Thermoelastoplastic Bending of Complexly Reinforced Plates

A problem on the transverse-longitudinal bending of reinforced plates of variable thickness under a thermal-force loading is formulated. A qualitative analysis of the problem is carried out, and a way of its linearization is indicated. Calculations of isotropic and metal composite plates subjected to the transverse or transverse-longitudinal bending showed that their bearing capacity in the elastoplastic bending is a number of times (occasionally, by an order of magnitude) greater than in the elastic bending. The heating of the plates sharply decreases their resistance to the bending in the case of elasticity and affects it only slightly in the case of elastoplasticity. In the elastoplastic bending, the bearing capacity of the metal composite plate a number of times exceeds that of isotropic plates made of conventional structural metal alloys. __________ Translated from Mekhanika Kompozitnykh Materialov, Vol. 41, No. 6, pp. 715–742, November–December, 2005.     

A method of asymptotic expansions of the solutions of the steady heat conduction problem for laminated non-uniform anisotropic plates

Outer asymptotic expansions of the solutions of the steady heat conduction problem for laminated anisotropic non-uniform plates for different boundary conditions on the faces are constructed. The two-dimensional resolvents obtained are analysed and the asymptotic properties of the solutions of the heat-conduction problem are investigated. Estimates are obtained of the accuracy with which the temperature in the plate outside the limits of the boundary layer can be assumed to be piecewise-linearly or piecewise-quadratically distributed over the thickness of the laminated structure. A physical justification for certain features of the asymptotic expansions of the temperature is given.

The dynamic behaviour of piezoelectric laminated bars

A theory of laminated electroelastic bars with layers arranged symmetrically about the middle plane of the bar is constructed. Particular attention is given to the influence of the electrical conditions on the faces of the piezoelectric layers on the equations of the theory of bars. Formulae are obtained which, after solving the problem of a laminated bar, enable one to transfer from one-dimensional required quantities to three-dimensional required quantities. As an example, the vibrations of a three-layer electroelastic bar are considered, the displacements, stresses and electrical quantities are calculated, and the dependence of the electromechanical coupling coefficient on the frequency of the vibrations and the thicknesses of the elastic and piezoelectric layers is investigated.

Nonlinear vibration of moderately thick laminated beams using finite element method

A finite element model is developed to study the large-amplitude free vibrations of generally-layered laminated composite beams. The Poisson effect, which is often neglected, is included in the laminated beam constitutive equation. The large deformation is accounted for by using von Karman strains and the transverse shear deformation is incorporated using a higher order theory. The beam element has eight degrees of freedom with the inplane displacement, transverse displacement, bending slope and bending rotation as the variables at each node. The direct iteration method is used to solve the nonlinear equations which are evaluated at the point of reversal of motion. The influence of boundary conditions, beam geometries, Poisson effect, and ply orientations on the nonlinear frequencies and mode shapes are demonstrated.     

Nonlinear free dynamic response of laminated compressible cylindrical shell panels

The governing equations for a free dynamic response of a symmetrically laminated composite shell are used to analyze a nonlinear differential panel. The FEM and the Lindstedt–Poincare perturbation technique are invoked to construct a uniform asymptotic expansion of the solution to a nonlinear differential equation ofmotion. A comparison between numerical and finite-element methods for analyzing a symmetrically laminated graphite/epoxy shell panel is performed to show that the nonlinearities are of hardening type and are more repeated for smaller opening angles. It is also shown that large-amplitude motions are dominated by lower modes.     

Free Vibration Analysis of Laminated Composite Plates Resting on Elastic Foundations by Using a Refined Hyperbolic Shear Deformation Theory

The free vibration of laminated composite plates on elastic foundations is examined by using a refined hyperbolic shear deformation theory. This theory is based on the assumption that the transverse displacements consist of bending and shear components where the bending components do not contribute to shear forces, and likewise, the shear components do not contribute to bending moments. The most interesting feature of this theory is that it allows for parabolic distributions of transverse shear stresses across the plate thickness and satisfies the conditions of zero shear stresses at the top and bottom surfaces of the plate without using shear correction factors. The number of independent unknowns in the present theory is four, as against five in other shear deformation theories. In the analysis, the foundation is modeled as a two-parameter Pasternak-type foundation, or as a Winkler-type one if the second foundation parameter is zero. The equation of motion for simply supported thick laminated rectangular plates resting on an elastic foundation is obtained through the use of Hamilton’s principle. The numerical results found in the present analysis for free the vibration of cross-ply laminated plates on elastic foundations are presented and compared with those available in the literature. The theory proposed is not only accurate, but also efficient in predicting the natural frequencies of laminated composite plates.     

