Stress field of orthotropic cylinder subjected to axial compression

Based on the constancy hypothesis of material volume, the circumferential and radial stresses of a cylinder specimen are analyzed when the cylinder is subject to a loading along the axial direction. The circumferential and radial stress distribution is a power function of radius parameter when the constitutive relation of specimen material is orthotropic. The stress distribution is a quadratic function of radius parameter for transversely isotropic material. Along the cylinder axial line, the circumferential and radial stresses are maximum and equal to each other. In the circumference boundary surface, the radial stress is zero and the circumferential stress value is minimal. The failure theory of maximum tensile circumferential strain is applied to calculate the critical axial loading. The circumference-boundary-layer failure criterion of orthotropic cylinders is described with the Hill-Tsai strength theory. The obtained strength theory is related to axial stress and mechanical properties of specimen material and to the specimen axialdeformation strain rate and the change rate of strain rate.     

Application and analysis of functionally graded piezoelectrical rotating cylinder as mechanical sensor subjected to pressure and thermal loads

The exact thermoelastic analysis of a functionally graded piezoelectrical (FGP) rotating cylinder is investigated analytically. The cylinder is subjected to a combination of electrical, thermal, and mechanical loads simultaneously. The structure is a simplified model of a rotational sensor or actuator. The basic governing differential equation of the system is obtained by using the energy method. A novel term, named as the additional energy, is introduced to exact the evaluation of the energy functional. The solution to the governing differential equation is presented for two types of boundary conditions including free rotating and rotating cylinders exposed to the inner pressure. The effect of the angular velocity is investigated on the radial distribution of various components. The mentioned structure can be considered as a sensor for measuring the angular velocity of the cylinder subjected to the pressure and temperature. The obtained results indicate that the electrical potential is proportional to the angular velocity.     

Response of an infinite beam resting on a tensionless elastic foundation subjected to arbitrarily complex transverse loads

This paper presents an investigation into the static response of an infinite beam supported on a unilateral (tensionless) elastic foundation and subjected to arbitrary complex loading, including self-weight. A new numerical method is developed to determine the initially unknown lengths that remain in contact. Based on the continuity conditions at the junctions of contact and non-contact segments, the response of the whole beam may be expressed through the displacement constants of the initial segment, reducing the contact problem to two nonlinear algebraic equations with two unknowns. The technique has been named the transfer displacement function method (TDFM). Comparison with the exact results of a particular limiting case shows the expected complete agreement. Finally, an example of a beam with several contact segments is presented and verified by the application of equilibrium conditions.     

The curved bar subjected to an arbitrarily distributed loading: Another paradox in the two-dimensional theory of elasticity

The problem of the curved bar subjected to an arbitrarily distributed loading on the surfacesr=a andr=b is solved by using the method of complex functions and expanding the boundary conditions atr=a andr=b into Fourier series. Then another paradox in the two-dimensional theory of elasticity is discovered, i. e., the classical solution becomes infinite when the curved bar is subjected to a uniform loading or when the angle included between the two ends of the curved bar 2 is equal to 2 and the curved bar is subjected to a sine or cosine loading. In this paper the paradox is resolved successfully and the solutions for the paradox are obtained. Moreover, the modified classical solution which remains bounded as 2 approaches 2 is provided.

Differential-algebraic approach to large deformation analysis of frame structures subjected to dynamic loads

A nonlinear mathematical model for the analysis of large deformation of frame structures with discontinuity conditions and initial displacements, subject to dynamic loads is formulated with arc-coordinates. The differential quadrature element method （DQEM） is then applied to discretize the nonlinear mathematical model in the spatial domain, An effective method is presented to deal with discontinuity conditions of multivariables in the application of DQEM. A set of DQEM discretization equations are obtained, which are a set of nonlinear differential-algebraic equations with singularity in the time domain. This paper also presents a method to solve nonlinear differential-algebra equations. As application, static and dynamical analyses of large deformation of frames and combined frame structures, subjected to concentrated and distributed forces, are presented. The obtained results are compared with those in the literatures. Numerical results show that the proposed method is general, and effective in dealing with disconti- nuity conditions of multi-variables and solving differential-algebraic equations. It requires only a small number of nodes and has low computation complexity with high precision and a good convergence property.

Nonlinear dynamic instability analysis of laminated composite thin plates subjected to periodic in-plane loads

In this paper, the dynamic instability of thin laminated composite plates subjected to harmonic in-plane loading is studied based on nonlinear analysis. The equations of motion of the plate are developed using von Karman-type of plate equation including geometric nonlinearity. The nonlinear large deflection plate equations of motion are solved by using Galerkin’s technique that leads to a system of nonlinear Mathieu-Hill equations. Dynamically unstable regions, and both stable- and unstable-solution amplitudes of the steady-state vibrations are obtained by applying the Bolotin’s method. The nonlinear dynamic stability characteristics of both antisymmetric and symmetric cross-ply laminates with different lamination schemes are examined. A detailed parametric study is conducted to examine and compare the effects of the orthotropy, magnitude of both tensile and compressive longitudinal loads, aspect ratios of the plate including length-to-width and length-to-thickness ratios, and in-plane transverse wave number on the parametric resonance particularly the steady-state vibrations amplitude. The present results show good agreement with that available in the literature.

And the effects of the size of the piezoelectric cylinder and the elastic material properties on various field intensity factors are obtained.
