Application of perturbation idea to well-known Hencky problem: A perturbation solution without small-rotation-angle assumption

In existing studies, the well-known Hencky problem, i.e. the large deflection problem of axisymmetric deformation of a circular membrane subjected to uniformly distributed loads, has been analyzed generally on small-rotation-angle assumption and solved by using the common power series method. In fact, the problem studied and the method adopted may be effectively expanded to meet the needs of larger deformation. In this study, the classical Hencky problem was extended to the problem without small-rotation-angle assumption and resolved by using the perturbation idea combining with power series method. First, the governing differential equations used for the solution of stress and deflection in the perturbed system were established. Taking the load as a perturbation parameter, the stress and deflection were expanded with respect to the parameter. By substituting the expansions into the governing equations and corresponding boundary conditions, the perturbation solution of all levels were obtained, in which the zero-order perturbation solution exactly corresponds to the small-rotation-angle solution, i.e. the solution of the unperturbed system. The results indicate that if the perturbed and unperturbed systems as well as the corresponding differential equations may be distinguished, the perturbation method proposed in this study can be extended to solve other nonlinear differential equations, as long as the differential equation of unperturbed system may be obtained by letting a certain parameter be zero in the corresponding equation of perturbed system.     

Large deflection of circular plate under compound load

By means of the perturbation method, this paper presents an approximate solution for large deflection of clamped circular plate under uniform pressure together with a concentrated load at the center. The special case of vanishing central deflection is also discussed. In this paper, a load distribution function is introduced so as to make the compound loads depend on a single load parameter, and average angular deflection is used as the single displacement perturbation parameter.

Finite Deflection of Skew Sandwich Plates on Elastic Foundations by the Galerkin Method

ABSTRACT

Application of the Galerkin method to various fluid and structural mechanics problems that are governed by a single linear or nonlinear differential equation is well known [1-5]. Recently, the method has been extended to finite element formulations [6-10], In this paper the suitability of the Galerkin method for solution of large deflection problems of plates is studied. The method is first applied to investigate large deflection behavior of clamped isotropic plates on elastic foundations. After validity of the method is established, it is then extended to analyze problems of large deflection of clamped skew sandwich plates, both with and without elastic foundations. The plates are considered to be subjected to uniformly distributed loads. The governing differential equations for the sandwich plate in terms of displacements in Cartesian coordinates are first established and then transformed into skew coordinates. The nonlinear differential equations of the plates are then transformed into nonlinear algebraic equations, using the Galerkin method. These equations are solved using a Newton-Raphson iterative procedure. The parameters considered herein for large deflection behavior of skew sandwich plates are the aspect ratio of the plate, Poisson's ratio, skew angle, shearing stiffnesses of the core, and foundation moduli. Numerical results are presented for skew sandwich plates for various skew angles and aspect ratios. Simplicity and quick convergence are the advantages of the method, in comparison with other much more laborious numerical methods that require extensive computer facilities.

Determination of the perturbation parameter in large deflection of plates and shallow shells by means of the least square method

In this paper, the least square method of determination of the perturbation parameter is presented when the perturbation technique is used in the solution of large deflection of axisymmetrical plates and shallow shells. The examples of circular plates are calculated and compared with the exact solution and other perturbation solutions. The results show the best agreement with the exact solution among those perturbation solutions.     

A Modified Perturbation Technique Depending Upon an Artificial Parameter

In this paper, a modified perturbation method is proposed to search for analytical solutions of nonlinear oscillators without possible small parameters. An artificial perturbation equation is carefully constructed by embedding an artificial parameter, which is used as expanding parameter. It reveals that various traditional perturbation techniques can be powerfully applied in this theory. Some examples, such as the Duffing equation and the van der Pol equation, are given here to illustrate its effectiveness and convenience. The results show that the obtained approximate solutions are uniformly valid on the whole solution domain, and they are suitable not only for weak nonlinear systems, but also for strongly nonlinear systems. In applying the new method, some special techniques have been emphasized for different problems.     

A large deformation analysis for nonlinear elastic problems by hypoelastic theory

In this paper, large deformation problems for nonlinear elasticity are studied on the basis of hypoelastic theory. The expression of Cauchy elasticity is derived in the form of hypoclasticity. This makes it possible to solve large deformation for nonlinear elastic problems by the hypoelastic method. The variational principle of hypoclasticity and the Ritz method are used to obtain the numerical solution of a rectangular rubber membrane under uniaxial stretch.

ON SOLVING HIGH-ORDER SOLUTIONS OF CHIEN’S PERTURBATION METHOD TO STUDY CONVERGENCE BY COMPUTER

In this paper, we have obtained the analytical formula of arbitrary n-th order perturbation solution which perturbation parameter is central deflection for circular thin plate under a concentrated load by means of its integral equation. All unkown constants of every perturbation solution can be determined by computer. Hence higher order perturbation solution is obtained. Based on the solution of higher order perturbation, asymptotical property and suitable interval of Chien’s perturbation method are also discussed.     

Nonlinear stability of double-deck reticulated circular shallow spherical shell

Based on the variational equation of the nonlinear bending theory of doubledeck reticulated shallow shells, equations of large deflection and boundary conditions for a double-deck reticulated circular shallow spherical shell under a uniformly distributed pressure are derived by using coordinate transformation means and the principle of stationary complementary energy. The characteristic relationship and critical buckling pressure for the shell with two types of boundary conditions are obtained by taking the modified iteration method. Effects of geometrical parameters on the buckling behavior are also discussed.     

The solution of rectangular plates with large deflection by spline functions

In this paper, Von Karman ’s set of nonlinear equations for rectangular plates with large deflection is divided into several sets of linear equations by perturbation method, the dimensionless center deflection being taken as a perturbation parameter. These sets of linear equations are solved by the spline finite-point (SFP) method and by the spline finite element (SFE) method. The solutions for rectangular plates having any length-to-width ratios under a uniformly distributed load and with various boundary conditions are presented, and the analytical formulas for displacements and deflections are given in the paper. The computer programs are worked out by ourselves. Comparison of the results with those in other papers indicates that the results of this paper are satisfactorily better.

The singular perturbation method applied to the nonlinear stability problem of a shallow spherical shell (II)

In this paper we consider the nonlinear stability of a thin elastic circular shallow spherical shell under the action of uniform normal pressure with a clamped edge. When the geometrical parameter k is large, the uniformly valid asymptotic solutions are obtained by means of the singular perturbation method. In addition, we give the analytic formula for determining the centre deflection and the critical load, and the stability curve is also derived. This paper is a continuation of the author’s previous paper[11].
