Secondary Buckling Analysis of Thin Rectangular Plates Based on the Wavelet Galerkin Method北大核心CSCD

Application of the wavelet Galerkin method (WGM) to numerical solution of nonlinear buckling problems was studied with classical elastic thin rectangular plates. First, the discretized scheme of the von Kármán equation were introduced, then a simple calculation approach to the Jacobian and Hessian matrices based on the WGM was proposed, and the wavelet discretized scheme-based eigenvalue equation method, the extended equation method and the pseudo arc-length method for nonlinear buckling analysis were discussed. Second, the secondary post-buckling equilibrium paths of elastic thin rectangular plates and the effects of aspect ratios, boundary conditions and bi-directional compression on the mode jumping behaviors, were discussed in detail. Numerical results show that, the WGM possesses good convergence for solving buckling loads on rectangular plates, and the obtained equilibrium paths are in good agreement with those from the stability experiments, the 2-step perturbation method and the nonlinear finite element method. Given the feasibility of combination with different bifurcation computation methods, the WGM makes an efficient spatial discretization method for complex nonlinear stability problems of typical plates and shells. © 2023 Editorial Office of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics.

Post-buckling and nonlinear free vibration analysis of geometrically imperfect functionally graded beams resting on nonlinear elastic foundation

In this paper, post-buckling and nonlinear vibration analysis of geometrically imperfect beams made of functionally graded materials (FGMs) resting on nonlinear elastic foundation subjected to axial force are studied. The material properties of FGMs are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction according to a simple power law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. The assumptions of a small strain and moderate deformation are used. Based on Euler–Bernoulli beam theory and von-Karman geometric nonlinearity, the integral partial differential equation of motion is derived. Then this partial differential equation (PDE) problem, which has quadratic and cubic nonlinearities, is simplified into an ordinary differential equation (ODE) problem by using the Galerkin method. Finally, the governing equation is solved analytically using the variational iteration method (VIM). Some new results for the nonlinear natural frequencies and buckling load of the imperfect functionally graded (FG) beams such as the effects of vibration amplitude, elastic coefficients of foundation, axial force, end supports and material inhomogeneity are presented for future references. Results show that the imperfection has a significant effect on the post-buckling and vibration response of FG beams.

The non-axisymmetric postbuckling behaviour of shallow spherical domes

The non-axisymmetric postbuckling behaviour of an elastic, shallow spherical dome, which is rigidly clamped along its contour and loaded with a uniform transverse pressure, is considered. The solution of the problem is constructed using the Rayleigh-Ritz method based on the Marguerre equations in which the displacements in the circumferential direction are approximated by a Fourier series, and the radial displacements by Bessel functions. The resulting system of non-linear algebraic equations is solved by prolongation methods. It is shown for the first time that a shell has postbuckling, non-axisymmetric equilibrium states with loads which are significantly less than the upper critical load as well as the loads corresponding to bifurcation points. It is suggested that, taking into account the forms of these equilibrium states as the initial inaccuracies of a spherical dome should enable one to model the spread in its experimentally obtained critical loads.     

Thermal buckling and post-buckling analysis of geometrically imperfect FGM clamped tubes on nonlinear elastic foundation

Present research deals with the thermal buckling and post-buckling analysis of the geometrically imperfect functionally graded tubes on nonlinear elastic foundation. Imperfect FGM tube with immovable clamped–clamped end conditions is subjected to thermal environments. Tube under different types of thermal loads, such as heat conduction, linear temperature change, and uniform temperature rise is analyzed. Material properties of the FGM tube are assumed to be temperature dependent and are distributed through the radial direction. Displacement field satisfies the tangential traction free boundary conditions on the inner and outer surfaces of the FGM tube. The nonlinear governing equations of the FGM tube are obtained by means of the virtual displacement principle. The equilibrium equations are based on the nonlinear von Kármán assumption and higher order shear deformation circular tube theory. These coupled differential equations are solved using the two-step perturbation method. Approximate solutions are provided to estimate the thermal post-buckling response of the perfect/imperfect FGM tube as explicit functions of the various thermal loads. Numerical results are provided to explore the effects of different geometrical parameters of the FGM tube subjected to different types of thermal loads. The effects of power law index, springs stiffness of elastic foundation, and geometrical imperfection parameter of tube are also included.     

