Stochastic nonlinear bending response of laminated composite plates with system randomness under lateral pressure and thermal loading

In this paper, the effect of sensitivity of randomness in system parameters on the nonlinear transverse central deflection response of laminated composite plates subjected to transverse uniform lateral pressure and thermal loading is examined. System parameters such as the lamina material properties, expansion of thermal coefficients, lamina plate thickness and lateral load are modelled as basic random variables. A higher order shear deformation theory in the von-Karman sense is used to model the system behavior of the laminated plate. A direct iterative-based C ⁰ nonlinear finite element method in conjunction with the first-order perturbation technique developed by the authors is extended for thermal problem to obtain the second-order response statistics, i.e., mean and variance of the nonlinear transverse deflection of the plate. Typical numerical results of composite plates with temperature independent and dependent material properties subjected to uniform temperature and combination of uniform and transverse temperature are obtained for various combinations of geometric parameters, uniform lateral pressures, staking sequences and boundary conditions. The results have been compared with those available in the literature and an independent Monte Carlo simulation.

Theoretical and experimental studies on nonlinear oscillations of symmetric cross-ply composite laminated plates

The nonlinear oscillations and resonant responses of the symmetric cross-ply composite laminated plates are investigated theoretically and experimentally. The governing equations of motion for the composite laminated plate are derived by using the von Karman type equation, Reddy’s third-order shear deformation plate theory, and Galerkin method with the geometric nonlinearity. The four-dimensional averaged equation is obtained by using the method of multiple scales. The frequency-response functions are analyzed under the consideration of strongly coupled of two modes. The influences of the resonance case on the softening and hardening type of nonlinearity are analyzed with different parameters for the composite laminated plates. The numerical results indicate that there exist the hardening and softening types of the composite laminated plate in the specific resonant case. The variation of the response amplitudes is studied for the composite laminated plate under combined the transverse and in-plane excitations. A sweep frequency experiment is performed to obtain the hardening and softening nonlinearities of a composite laminated plate. The experimental results coincide with the numerical results qualitatively. The influences of the excitation amplitudes on the softening and hardening types of nonlinearity are also analyzed for the composite laminated plate. The amplitude spectrums of the test plate also demonstrate that the change of the nonlinear dynamic responses may be caused by the subharmonic resonance.

Effects of transverse shear on the nonlinear bending of rectangular plates laminated of bimodular composite materials

This paper investigates the application of Dynamic-Relaxation (DR) method to the problems of nonlinear bending of rectangular plates laminated of bimodular composite materials. The classical lamination theory and a shear deformation theory of layered composite plates, taking account of large rotations (in the von Karman sense) are employed separately to analyze the subject. It has been found here that the estimation of the fictitious densities which control the convergence and numerical stability of nonlinear DR solution considering transverse shear effect still needs to be further investigated. In this paper, a procedure to calculate fictitious densities has been presented; hence the numerical stability of this topic has been ensured. In this paper the main steps of solving the nonlinear bending of bimodular composite laminates by means of DR method are outlined. The numerical results are given for simply supported, two-layer cross-ply rectangular plates made of mildly bimodular material (Boron-Epoxy (B-E)) and highly bimodular materials (Aramid-Rubber (A-R) and Polyester-Rubber (P-R)) under sinusoidally distributed and uniformly distributed transverse loads. The results obtained have been compared with linear results and those obtained for laminates fabricated from conventional composite materials, the elastic moduli of which are identical with the tensile moduli of the bimodular materials. In addition, the effect of transverse shear deformation on the nondimensionalized center deflection has been studied.The main contents of this paper were presented at the International Symposium of Composite Materials and Structures (June 1986, Beijing).The authors thank Prof. Zhou Li for his guidance.     

考虑横法向热应变的C~0型Reddy板理论和三角形板单元

考虑横法向热变形,建议了C0型Reddy理论,并用于分析复合材料层合/夹层板热膨胀问题。虽然考虑了横法向热应变,但不增加额外的位移变量。此理论位移场不含有横向位移一阶导数,构造有限元时仅需C0插值函数。基于这一模型,运用虚位移原理推导了复合材料板平衡方程以及构造了6节点三角形板单元,并分析了简支复合材料层合/夹层板的热膨胀问题。数值结果表明,建立的模型能准确分析复合材料层合/夹层板热膨胀问题,而忽略横法向热应变的理论分析热膨胀问题误差较大。     

Corotational nonlinear analyses of laminated shell structures using a 4-node quadrilateral flat shell element with drilling stiffness

A new 4-node quadrilateral flat shell element is developed for geometrically nonlinear analyses of thin and moderately thick laminated shell structures. The fiat shell element is constructed by combining a quadrilateral area co- ordinate method （QAC） based membrane element AGQ6- II, and a Timoshenko beam function （TBF） method based shear deformable plate bending element ARS-Q12. In order to model folded plates and connect with beam elements, the drilling stiffness is added to the element stiffness matrix based on the mixed variational principle. The transverse shear rigidity matrix, based on the first-order shear deformation theory （FSDT）, for the laminated composite plate is evaluated using the transverse equilibrium conditions, while the shear correction factors are not needed. The conventional TBF methods are also modified to efficiently calculate the element stiffness for laminate. The new shell element is extended to large deflection and post-buckling analyses of isotropic and laminated composite shells based on the element independent corotational formulation. Numerical re- sults show that the present shell element has an excellent numerical performance for the test examples, and is applicable to stiffened plates.

Time-varying nonlinear dynamics of a deploying piezoelectric laminated composite plate under aerodynamic force

Using Reddy’s high-order shear theory for laminated plates and Hamilton’s principle, a nonlinear partial differential equation for the dynamics of a deploying cantilevered piezoelectric laminated composite plate, under the combined action of aerodynamic load and piezoelectric excitation, is introduced. Two-degree of freedom (DOF) nonlinear dynamic models for the time-varying coefficients describing the transverse vibration of the deploying laminate under the combined actions of a first-order aerodynamic force and piezoelectric excitation were obtained by selecting a suitable time-dependent modal function satisfying the displacement boundary conditions and applying second-order discretization using the Galerkin method. Using a numerical method, the time history curves of the deploying laminate were obtained, and its nonlinear dynamic characteristics, including extension speed and different piezoelectric excitations, were studied. The results suggest that the piezoelectric excitation has a clear effect on the change of the nonlinear dynamic characteristics of such piezoelectric laminated composite plates. The nonlinear vibration of the deploying cantilevered laminate can be effectively suppressed by choosing a suitable voltage and polarity.

LARGE AMPLITUDE FREE VIBRATIONS OF LAMINATED COMPOSITE PLATES

This paper deals with large amplitude free flexural vibrations of laminated composite plates using a 9-node Heterosis degenerated isoparametric quadrilateral element, including the effects of transverse shear and rotary inertia. The nonlinear dynamic equations of the plates are formulated in von Karman's sense. Amplitude-frequency relationships are obtained through dynamic response history using the Newmark numerical integration scheme. Detailed numerical results based on various parameters are presented for orthotropic laminated plates with different boundary conditions. The rectangular anti-symmetric cross-ply plates show the softening type of nonlinearity for initial small amplitudes. The displacement amplitudes decrease and nonlinear frequencies increase with the increment of time.
