Photothermoelastic investigation of stresses around a hole in a plate subjected to thermal shock

This paper contains a three-dimensional photothermoelastic study of stresses generated around the edge of a hole in a flat unrestrained plate subjected to a thermal shock uniformly applied to one face of the plate. The approach taken is experimental in nature, utilizing a newly developed three-dimensional, non-destructive photoelastic technique. An extrapolation procedure is formulated in order to determine transient fringe orders at the thermally shocked surface. For the case considered, the thermal-stress-concentration factor at the edge of the hole was found to be 1.28. Paper was presented at 1964 SESA Annual Meeting held in Cleveland, Ohio, on October 28–30. Work reported herein was conducted by the Douglas Missile and Space Systems Division under company sponsored Research and Development funds.

Interfacial stress analysis of a thin plate bonded to a rigid substrate and subjected to inclined loading

The so-called peel test, in which a thin plate bonded to a substrate is subjected to an inclined pulling force, has been widely used to characterise the bond behaviour of adhesives. This paper presents an analytical solution for the interfacial normal and shear stresses in such a peel test to provide an improved understanding of its underlying mechanism. An approximate closed-form solution is also presented. The effect of the peel angle (i.e. the angle between the applied force and the substrate) on the interfacial stresses is discussed. Apart from being a widely used test for quantifying adhesive characteristics, the process of debonding in a peel test resembles that of intermediate flexural-shear or shear crack induced debonding in flexurally strengthened RC members, where a relative vertical displacement exists between the two sides of the crack, leading to an angle between the external plate and the concrete substrate. Therefore, the results of this study also offer some insight into the latter failure mode which is very important in the flexural strengthening design of RC members.     

Axially symmetric deformations and stability of a geometrically nonlinear circular plate subjected to multiparametrical static loading

Summary Axially symmetric deformations and stability of a geometrically nonlinear circular plate subjected to multiparametrical static loading systems are investigated by means of a so-called deformation map. The deformation map was further used for stability considerations of geometrically nonlinear shells, see Shilkrut [1, 2]. The map reveals the complete picture of the axially symmetric deformations and the stability of the investigated structure. The equilibrium differential equations for the above mentioned circular plate were derived by Timoshenko [3]. The boundary value problem of the investigated structure is transformed to an initial value problem (Cauchy's problem). Then the Runge-Kutta (R. K.) method can be used to solve numerically the equilibrium equations. The geometrically nonlinear, simply supported circular plate subjected to uniform radial force and uniform radial bending moment acting along the supported edge is investigated as example, and some new qualitative and quantitative results are obtained. This approach can be used without essential difficulties for the investigation of axially symmetric deformations and stability of a geometrically nonlinear circular plate subjected to multiparametrical static loading systems in elastic and non-elastic fields.

Axialsymmetrische Verformung und Stabilität geometrisch nichtlinearer Kreisplatten unter mehrparametrischer statischer Belastung

Übersicht Zur Untersuchung axialsymmetrischer, geometrisch nichtlinearer Verformung von Kreisplatten und ihrer Stabilität bei mehrparametrischer Belastung wird eine sog. Deformationskarte benutzt. Sie wurde auch für Stabilitätsbetrachtungen geometrisch nichtlinearer Schalen benutzt, s. Shilkrut [1,2]. Die Karte zeigt das vollständige Bild der axialsymmetrischen Verformung und die Stabilität der untersuchten Struktur. Das Randwertproblem zu den differentiellen Gleichgewichtsbedingungen, die für die betrachtete Platte von Timoshenko [3] hergeleitet wurden, wird in ein Anfangswertproblem (Caudy-Problem) überführt, welches numerisch nach der Methode von Runge-Kutta gelöst wird. Als Beispiel wird die nichtlineare Kreisplatte unter radialer Zug-und Biegemomentenbelastung am einfach gestützten Umfang untersucht, und man erhält einige neue qualitative und quantitative Ergebnisse. Die Methode läßt sich ohne wesentliche Schwierigkeiten auch auf axialsymmetrische, nichtlineare Verformungen und die Stabilität von Kreisplatten unter anderen mehrparametrischen statischen Belastungen im elastischen und nichtelastischen Bereich anwenden.

     

An efficient higher order zigzag theory for composite and sandwich beams subjected to thermal loading

A new efficient higher order zigzag theory is presented for thermal stress analysis of laminated beams under thermal loads, with modification of the third order zigzag model by inclusion of the explicit contribution of the thermal expansion coefficient α₃ in the approximation of the transverse displacement w. The thermal field is approximated as piecewise linear across the thickness. The displacement field is expressed in terms of the thermal field and only three primary displacement variables by satisfying exactly the conditions of zero transverse shear stress at the top and the bottom and its continuity at the layer interfaces. The governing equations are derived using the principle of virtual work. Fourier series solutions are obtained for simply-supported beams. Comparison with the exact thermo-elasticity solution for thermal stress analysis under two kinds of thermal loads establishes that the present zigzag theory is generally very accurate and superior to the existing zigzag theory for composite and sandwich beams.     

