Size-dependent axial buckling analysis of functionally graded circular cylindrical microshells based on the modified strain gradient elasticity theory

In this paper, a size-dependent first-order shear deformable shell model is developed based upon the modified strain gradient theory (MSGT) for the axial buckling analysis of functionally graded (FG) circular cylindrical microshells. It is assumed that the material properties of FG materials, which obey a simple power-law distribution, vary through the thickness direction. The principle of virtual work is utilized to formulate the governing equations and corresponding boundary conditions. Numerical results are presented for the axial buckling of FG circular cylindrical microshells subject to simply-supported end conditions and the effects of material length scale parameter, material property gradient index, length-to-radius ratio and circumferential mode number on the size-dependent critical buckling load are extensively studied. For comparison purpose, the critical buckling loads predicted by modified couple stress theory (MCST) and classical theory (CT) are also presented. Results show that the size effect plays an important role for lower values of dimensionless length scale parameter. Moreover, it is observed that the critical buckling loads obtained based on MSGT are greater than those obtained based on MCST and CT.     

Vibration and wave propagation analysis of twisted micro-beam using strain gradient theory

In this research, vibration and wave propagation analysis of a twisted microbeam on Pasternak foundation is investigated. The strain-displacement relations (kinematic equations) are calculated by the displacement fields of the twisted micro-beam. The strain gradient theory (SGT) is used to implement the size dependent effect at microscale. Finally, using an energy method and Hamilton’s principle, the governing equations of motion for the twisted micro-beam are derived. Natural frequencies and the wave propagation speed of the twisted micro-beam are calculated with an analytical method. Also, the natural frequency, the phase speed, the cut-off frequency, and the wave number of the twisted micro-beam are obtained by considering three material length scale parameters, the rate of twist angle, the thickness, the length of twisted micro-beam, and the elastic medium. The results of this work indicate that the phase speed in a twisted micro-beam increases with an increase in the rate of twist angle. Moreover, the wave number is inversely related with the thickness of micro-beam. Meanwhile, it is directly related to the wave propagation frequency. Increasing the rate of twist angle causes the increase in the natural frequency especially with higher thickness. The effect of the twist angle rate on the group velocity is observed at a lower wave propagation frequency.

Buckling behavior of perfect and defective DWCNTs under axial, bending and torsional loadings via a structural mechanics approach

The buckling behavior of perfect and defective double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) under axial compressive, torsional and bending loadings is investigated using a structural mechanics model. The effects of van der Waals (vdW) forces are further modeled using a nonlinear spring element. Critical buckling loads, critical buckling moments and the effects of vacancy defects were studied for armchair nanotubes with various aspect ratios. The results show that vacancy defects greatly reduce the critical buckling load of DWCNTs. The density of defects plays an important role in buckling of DWCNTs. The results of this numerical model are in good agreement with their comparable existing works.     

Small scale effects on buckling and postbuckling behaviors of axially loaded FGM nanoshells based on nonlocal strain gradient elasticity theory

By means of a comprehensive theory of elasticity, namely, a nonlocal strain gradient continuum theory, size-dependent nonlinear axial instability characteristics of cylindrical nanoshells made of functionally graded material (FGM) are examined. To take small scale effects into consideration in a more accurate way, a nonlocal stress field parameter and an internal length scale parameter are incorporated simultaneously into an exponential shear deformation shell theory. The variation of material properties associated with FGM nanoshells is supposed along the shell thickness, and it is modeled based on the Mori-Tanaka homogenization scheme. With a boundary layer theory of shell buckling and a perturbation-based solving process, the nonlocal strain gradient load-deflection and load-shortening stability paths are derived explicitly. It is observed that the strain gradient size effect causes to the increases of both the critical axial buckling load and the width of snap-through phenomenon related to the postbuckling regime, while the nonlocal size dependency leads to the decreases of them. Moreover, the influence of the nonlocal type of small scale effect on the axial instability characteristics of FGM nanoshells is more than that of the strain gradient one.     

