Modified von Kármán equations for elastic nanoplates with surface tension and surface elasticity

In this paper, modified von Kármán equations are derived for Kirchhoff nanoplates with surface tension and surface tension-induced residual stresses. The simplified Gurtin-Murdoch model which does not contain non-strain displacement gradients in surface stress-strain relations is adopted, so that the von Kármán strain-compatibility equation can be expressed in terms of the stress function and deflection. The modified von Kármán equations derived here are different than the existing related models especially for elastic plates with in-plane movable edges. Unlike the existing models which predict a surface tension-induced tensile pre-stress for an elastic plate with in-plane movable edges, the present model predicts that this tensile pre-stress is actually cancelled by the surface tension-induced residual compressive stress. Our this result is consistent with recent clarification on similar issue for cantilever beams with surface tension, which implies that the existing models have incorrectly predicted an invalid tensile pre-stress for an elastic plate with in-plane movable edges which leads to significant overestimation of postbuckling load and free vibration frequencies. In addition, our numerical examples indicated that surface stresses can moderately increase or decrease postbuckling load and free vibration frequency of Kirchhoff nanoplate with all in-plane movable edges, depending on the surface elasticity parameters and the geometrical dimensions of nanoplates.

ANALYSIS OF SYMMETRIC LAMINATED RECTANGULAR PLATES IN PLANE STRESS

Symmetric laminated plates used usually are anisotropic plates. Based on the fundamental equation for anisotropic rectangular plates in plane stress problem, a general analytical solution is established accurately by method of stress function. Therefore the general formula of stress and displacement in plane is given. The integral constants in general formula can be determined by boundary conditions. This general solution is composed of solutions made by trigonometric function and hyperbolic function, which can satisfy the problem of arbitrary boundary conditions along four edges, and the algebraic polynomial solutions which can satisfy the problem of boundary conditions at four corners. Consequently this general solution can be used to solve the plane stress problem with arbitrary boundary conditions. For example, a symmetric laminated square plate acted with uniform normal load, tangential load and nonuniform normal load on four edges is calculated and analyzed.     

Buckling of a flush-mounted plate in simple shear flow

The buckling of an elastic plate with arbitrary shape flush-mounted on a rigid wall and deforming under the action of a uniform tangential load due to an overpassing simple shear flow is considered. Working under the auspices of the theory of elastic instability of plates governed by the linear von Kármán equation, an eigenvalue problem is formulated for the buckled state resulting in a fourth-order partial differential equation with position-dependent coefficients parameterized by the Poisson ratio. The governing equation also describes the deformation of a plate clamped around the edges on a vertical wall and buckling under the action of its own weight. Solutions are computed analytically for a circular plate by applying a Fourier series expansion to derive an infinite system of coupled ordinary differential equations and then implementing orthogonal collocation, and numerically for elliptical and rectangular plates by using a finite-element method. The eigenvalues of the resulting generalized algebraic eigenvalue problem are bifurcation points in the solution space, physically representing critical thresholds of the uniform tangential load above which the plate buckles and wrinkles due to the partially compressive developing stresses. The associated eigenfunctions representing possible modes of deformation are illustrated, and the effect of the Poisson ratio and plate shape is discussed.     

Nonlinear stability and dynamics of composite skew plates under nonuniform loadings using differential quadrature method

The buckling, postbuckling and postbuckled vibration behaviour of composite skew plates subjected to nonuniform inplane loadings are presented here. The skew plate is modelled using first order shear deformation theory accounting for von-Kármán geometric nonlinearity and initial geometric imperfections. The different types of nonuniform loads that have been considered in this study are concentrated load, partial load and parabolic load. The explicit analytical expressions for prebuckling stress distributions within composite skew plate subjected to three different types of nonuniform inplane loadings are developed by solving plane elasticity problem using Airy's stress function approach. It is observed that the inplane normal stress distributions within the skew plate due to above nonuniform loadings do not become uniform even at mid-section. The generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) method is used to solve the nonlinear governing partial differential equations. It is observed that the postbuckled load carrying capacity of skew plate under concentrated loading is the lowest compared to other nonuniform and uniform loadings.

