. Christopherson's experimental study^1,2 of the magnetoelastic bending of thin steel plates, presented at a recent SEM meeting. It is, in fact, an extension of that study and relies upon some of Christopherson's data.In 1968, Moon and Pao presented a theory of the magnetoelastic buckling of a beam plate in a uniform magnetic field which differed from experimental results by a factor of two. Attempts to explain the discrepancy still leave approximately 25-percent error in the theoretical results as compared with experiment.We show that the assumption made by Moon and Pao—that a plate element experiences a force system consisting only of a couple, whose magnitude is proportional to the rotation of the element—is invalid for finite plates. An experiment is suggested for determining whether the assumption is valid for infinite plates. The present state of knowledge concerning magnetoelastic buckling is briefly summarized. Several types of magnetoelastic buckling are identified and briefly contrasted. Attention is directed to the importance of field discontinuities in problems involving magnetic deformation. Two paradoxical aspects of the Moon-Pao formula for the magnetoelastic buckling of beam plates are pointed out and briefly discussed.     

Predicting buckling loads from vibration data

There are analytical methods for predicting the buckling loads of columns with the boundaries ideally fixed, i.e., simply supported or built-in, or partially fixed. Vibration-test results may furnish a practical method of measuring the fixity. In this investigation a beam, that may or may not be loaded as a column, is assumed to have a torsional spring at each end such that a zero torsional stiffness corresponds to a simply supported end and an infinite torsional stiffness corresponds to a built-in end. From a Rayleigh-Ritz analysis, the buckling load and the fundamental frequency of the beam are each computed as a function of the torsional stiffness. This procedure leads to a one-to-one nondimensional relationship between the buckling load and the natural frequency. From these calculations, it is seen that regardless of the degree of clamping of one end relative to the other end, all that is needed to predict the buckling load within a 15-percent range is a knowledge of the theoretical buckling load of the simply supported column; the theoretical fundamental frequency of the simply supported beam; and the experimental fundamental frequency. Experimental results are presented to support the theory.

Influence of shear deformation on the buckling of elastically supported beams

Summary The influence of shear deformation on the buckling behavior of a beam supported laterally by a Winkler elastic foundation is studied. A full investigation of the bifurcation points at which, under axial load, the beam becomes critical with respect to one or two simultaneous buckling modes is made. The configurations and stabilities of the equilibrium paths that bifurcate from the critical points are derived. From the results of theoretical analysis, it becomes evident that shear deformation has a considerable effect upon the equilibriums and stabilities of the post-buckling of the beam. The results for the Bernoulli-Euler beam can be obtained as a limiting case for those of the present beam by letting the shear stiffness tend to infinity.Supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China     

A theoretical model of magnetoelastic bucking for soft ferromagnetic thin plates

As an essential model of magnetoelastic interaction between magnetic field and mechanical deformation, the study on magnetoelastic buckling phenomenon of soft ferromagnetic plates in a magnetic environment has been conducted. One of the key steps for the theoretical prediction of the critical magnetic field is how to formulate magnetic force exerted on the magnetized medium. Till today, the theoretical predictions, from theoretical models in publications, of the magnetoelastic buckling of ferromagnetic cantilevered beam-plate in transverse magnetic field are all higher than their experimental data. Sometimes, the discrepancy between them is as high as 100%. In this paper, the macroscope formulation of the magnetic forces is strictly obtained from the microscope Amperion current model. After that, a new theoretical model is established to describe the magnetoelastic buckling phenomenon of ferromagnetic thin plates with geometrically nonlinear deformation in a nonuniform transverse magnetic field. The numerical method for quantitative analysis is employed by combining the finite elemental method for magnetic fields and the finite difference method for deformation of plates. The numerical results obtained from this new theoretical model show that the theoretical predictions of critical values of the buckling magnetic field for the ferromagnetic cantilevered beam-plate are in excellent agreement with their experimental data. By the way, the region of applicability to the Moon-Pao's model, or the couple model, is checked by quantitative results. This project was supported in part by the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the Foundation of the SEdC of China for Returned Chinese Scholars from Abroad.     

Buckling test and optimum design of fiber reinforced composite plates under compression

In this paper, the conclusion that the experimental results coincide with theoretical analysis has been got through buckling test of 283 composite rectangular plates. It is confirmed that the critical loads of composite plates calculated by buckling theoretical formula of anisotropic plate are reliable. The selections of optimal content of matrix and optimal off-axis which make fiber reinforced composite plates reach biggest critical loads are also discussed in this paper. The result of analysis may be used in the design for the products.     

