Equilibrium of a Prestressed Strip Reinforced with Elastic Plates

The contact problem for a prestressed elastic strip reinforced with equally spaced elastic plates is considered. The Fourier integral transform is used to construct an influence function of a unit concentrated force acting on the infinite elastic strip with one edge constrained. The transmission of forces from the thin elastic plates to the prestressed strip is analyzed. On the assumption that the beam bending model and the uniaxial stress model are valid for an elastic plate subjected to both vertical and horizontal forces, the problem is mathematically formulated as a system of integro-differential equations for unknown contact stresses. This system is reduced to an infinite system of algebraic equations solved by the reduction method. The effect of the initial stresses on the distribution of contact forces in the strip under tension and compression is studied

Interaction of a rigid punch and a circular plate with a fixed side and a stress-free face

The axisymmetric contact problem of a rigid punch indentation into an elastic circular plate with a fixed side and a stress-free face is considered. The problem is solved by a method developed for finite bodies which is based on the properties of a biorthogonal system of vector functions. The problem is reduced to a Volterra integral equation (IE) of the first kind for the contract pressure function and to a system of two Volterra IE of the first kind for functions describing the derivative of the displacement of the plate upper surface outside the punch and the normal (or tangential) stress on the plate lower fixed surface. The last two functions are sought as the sum of a trigonometric series and a power-law function with a root singularity. The obtained ill-conditioned systems of linear algebraic equations are regularized by introducing small parameters and have a stable solution. A method for solving the Volterra IE is given. The contact pressure functions, the normal and tangential stresses on the plate fixed surface, and the dimensionless indentation force are found. Several examples of a plane punch computation are given.     

On the dynamic bending of layered plates

The dynamic bending of layered metallic plates is studied. Their layers are reinforced with wires, and there are interfacial layers between the contact surfaces. A general approach to solving the corresponding dynamic problems is proposed. It is the principle of virtual work. A system of ordinary differential constitutive equations is obtained and used to determine the amplitude coefficients of the series of coordinate functions that approximates the deflections. The constitutive equations are reduced to Volterra equations of the second kind. Algorithms are developed to calculate the coefficients of the constitutive equations depending on the coordinate functions and on the reinforcement pattern. Possible methods to set up coordinate functions and solve integral equations are indicated     

Stress Analysis of Laminated Shells of Revolution with an Imperfect Interlayer Contact

An approach is proposed to solve problems on the contact interaction of layers in structurally inhomogeneous shells of revolution with allowance for both the normal and tangential stresses in the contact zones. A system of algebraic equations is constructed by using a method for solution of static problems for arbitrary shells of revolution. From this system, the contact zones and contact stresses are determined by the iteration method. The restricted behavior of the adhesion layer in cleavage and shear is taken into account. As an example, the stress state of a two-layer cylindrical shell under a concentrated load is determined     

Modified equations of finite-size layered plates made of orthotropic material. Comparison of the results of numerical calculations with analytical solutions

This paper describes the modified bending equations of layered orthotropic plates in the first approximation. The approximation of the solution of the equation of the three-dimensional theory of elasticity by the Legendre polynomial segments is used to obtain differential equations of the elastic layer. For the approximation of equilibrium equations and boundary conditions of three-dimensional theory of elasticity, several approximations of each desired function (stresses and displacements) are used. The stresses at the internal points of the plate are determined from the defining equations for the orthotropic material, averaged with respect to the plate thickness. The construction of the bending equations of layered plates for each layer is carried out with the help of the elastic layer equations and the conjugation conditions on the boundaries between layers, which are conditions for the continuity of normal stresses and displacements. The numerical solution of the problem of bending of the rectangular layered plate obtained with the help of modified equations is compared with an analytical solution. It is determined that the maximum error in determining the stresses does not exceed 3 %.     

Refined theory of orthotropic plates subject to tangential surface loads

The existence of two correction coefficients traditionally introduced to account for the effect of the distribution of tangential stresses over the thickness of a plate is discussed. The virtual-work principle is used to generalize the expressions for the coefficients to the case of arbitrary loading. These expressions and hypotheses for displacements help to derive equations for orthotropic rectangular plates subject to tangential surface loads. These equations account for the effect of the distribution of tangential stresses over the thickness of the plate. Numerical examples are given. The results obtained are compared with those produced by other theories __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 44, No. 4, pp. 107–119, April 2008.     

Bending of a packet of transversely isotropic circular plates

A mechanical-mathematical model of the bending of transversely isotropic plates is developed on the basis of the model constructed by é. I. Grigolyuk and V. M. Tolkachev. The original model is generalized with allowance for anisotropy. The new model is used to solve the problem of the axisymmetric bending of a packet of circular plates. The existence of regions of adhesion, slip, and separation is taken into account. The problem of determining the contact stresses in the model is reduced to the integration of a system of differential equations.