Deformation of a slab on a rigid half space subjected to a periodic strip loading

The deformation of an elastic layer bonded to a rigid half-space and subjected to bands of pressure spaced periodically along a strip is treated. It is shown that there exists a critical periodicity of the band spacing for which the displacement of the top surface, midway between the bands, is a maximum. It is concluded that this periodicity varies with the thickness of the slab, the Poisson's ratio of the material, and the band width. Numerical calculations are presented to show the effect of these parameters.     

Non-linear vibration analysis of an elastic plate subjected to heavy fluid loading in magnetic field

In the present study, the non-linear vibration of an elastic plate subjected to heavy fluid loading in an inclined magnetic field is investigated. The structural non-linearity, fluid non-linearity, and the effects of magnetic field are all incorporated in the formulations to derive the governing equation of the plate. The method of multiple scales is adopted to determine the eigenvalues and mode shapes of the linear vibration, and then the amplitude of the non-linear vibration response of the plate is calculated. Based on the assumptions of ordering and formulations of multiple scales, it can be concluded that the linear dynamic behavior of the plate under heavy fluid loading but weak near-resonant loading is influenced by the effects of the fluid loading, linear structural rigidity and linear magnetic field, furthermore, the non-linear dynamic behavior of the plate under heavy fluid loading but weak near-resonant loading is dominated and controlled by the effects of the fluid loading, non-linear structural rigidity and non-linear magnetic field. Both thick and thin plates are investigated; the contributions due to the structural non-linearity and acoustic linear radiation damping are of the same order for a rather thick plate. For a thin plate, the structural non-linearity completely controls the behavior of the plate, which implies that in this case the effect of fluid loading is considerably negligible. In general, it can be concluded that both the effects of magnetic field and structural non-linearity play important roles only on the first few modes of the plate.     

Effect of stresses and strains on impurity redistribution in a plate under uniaxial loading

A model for the saturation of the surface layer of a thin metal plate with an impurity from the environment under uniaxial mechanical loading is proposed and investigated. The effect of stresses and strains on the diffusion process is analyzed. It is shown that, first, due to the deformation of the crystal lattice of the base, stresses that occur in local volumes lead to a change in the diffusion activation energy; second, stresses influence impurity transfer (this effect is similar to mass transfer by pressure diffusion in liquids). The joint effect of the two types of influences of stresses and strains on the behavior of the system at various geometrical and physical sample parameters is numerically investigated.

Heat source function method is adopted in the present paper to derive elementary solutions of coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical consolidation for saturated porous media under conjunct actions of instantaneous point heat source, instantaneous point fluid source and constant volume force. By using the so-called fictitious heat source method and images method, the solutions of a semi-infinite saturated porous medium subjected to a local heat source with time-varied intensity on its free surface are developed from elementary solutions. The numerical integral methods for calculating the unsteady temperature, pore pressure and displacement fields are given. The thermomechanical response are analyzed for the case of a circular planar heat source. Besides, the thermal consolidation characteristics of a saturated porous medium subjected to a harmonic thermal loading are also given, and the fluctuation processes of the field variables located below the center of heat source are analyzed.

Adhesion of micro-cantilevers subjected to mechanical point loading: modeling and experiments

This paper presents experimental and theoretical results that characterize the adhesion of MEMS cantilevers by means of mechanical actuation. Micro-cantilever beams are loaded at various locations along the freestanding portion of the beam using a nanoindenter. Transitions between three equilibrium configurations (freestanding, arc-shaped, and s-shaped beams) and the response to cyclic loading are studied experimentally. The resulting mechanical response is used to estimate the interface adhesion energy (using theoretical models), and to quantify the energy dissipated during cyclic loading. The experiments reveal interesting behaviors related to adhesion: (i) path dependence during mechanical loading of adhered beams, (ii) history dependence of interfacial adhesion energy during repeated loading, and (iii) energy dissipation during cyclic loading, which scales roughly with estimated cyclic changes in the size of the adhered regions. The experimental results are interpreted in the context of elementary fracture-based adhesion and contact models, and briefly discussed in terms of their implications regarding the nature of adhesion and future modeling to establish adhesion mechanisms.     

A Green's function approach to the deflection of a FGM plate under transient thermal loading

Summary  Green's function approach is adopted for analyzing the deflection and the transient temperature distribution of a plate made of functionally graded materials (FGMs). The governing equations for the deflection and the transient temperature are formulated into eigenvalue problems by using the eigenfunction expansion theory. Green's functions for solving the deflection and the transient temperature are obtained by using the Galerkin method and the laminate theory, respectively. The eigenfunctions of Green's function for the deflection are approximated in terms of a series of admissible functions that satisfy the homogeneous boundary conditions of the plate. The eigenfunctions of Green's function for the temperature are determined from the continuity conditions of the temperature and the heat flux at interfaces.

A three-dimensional rectangular crack subjected to shear loading

In this paper a solution is derived to treat the three-dimensional elastostatic problem of a narrow rectangular crack embedded in an infinite elastic medium and subjected to equal and opposite shear stress distribution across its faces. Employing two-dimensional integral transforms and assuming a plane-strain solution across the width of the crack, the stress field ahead of the crack length is reduced to the solution of an integral equation of Fredholm type. A numerical solution of the integral equation and the corresponding mode II stress-intensity factor is obtained for several crack dimensions and Poisson's ratios of the material.