On the folding of plates which buckle before and beyond the elastic limit

Simply supported rectangular elasto-plastic plates which are uniformly compressed buckle either before or beyond the elastic limit. Consequently, the post critical behaviour, the position of first membrane yield and folding mode differ significantly whether buckling happens before or beyond the elastic limit. A distinct folding-line perpendicular to the loading direction develops only for plates which buckle beyond the elastic limit. This article analysis the post-buckling behaviour and the folding mode of uniformly compressed plates and points out the correlation to the folding mode of axially crushed profiles.

Thermal buckling and post-buckling analysis of functionally graded beams based on a general higher-order shear deformation theory

In the present work, attention is focused on the prediction of thermal buckling and post-buckling behaviors of functionally graded materials (FGM) beams based on Euler–Bernoulli, Timoshenko and various higher-order shear deformation beam theories. Two ends of the beam are assumed to be clamped and in-plane boundary conditions are immovable. The beam is subjected to uniform temperature rise and temperature dependency of the constituents is also taken into account. The governing equations are developed relative to neutral plane and mid-plane of the beam. A two-step perturbation method is employed to determine the critical buckling loads and post-buckling equilibrium paths. New results of thermal buckling and post-buckling analysis of the beams are presented and discussed in details, the numerical analysis shows that, for the case of uniform temperature rise loading, the post-buckling equilibrium path for FGM beam with two clamped ends is also of the bifurcation type for any arbitrary value of the power law index and any various displacement fields.     

Elastoplastic torsion of a cylindrical rod for finite deformations

A solution of the problem of the torsion of a cylindrical rod was obtained in /1/ for a general, isotropic, incompressible elastic material. The present paper gives an analytical solution of the elastoplastic torsion problem for finite deformations, written in terms of quadratures of elliptic functions. The non-linear kinematics of elastoplastic deformation is introduced into the defining equations with the help of a multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient into elastic and plastic components /2, 3/. The elastic deformation and rate of plastic deformation are related to the state of stress of the body, in accordance with the defining Mooney-Rivlin equations /4/ and the law of flow for finite deformations associated with the Tresca yield condition /5/. A non-linear first-order partial differential equation and the initial data at the elastoplastic boundary are obtained in order to determine the angle of rotation within the plastic zone of the basis formed from the eigenvectors of the stress tensor, relative to the radial direction. The integration of the resulting equation is reduced to determining the general integral of the Ricatti equation with right-hand side determined from the angular velocity of flow of the material within the plastic zone. It is shown that neglecting the finiteness of the deformation leads to too high an estimate of the rigidity of the rod.     

Imperfection sensitivity of thermal post-buckling behaviour of functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced composite beams

This paper investigates the imperfection sensitivity of thermal post-buckling behaviour of functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced composite (FG-CNTRC) beams subjected to in-plane temperature variation. The material properties of FG-CNTRCs are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction and temperature-dependent. A generic imperfection function is used to model various possible imperfections, including sine type, global and localized imperfections. The governing equations are derived based on the first-order shear deformation beam theory and von-Kármán geometric nonlinearity. The differential quadrature method in conjunction with modified Newton–Raphson technique is employed to determine the thermal post-buckling equilibrium path of imperfect FG-CNTRC beams. Thermal buckling is treated as a subset problem. A parametric study is conducted to examine the effects of imperfection mode, half-wave number, location and amplitude on their thermal post-buckling performance. The influences of distribution pattern and volume fraction of carbon nanotubes, boundary conditions and slenderness ratio are discussed as well. The results indicate that the thermal post-buckling is highly sensitive to the imperfection mode, half-wave number, location as well as its amplitude. It is also shown that the clamped-clamped FG-CNTRC beam is more sensitive to imperfections than those with other boundary conditions whereas other parameters do not substantially affect the imperfection sensitivity of thermal post-buckling behaviour.