Size-dependent shear buckling response of FGM skew nanoplates modeled via di?erent homogenization schemes

The size e?ects on the shear buckling behaviors of skew nanoplates made of functionally graded materials(FGMs) are presented. The material properties are supposed to be changed uniformly from the ceramic phase to the metal one along the plate thickness. To estimate the associated e?ective material properties, various homogenization schemes including the Reuss model, the Voigt model, the Mori-Tanaka model, and the Hashin-Shtrikman bound model are used. The nonlocal elasticity theory together with the oblique coordinate system is applied to the higher-order shear deformation plate theory to develop a size-dependent plate model for the shear buckling analysis of FGM skew nanoplates. The Ritz method using Gram-Schmidt shape functions is used to solve the size-dependent problem. It is found that the signi?cance of the nonlocality in the reduction of the shear buckling load of an FGM skew nanoplate increases for a higher value of the material property gradient index. Also, by increasing the skew angle, the critical shear buckling load of an FGM skew nanoplate enhances. This pattern becomes a bit less signi?cant for a higher value of the material property gradient index. Furthermore,among various homogenization models, the Voigt and Reuss models in order estimate the overestimated and underestimated shear buckling loads, and the di?erence between them reduces by increasing the aspect ratio of the skew nanoplate.

DYNAMIC BUCKLING OF DOUBLE-WALLED CARBON NANOTUBES UNDER STEP AXIAL LOAD

An approximate method is presented in this paper for studying the dynamic buckling of double-walled carbon nanotubes （DWNTs） under step axial load. The analysis is based on the continuum mechanics model, which takes into account the van der Waals interaction between the outer and inner nanotubes. A buckling condition is derived, from which the critical buckling load and associated buckling mode can be determined. As examples, numerical results are worked out for DWNTs under fixed boundary conditions. It is shown that, due to the effect of van der Waals forces, the critical buckling load of a DWNT is enhanced when inserting an inner tube into a single-walled one. The paper indicates that the critical buckling load of DWNTs for dynamic buckling is higher than that for static buckling. The effect of the radii is also examined. In addition, some of the results are compared with the previous ones.

Axisymmetric compressive buckling of multi-walled carbon nanotubes under different boundary conditions

The paper studies the axisymmetric compressive buckling behavior of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) under different boundary conditions based on continuum mechanics model. A buckling condition is derived for determining the critical buckling load and associated buckling mode of MWNTs, and numerical results are worked out for MWNTs with different aspect ratios under fixed and simply supported boundary conditions. It is shown that the critical buckling load of MWNTs is insensitive to boundary conditions, except for nanotubes with smaller radii and very small aspect ratio. The associated buckling modes for different layers of MWNTs are in-phase, and the buckling displacement ratios for different layers are independent of the boundary conditions and the length of MWNTs. Moreover, for simply supported boundary conditions, the critical buckling load is compared with the corresponding one for axial compressive buckling, which indicates that the critical buckling load for axial compressive buckling can be well approximated by the corresponding one for axisymmetric compressive buckling. In particular, for axial compressive buckling of double-walled carbon nanotubes, an analytical expression is given for approximating the critical buckling load. The present investigation may be of some help in further understanding the mechanical properties of MWNTs.     

Axial compression buckling of conical and cylindrical shells

Experiments on the axial compression buckling of high-quality epoxy cylindrical shells with imposed dimpletype defects are described. Additionally, a technique for the manufacture of high-quality epoxy conical shells which buckle at loads approaching the classical critical load is presented. For both types of shells, prebuckling deformations have been monitored optically. The sizes of defects determined from the optical examination when applied in the space-frame approach to shell buckling have led to predicted knock-down factors which are remarkably consistent with measured knock-down factors (i.e., the ratio of actual collapse to classical critical load).