Solution of sector plate by Fourier-Bessel series

In this paper a solution of deflection in the form of Fourier-Bessel double series with supplementary terms is proposed to analyse bending and vibration problems of thin elastic sector plate with various edge conditions. This solution is suitable to a wider range, convenient for calculation and it is in an analytical form. As computational examples, the distribution curves of deflection and bending moment of plates with various sector angles, simply supported or clamped along the radial edges under uniform or concentrated load are obtained and the result are compared with the numerical results of related references. Thus the range of application of the Fourier series method with supplementary terms is extended. Frequencies and nodal lines in free vibration of plates with various sector angles simply supported along the radial edges are also given in this paper.Communicated by Hsueh Dai-wei.     

On the refined first-order shear deformation plate theory of Kármán type

A new refined first-order shear-deformation plate theory of the Kármán type is presented for engineering applications and a new version of the generalized Kármán large deflection equations with deflection and stress functions as two unknown variables is formulated for nonlinear analysis of shear-deformable plates of composite material and construction, based on the Mindlin/Reissner theory. In this refined plate theory two rotations that are constrained out in the formulation are imposed upon overall displacements of the plates in an implicit role. Linear and nonlinear investigations may be made by the engineering theory to a class of shear-deformation plates such as moderately thick composite plates, orthotropic sandwich plates, densely stiffened plates, and laminated shear-deformable plates. Reduced forms of the generalized Kármán equations are derived consequently, which are found identical to those existe in the literature.

Stochastic nonlinear bending response of laminated composite plates with system randomness under lateral pressure and thermal loading

In this paper, the effect of sensitivity of randomness in system parameters on the nonlinear transverse central deflection response of laminated composite plates subjected to transverse uniform lateral pressure and thermal loading is examined. System parameters such as the lamina material properties, expansion of thermal coefficients, lamina plate thickness and lateral load are modelled as basic random variables. A higher order shear deformation theory in the von-Karman sense is used to model the system behavior of the laminated plate. A direct iterative-based C ⁰ nonlinear finite element method in conjunction with the first-order perturbation technique developed by the authors is extended for thermal problem to obtain the second-order response statistics, i.e., mean and variance of the nonlinear transverse deflection of the plate. Typical numerical results of composite plates with temperature independent and dependent material properties subjected to uniform temperature and combination of uniform and transverse temperature are obtained for various combinations of geometric parameters, uniform lateral pressures, staking sequences and boundary conditions. The results have been compared with those available in the literature and an independent Monte Carlo simulation.

Large deflection of unsymmetric laminates with mixed boundary conditions

This paper is analytically concerned with non-linear bending of an unsymmetrically laminated angle-ply rectangular plate under lateral load. The plate edges are subjected to the varying rotational constraints. A series solution satisfying the von Karman-type non-linear equations and the required boundary conditions of the plate is presented. In the formulation the edge moments are replaced by an equivalent lateral pressure near the plate edges. Governing equations are reduced to a set of algebraic equations. Numerical results for maximum deflection, bending moment and inplane force of unsymmetric angle-ply plates are graphically presented for various high-modulus materials, aspect ratios, geometries of lamination and boundary conditions. Present results are also compared with available data.

An analytical solution for buckling of moderately thick functionally graded sector and annular sector plates

In this article, an analytical solution for buckling of moderately thick functionally graded (FG) sectorial plates is presented. It is assumed that the material properties of the FG plate vary through the thickness of the plate as a power function. The stability equations are derived according to the Mindlin plate theory. By introducing four new functions, the stability equations are decoupled. The decoupled stability equations are solved analytically for both sector and annular sector plates with two simply supported radial edges. Satisfying the edges conditions along the circular edges of the plate, an eigenvalue problem for finding the critical buckling load is obtained. Solving the eigenvalue problem, the numerical results for the critical buckling load and mode shapes are obtained for both sector and annular sector plates. Finally, the effects of boundary conditions, volume fraction, inner to outer radius ratio (annularity) and plate thickness are studied. The results for critical buckling load of functionally graded sectorial plates are reported for the first time and can be used as benchmark.