Vibrations and buckling of axially loaded stiffened cylindrical shells with elastic restraints

A theory is derived for calculation of the influence of elastic edge restraints on the vibrations and buckling of stiffened cylindrical shells. The stiffeners are considered “smeared” and the edge restraints can be axial, radial, circumferential or rotational. Extensive computations are performed for special kinds of stringer-stiffened shells, and the theoretical predictions are compared with experimental results. A method of definition of equivalent elastically restrained boundary conditions by use of vibration tests is discussed. Application of this technique to tests on 10 shells significantly reduces the scatter in the ratio of experimental to predicted buckling loads.     

Alignment and application of the conical shadowgraph flow visualization technique

An optical bench study has been carried out to assess the effects of both beam alignment and nonconical disturbances in the application of conical shadowgraphy for flow visualization. Conical and quasiconical plastic test models were immersed in a refractive index matching fluid and then examined by shadowgraphy with a conical light beam. The results show that problems of interpretation may arise due to both axial and transverse beam misalignment. Among these difficulties, axial misalignment with positive vertex displacement is the least serious. Also, the effect of a particular nonconical disturbance field was found to introduce fewer difficulties of interpretation than that of beam misalignment.     

Sandwich column buckling – A hyperelastic formulation

The macro-buckling equations for a sandwich column are developed. A layer-wise Timoshenko beam displacement approximation is assumed. The constitutive relationships and equilibrium equations for the core and face sheets are derived using a consistent hyperelastic neo-Hookean formulation. The derivations in this paper are consistent with that of Haringx’s and Reissner’s proposal for beam actions. The buckling formulation includes the axial deformation prior to buckling and the transverse shear deformation of the core and face sheets. The buckling equations derived agree with the equation of [Allen, H.G., 1969. Analysis and Design of Structural Sandwich Panels, Pergamon, Oxford] for thick faces but are also applicable to any ratio of face sheet to core thickness and material properties. The formulation is compared to experimental results for sandwich columns and shows good comparison except for very short columns. The formulation is also compared to the buckling experimental results for short rubber rods and also compared well. The formulation does not predict a shear buckling mode.

The buckling behavior of uniformly heated thin circular cylindrical shells

The results of buckling tests on uniformly heated, clamped, thin circular cylindrical shells are presented and discussed. Particular attention is paid to both the actual buckling process and the ensuing post-buckling behavior. Load vs. end-shortening curves are included. The possibility of “snap-through” buckling which occurs at a value of end shortening greater than that corresponding to the maximum supported load is experimentally verified. A comparison of the present experimental results with available theory is made. It is observed that the experimental values of the buckling temperature can be substantially greater than the temperatures calculated by linear theory from the experimental buckling loads; however, the buckling stresses are the same whether the loading is thermal or mechanical.     

Continuum-based stability of anisotropic and auxetic beams

The critical buckling loads of pinned-pinned and cantilever beams are computed using the equations of three-dimensional elasticity rather than typical beam theories. These loads are influenced both by the nature of the assumed displacement field over the beam cross-section and by the inclusion of the terms from the full constitutive tensor. Of special interest are beams that are either anisotropic or auxetic. For anisotropic beams, an increased ratio of longitudinal to shear modulus for cantilevered beams increases the generation of shear buckling rather than flexural buckling. For isotropic auxetic beams, the values of Poisson ratio that define the limit between buckling loads that approach the classical buckling load from above or below are discussed.

局部削弱压杆的稳定性实验研究

因为缺乏相关的理论和实验研究,局部削弱压杆的临界载荷通常按无削弱压杆处理.工程中,局部削弱压杆的使用极为普遍.对局部削弱压杆的稳定性的定量研究结果,无论是工程中,还是材料力学教学中都是迫切需要的.本文在前人理论研究的基础上,对局部削弱压杆的临界载荷作了定量的实验研究.试验结果表明,对细长压杆,即使削弱部分的刚度下降达到38.9%,对失稳临界载荷的影响仍可忽略;试验结果与黄玉珊提出的对局部削弱压杆稳定性的定量计算方法也比较接近.研究结果对部分工程问题和材料力学教学都具有一定的指导意义.     

Experimental and theoretical studies on buckling of thin-walled MHS compressed between two rigid plates

This paper presents the theoretical and experiment results of buckling behavior of thin-walled metallic hollow sphere (MHS) compressed between two rigid plates. The first critical buckling load of MHS has been derived. It is shown that the critical load is related to the radius, thickness of the sphere shell, the elastic modulus, and Poisson’s Ratio of the material. Two hemispheres are welded to make the MHS with three different angles of welding-line. The quasi-static compressive experiment of the MHS has been carried out, and the load-deformation curves are obtained. To match theoretical and experimental results, a modified equation is presented. Then a good agreement between the theoretical and the experimental results is obtained.