Magnetically-Induced Buckling of a Whirling Conducting Rod with Applications to Electrodynamic Space Tethers

We study the effect of a magnetic field on the behaviour of a slender conducting elastic structure, motivated by stability problems of electrodynamic space tethers. Both static (buckling) and dynamic (whirling) instability are considered and we also compute post-buckling configurations. The equations used are the geometrically exact Kirchhoff equations. Magnetic buckling of a welded rod is found to be described by a surprisingly degenerate bifurcation, which is unfolded when both transverse anisotropy of the rod and angular velocity are considered. By solving the linearised equations about the (quasi-) stationary solutions, we find various secondary instabilities. Our results are relevant for current designs of electrodynamic space tethers and potentially for future applications in nano- and molecular wires.

Mechanical stability of functionally graded stiffened cylindrical shells

This paper is concerned with the elastic buckling of stiffened cylindrical shells by rings and stringers made of functionally graded materials subjected to axial compression loading. The shell properties are assumed to vary continuously through the thickness direction. Fundamental relations, the equilibrium and stability equations are derived using the Sander’s assumption. Resulting equations are employed to obtain the closed-form solution for the critical buckling loads. The results show that the inhomogeneity parameter and geometry of shell significantly affect the critical buckling loads. The analytical results are compared and validated using the finite element method.     

The possibility of a theoretical confirmation of the experimental values of the external critical pressure of thin-walled cylindrical shells

The problem of the buckling of elastic, isotropic, thin-walled cylindrical shells with small initial shape defects that are under the action of an external pressure is solved in a geometrically non-linear formulation. Equations that are identical to Marguerre's equations for a shallow cylindrical shell are used in formulating the problem. The solution is constructed by the Rayleigh–Ritz method with the points of the middle surface of the shell approximated by double functional sums over trigonometric and beam functions. The system of non-linear equations obtained is solved by arc-length methods. Cases of the clamped and supported shells when loading with a lateral and uniform hydrostatic pressure are considered. Its deflections from the limit points of the postbuckling branches of its loading trajectory are used as the initial imperfections. An inspection of the different forms of the initial imperfections when they have maximum values of up to 30% of the shell thickness made it possible to obtain practically the whole range of experimentally found critical pressures.     

Static analysis of composite beams with weak shear connection

The objective of the present paper is to analyse the static behaviour of elastic two-layer beams with interlayer slip. The Euler–Bernoulli hypothesis is assumed to hold for each layer separately, and a linear constitutive equation between the horizontal slip and the interlaminar shear force is considered. The applied loads act in the plane of symmetry of the composite beam, and the material and geometrical properties do not depend on the axial coordinate. Closed-form solutions for displacements and interlayer slips are developed. A second order differential equation is derived for the interlayer slip whose solution is used to determine the deflections and slopes. Examples illustrate the application of the method presented.     

Analytical analysis of buckling and post-buckling of fluid conveying multi-walled carbon nanotubes

In this work, buckling and post-buckling analysis of fluid conveying multi-walled carbon nanotubes are investigated analytically. The nonlinear governing equations of motion and boundary conditions are derived based on Eringen nonlocal elasticity theory. The nanotube is modeled based on Euler–Bernoulli and Timoshenko beam theories. The Von Karman strain–displacement equation is used to model the structural nonlinearities. Furthermore, the Van der Waals interaction between adjacent layers is taken into account. An analytical approach is employed to determine the critical (buckling) fluid flow velocities and post-buckling deflection. The effects of the small-scale parameter, Van der Waals force, ends support, shear deformation and aspect ratio are carefully examined on the critical fluid velocities and post-buckling behavior.

Buckling and postcritical behaviour of the elastic infinite plate strip resting on linear elastic foundation

In this paper the von Kármán model for thin, elastic, infinite plate strip resting on a linear elastic foundation of Winkler type is studied. The infinite plate strip is simply-supported and subjected to evenly distributed compressive loads. The critical values of bifurcation parameters and buckling modes for given frequency of longitudinal waves are found on the basis of investigation of linearized problem. The mathematical nonlinear model is reduced to operator equation with Fredholm type operator of index 0 depending on parameters defined in corresponding Hölder spaces. The Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction and the Crandall-Rabinowitz bifurcation theorem (gradient case) are used to examine the postcritical behaviour of the plate. It is proved that there exists maximal frequency of longitudinal waves depending on the compressive load and the stiffness modulus of foundation.
