A refined theory of elastic thick plates for extensional deformation

Based on elasticity theory, various two-dimensional (2D) equations and solutions for extensional deformation have been deduced systematically and directly from the three-dimensional (3D) theory of thick rectangular plates by using the Papkovich–Neuber solution and the Lur’e method without ad hoc assumptions. These equations and solutions can be used to construct a refined theory of thick plates for extensional deformation. It is shown that the displacements and stresses of the plate can be represented by the displacements and transverse normal strain of the midplane. In the case of homogeneous boundary conditions, the exact solutions for the plate are derived, and the exact equations consist of three governing differential equations: the biharmonic equation, the shear equation, and the transcendental equation. With the present theory a solution of these can satisfy all the fundamental equations of 3D elasticity. Moreover, the refined theory of thick plate for bending deformation constructed by Cheng is improved, and some physical or mathematical explanations and proof are provided to support our justification. It is important to note that the refined theory is consistent with the decomposition theorem by Gregory. In the case of nonhomogeneous boundary conditions, the approximate governing differential equations and solutions for the plate are accurate up to the second-order terms with respect to plate thickness. The correctness of the stress assumptions in the classic plane-stress problems is revised. In an example it is shown that the exact or accurate solutions may be obtained by applying the refined theory deduced herein.     

Eigenfunction expansion method and its application to two-dimensional elasticity problems based on stress formulation

This paper proposes an eigenfunction expansion method to solve twodimensional （2D） elasticity problems based on stress formulation. By introducing appropriate state functions, the fundamental system of partial differential equations of the above 2D problems is rewritten as an upper triangular differential system. For the associated operator matrix, the existence and the completeness of two normed orthogonal eigenfunction systems in some space are obtained, which belong to the two block operators arising in the operator matrix. Moreover, the general solution to the above 2D problem is given by the eigenfunction expansion method.

FREE VIBRATION OF ANISOTROPIC RECTANGULAR PLATES BY GENERAL ANALYTICAL METHOD

According to the differential equation for transverse displacement function of anisotropic rectangular thin plates in free vibration, a general analytical solution is established. This general solution, composed of the composite solutions of trigonometric function and hyperbolic function, can satisfy the problem of arbitrary boundary conditions along four edges. The algebraic polynomial with double sine series solutions can also satisfy the problem of boundary conditions at four corners. Consequently, this general solution can be used to solve the vibration problem of anisotropic rectangular plates with arbitrary boundaries accurately. The integral constants can be determined by boundary conditions of four edges and four corners. Each natural frequency and vibration mode can be solved by the determinate of coefficient matrix from the homogeneous linear algebraic equations equal to zero. For example, a composite symmetric angle ply laminated plate with four edges clamped has been calculated and discussed.     

A Theory of General Solutions of Plane Problems in Two-Dimensional Octagonal Quasicrystals

A theory of general solutions of plane problems is developed for the coupled equations in plane elasticity of two-dimensional octagonal quasicrystals. In virtue of the operator method, the general solutions of the antiplane and inplane problems are given constructively with two displacement functions. The introduced displacement functions have to satisfy higher order partial differential equations, and therefore it is difficult to obtain rigorous analytic solutions directly and is not applicable in most cases. In this case, a decomposition and superposition procedure is employed to replace the higher order displacement functions with some lower order displacement functions, and accordingly the general solutions are further simplified in terms of these functions. In consideration of different cases of characteristic roots, the general solution of the antiplane problem involves two cases, and the general solution of the inplane problem takes three cases, but all are in simple forms that are convenient to be applied. Furthermore, it is noted that the general solutions obtained here are complete in x ₃-convex domains.      

A new meshless method for steady-state heat conduction problems in anisotropic and inhomogeneous media

Summary A new meshless method is developed to analyze steady-state heat conduction problems with arbitrarily spatially varying thermal conductivity in isotropic and anisotropic materials. The analog equation is used to construct equivalent equations to the original differential equation so that a simpler fundamental solution of the Laplacian operator can be employed to take the place of the fundamental solutions related to the original governing equation. Next, the particular solution is approximated by using radial basis functions, and the corresponding homogeneous solution is solved by means of the virtual boundary collocation method. As a result, a new method fully independent of mesh is developed. Finally, several numerical examples are implemented to demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method. The numerical results show good agreement with the actual results.This work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (No. 10472082) and Australian Research Council.     

Diagonalization of a three-dimensional system of equations in terms of displacements of the linear theory of elasticity of transversely isotropic media

A dynamic three-dimensional system of linear equations in terms of displacements of the theory of elasticity of transversely isotropic media is given explicit expressions for phase velocities and polarization vectors of plane waves. All the longitudinal normals are found. For some values of the elasticity moduli, the system of equations is reduced to a diagonal shape. For static equations, all the conditions of the system ellipticity are determined. Two new representations of displacements through potential functions that satisfy three independent quasi-harmonic equations are given. Constraints on elasticity moludi, at which the corresponding coefficients in these representations are real, different, equal, or complex, are determined. It is shown that these representations are general and complete. Each representation corresponds to a recursion (symmetry) operator, i.e., a formula of production of new solutions.

Deformations and stresses in annular disks made of functionally graded materials subjected to internal and/or external pressure

In this paper, an analytical solution is developed to determine deformations and stresses in circular disks made of functionally graded materials subjected to internal and/or external pressure. Taking mechanical properties of the materials of circular disks to be linear variations, the governing equation is derived from basic equations of axisymmetric, plane stress problems in elasticity. By transforming the governing equation into a hypergeometric equation, an accurate analytical solution of deformations and stresses in circular disks is obtained. The comparison with the numerical solution indicates that both approaches give very agreeable results, indicating correctness of the proposed analytical solution. The obtained analytical solution is employed to determine the radial displacement and stresses in circular disks subjected to external pressure, internal pressure, and internal and external pressure, respectively. How the radius ratio of circular disks affects deformations and stresses is also investigated.