Analysis of Thick Laminated Composite Plates on an Elastic Foundation with the Use of Various Plate Theories

In this study, various theories of composite laminated plates are extended to rectangular composite laminates resting on an elastic foundation. First, an analysis based on the classical theory of laminated plates is employed. Then the first-order Reissner-Mindlin theory is used for analyzing the laminates. At last, the Reddy shear deformation theory, which allows for the transverse shear strains, is applied to the bending analysis of the laminates. In the analysis, the two-parameter Pasternak and Winkler foundations are considered. The accuracy of the present analysis is demonstrated by solving problems numerical results for which are available in the literature. Some numerical examples are presented to compare the three methods and to illustrate the effects of parameters of the elastic foundations on the bending of shear-deformable laminated plates. __________ Russian translation published in Mekhanika Kompozitnykh Materialov, Vol. 41, No. 5, pp. 663–682, September–October, 2005.     

Load-deformation relations in second-order elasticity

A method for determining overall load-deformation relations for small-strain elastic deformations has been adapted so that second-order elastic effects can be included in certain overall quantities, such as bending stiffness, without explicit determination of the second-order solution. The approach uses Betti's Reciprocal Theorem. The strains are considered small enough that third-order effects can be neglected but there is no restriction on the magnitude of the displacements. The method is applied to obtain the resultant force and moment to second order for cylindrical bars with arbitrary cross section under torsion, extension and torsion, bending by an end load, and twisting and bending to helical form.

分析复合材料层合板弯曲和振动的一种有效无网格方法

基于高阶剪切法向变形板理论（HOSNDPT）利用无网格方法对层合板弯曲和振动问题进行数值分析.在通常的径向点插值法（RPIM）中对每个Gauss(高斯)点或计算点需要求矩矩阵的逆,且受到影响域半径大小的限制.而在加权节点径向点插值法（WN-RPIM） 近似中,求解系统矩阵的逆的数量等于问题域中的节点数量,它远远小于Gauss点的数目,可以大大减少矩矩阵求逆的计算量,且克服了RPIM中影响域半径大小的限制.首先,将三维板位移分解成厚度和面内位移的乘积,在厚度方向使用正交Legendre多项式作为基函数,在板的面内使用WN RPIM来构造形函数.然后,通过对层合板的弯曲问题进行数值计算表明WN-RPIM的计算精度和稳定性.最后,将该方法推广到对不同边界条件、不同厚跨比、不同铺设方式的层合板振动问题的数值计算,数值结果表明了本文提供方法的适用性和有效性.

Asymptotically exact joining conditions at the junction of plates with very different characteristics

The phenomenon of the boundary layer which occurs when plates are joined is studied A procedure for deriving the asymptotically exact joining (transmission) conditions which associate the two-dimensional equations for the deformation of the plates along the joining line Γ is developed using the method of matched asymptotic expansions. Two situations are discussed in which these conditions turn out to be non-standard: the bending moment in Γ must disappear and the deflection can undergo a jump (for real values of the physical parameters, the longitudinal displacements and forces as well as the bending and the shearing force always remain continuous). One of the situations (the joining of “thick, soft” and a “thin, rigid” shells) is characteristic of a moving loudspeaker system. The results of a numerical experiment, which confirm the asymptotic analysis of the problem, are presented.     

Two new hyperbolic shear displacement models for orthotropic laminated composite plates

Two hyperbolic displacement models, HPSDT1 and HPSDT2, are developed for a bending analysis of orthotropic laminated composite plates. These models take into account the parabolic distribution of transverse shear stresses and satisfy the condition of zero shear stresses on the top and bottom surfaces of the plates. The accuracy of the analysis presented is demonstrated by comparing the results with solutions derived from other higher-order models and with data found in the literature. It is established that the HPSDT1 model is more accurate than some theories of laminates developed previously, and therefore the analysis can be expanded to laminated composite shells.     

Influence of fixation conditions and material anisotropy on the frequency spectrum of laminated beams

To accurately determine the influence of fixation conditions and material anisotropy of laminated beams on their dynamic properties, a new method for analyzing their stress is used. The theoretical model takes into account the transverse shear and normal deformations of layers and the nonlinear variation of in-plane displacements across the thickness of each layer. The stress-strain state in the region of fixation of a beam and its influence on the bending stiffness of the beam is examined. The frequency spectrum of laminated beams is also analyzed in relation to the anisotropic mechanical properties of layers and the configuration of the fixation unit.     

Geometrically nonlinear bending analysis of laminated composite plate

In this work, a transverse bending of shear deformable laminated composite plates in Green–Lagrange sense accounting for the transverse shear and large rotations are presented. Governing equations are developed in the framework of higher order shear deformation theory. All higher order terms arising from nonlinear strain–displacement relations are included in the formulation. The present plate theory satisfies zero transverse shear strains conditions at the top and bottom surfaces of the plate in von-Karman sense. A C⁰ isoparametric finite element is developed for the present nonlinear model. Numerical results for the laminated composite plates of orthotropic materials with different system parameters and boundary conditions are found out. The results are also compared with those available in the literature. Some new results with different parameters are also presented.