On indentation of a pair of rigid punches connected by an elastic beam into an elastic half-plane with regard to the friction and adhesion forces in the contact region

The contact problem of indentation of a pair of rigid punches with plane bases connected by an elastic beam into the boundary of an elastic half-plane is considered under the conditions of plane strain state. The external load is generated by lumped forces applied to the punches and a uniformly distributed normal load acting on the beam.It is assumed that the contact between the punch and the elastic half-plane can be described by L. A. Galin’s statement, i.e., it is assumed that the adhesion acts in the interior part of each of the contact regions and the tangential stresses obeying the Coulomb law act on their boundaries.With the symmetry taken into account, the problem is stated only for a single punch, and solving this problem is reduced to a system of four singular integral equations for the tangential and normal stresses in the adhesion region and the contact pressure in the sliding zones. The solution of the constitutive system together with three conditions of equilibrium of the system of punches connected by a beam is constructed by direct numerical integration by the method of mechanical quadratures.As a result of the numerical analysis, the contact stress distribution functions were constructed and the values of the sliding zones and the punch rotation angle were determined for various values of the geometric, elastic, and force characteristics.

Numerical results for the contact stresses and the contact lengths are given by depending on various fibre orientations.     

Solving three-dimensional static problems for orthotropic plates with sliding edge conditions

Homogeneous solutions of the elastic equilibrium equations for orthotropic plates are obtained. The normal displacement and tangential stresses on the flat edges of the plates are zero. Methods to integrate the governing equations are proposed. An explicit analytic solution for the stress state of a layer with circular or elliptic cavities under a load constant throughout the thickness is obtained Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 44, No. 8, pp. 114–125, August 2008.     

Equations of cylindrical bending of orthotropic plates with arbitrary conditions on their front surfaces

Based on approximations of solutions of elasticity theory equations by Legendre polynomial segments, differential equations for bending of orthotropic plates are constructed. In contrast to equations constructed with the use of kinematic and force hypotheses, the order of these differential equations is independent of the type of conditions on front surfaces. The matrices of the constructed equations depend on the type of boundary conditions. An analytical solution is given for the system of equations in the case with normal and shear stresses being specified on the upper and lower front surfaces.     

A comprehensive analysis of functionally graded sandwich plates: Part 1—Deflection and stresses

A two-dimensional solution is presented for bending analysis of simply supported functionally graded ceramic–metal sandwich plates. The sandwich plate faces are assumed to have isotropic, two-constituent material distribution through the thickness, and the modulus of elasticity and Poisson’s ratio of the faces are assumed to vary according to a power-law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. The core layer is still homogeneous and made of an isotropic ceramic material. Several kinds of sandwich plates are used taking into account the symmetry of the plate and the thickness of each layer. We derive field equations for functionally graded sandwich plates whose deformations are governed by either the shear deformation theories or the classical theory. Displacement functions that identically satisfy boundary conditions are used to reduce the governing equations to a set of coupled ordinary differential equations with variable coefficients. Numerical results of the sinusoidal, third-order, first-order and classical theories are presented to show the effect of material distribution on the deflections and stresses.

A new simple third-order shear deformation theory of plates

An improved simple third-order shear deformation theory for the analysis of shear flexible plates is presented in this paper. This new plate theory is composed of three parts: the simple third-order kinematics of displacements reduced from the higher-order displacement field derived previously by the author; a system of 10th-order differential equilibrium equations in terms of the three generalized displacements of bending plates; five boundary conditions at each edge of plate boundaries. Although the resulting displacement field is the same as that proposed by Murthy, the variational consistent governing equations and the associated proper boundary conditions are derived and identified in this work for the first time in the literature. The applications and accuracy of the present shear deformation theory of plates are demonstrated by analytically solving the differential governing equations of a twisting plate, a bending beam and two bending plates to which the 3-D elasticity solutions are available, and excellent agreements are achieved even for the torsion of a plate with square cross-section as well the local effects of stresses at plate boundaries can be characterized accurately. These analytical solutions clearly show that the simple third-order shear deformation theory developed in this work indeed gives better results than the first-order shear deformation theories and other simple higher-order shear deformation theories, since the present third-order shear flexible theory is based on a more rigorous kinematics of displacements and consists of not only a system of variational consistent differential equations, but also a group of consistent boundary conditions associated with the differential equations. The present simple third-order shear deformation theory can easily be applied to the static and dynamic finite element analysis of laminated plates just like the applications of other popular shear flexible plate theories, and improved results could be obtained from the present simple third-order shear deformable theories of plates.     

A Prestressed Elastic Strip with Elastic Reinforcements

A contact problem is studied for a prestressed elastic strip with an elastic reinforcement. The integral Fourier transform is used to construct an influence function for an infinite strip with one face fixed. A unit concentrated force is applied to the strip at an arbitrary angle. The contact problem on force transfer from a thin infinite stringer to the prestressed strip is solved. The problem is mathematically formulated as a system of integro-differential equations for the unknown contact stresses on the assumption that the beam bending model and the uniaxial stress model are valid for the stringer, which is subjected to both vertical and horizontal forces. This system is solved in a closed form using the integral Fourier transform. The contact stresses are expressed in terms of Fourier integrals in a quite simple form. The influence of the initial stresses on the contact stress distribution is analyzed, and effects of concentrated load are revealed     

Dynamic buckling of stiffened plates under fluid-solid impact load

A simple solution of the dynamic buckling of stiffened plates under fluid-solid impact loading is presented. Based on large deflection theory, a discretely stiffened plate model has been used. The tangential stresses of stiffeners and in-plane displacement are neglected. Applying the Hamilton‘ s principle, the motion equations of stiffened plates are obtained. The deflection of the plate is taken as Fourier series, and using Galerkin method, the discrete equations can be deduced, which can be solved easily by Runge-Kutta method. The dynamic buckling loads of the stiffened plates are obtained from Budiansky-Roth ( B-R ) curves.