The thermal effect on axially compressed buckling of a double-walled carbon nanotube

The thermal effect on axially compressed buckling of a double-walled carbon nanotube is studied in this paper. The effects of temperature change, surrounding elastic medium and van der Waals forces between the inner and outer nanotubes are taken into account. Using continuum mechanics, an elastic double-shell model with thermal effect is presented for axially compressed buckling of a double-walled carbon nanotube embedded in an elastic matrix under thermal environment. Based on the model, an explicit formula for the critical axial stress is derived in terms of the buckling modes of the shell and the parameters that indicate the effects of temperature change, surrounding elastic medium and the van der Waals forces. Based on that, some simplified analysis is carried out to estimate the critical axial stress for axially compressed buckling of the double-walled carbon nanotube. Numerical results for the general case are obtained for the thermal effect on axially compressed buckling of a double-walled carbon nanotube. It is shown that the axial buckling load of double-walled carbon nanotube under thermal loads is dependent on the wave number of axially buckling modes. And a conclusion is drawn that at low and room temperature the critical axial stress for infinitesimal buckling of a double-walled carbon nanotube increase as the value of temperature change increases, while at high temperature the critical axial stress for infinitesimal buckling of a double-walled carbon nanotube decrease as the value of temperature change increases.     

Size-dependent shear buckling response of FGM skew nanoplates modeled via different homogenization schemes

The size effects on the shear buckling behaviors of skew nanoplates made of functionally graded materials (FGMs) are presented. The material properties are supposed to be changed uniformly from the ceramic phase to the metal one along the plate thickness. To estimate the associated effective material properties, various homogenization schemes including the Reuss model, the Voigt model, the Mori-Tanaka model, and the Hashin-Shtrikman bound model are used. The nonlocal elasticity theory together with the oblique coordinate system is applied to the higher-order shear deformation plate theory to develop a size-dependent plate model for the shear buckling analysis of FGM skew nanoplates. The Ritz method using Gram-Schmidt shape functions is used to solve the size-dependent problem. It is found that the significance of the nonlocality in the reduction of the shear buckling load of an FGM skew nanoplate increases for a higher value of the material property gradient index. Also, by increasing the skew angle, the critical shear buckling load of an FGM skew nanoplate enhances. This pattern becomes a bit less significant for a higher value of the material property gradient index. Furthermore, among various homogenization models, the Voigt and Reuss models in order estimate the overestimated and underestimated shear buckling loads, and the difference between them reduces by increasing the aspect ratio of the skew nanoplate.     

Mechanical buckling of a functionally graded cylindrical shell with axial and circumferential stiffeners using the third-order shear deformation theory

This paper deals with an analytical approach of the buckling behavior of a functionally graded circular cylindrical shell under axial pressure with external axial and circumferential stiffeners. The shell properties are assumed to vary continuously through the thickness direction. Fundamental relations and equilibrium and stability equations are derived using the third-order shear deformation theory. The resulting equations are employed to obtain the closed-form solution for the critical buckling loads. A simply supported boundary condition is considered for both edges of the shell. The comparison of the results of this study with those in the literature validates the present analysis. The effects of material composition (volume fraction exponent), of the number of stiffeners and of shell geometry parameters on the characteristics of the critical buckling load are described. The analytical results are compared and validated using the finite-element method. The results show that the inhomogeneity parameter, the geometry of the shell and the number of stiffeners considerably affect the critical buckling loads.     

Buckling analysis of pristine and defected graphene

The buckling behavior of monolayer graphene (pristine and vacancy-defected) and bilayer graphene (pristine) loaded in the armchair direction was simulated for different boundary conditions using a truss FE model, representing the exact atomic lattice of graphene, and a FE model of an equivalent 2D plate. The critical buckling stress of pristine monolayer graphene was derived as a function of aspect ratio. The results from the two FE models coincide and are in very good agreement with established analytical solutions. With increasing the aspect ratio, the critical buckling stress of monolayer graphene decreases until the value of 2 from which the effect starts to diminish. Using the truss FE model, the effect of randomly dispersed vacancies on the critical buckling stress and buckling mode of monolayer graphene was studied. It was found that the critical buckling stress decreases dramatically with increasing the defect density: for a defect density of 10%, the critical buckling stress decreases by almost 50%. Moreover, the presence of defects was found to affect the highest buckling modes (above 3) even at low densities. Bilayer graphene has a totally different critical buckling stress than monolayer graphene due to the effect of van der Waals forces which depends on the applied boundary conditions.
