Dynamical bending of rigid-plastic annular plates

Dynamical bending of circular rigid-plastic annular plates, fixed along the exterior boundary and free on the interior boundary, when subjected to instantaneously applied transverse uniformly distributed blast-type load[1], is investigated in this paper.It is shown that annular plates are preferable to plates without holes, since their load capacity increases while residual deflections decrease. A so-called boundary parameter is introduced to estimate the effect of boundary conditions on the radial bending moment.A procedure for determining the residual deflections at every point of a plate is developed for use on an electronic computer. Numerical examples are given. In the end of the paper, the particularities of solution of our problem for annular plates, corresponding to the setting of Wang[2], Wang and Hopkins[3] for plates without holes are discussed.     

Limit analysis of circular and annular plates

Summary The problem of the plastic collapse load of circular and annular plates is dealt with. For simply supported and built-in edge plates, different loading conditions are considered and the annular plates are studied for varying geometries. The solutions obtained according to both Tresca's and Mises' yield conditions are exact in the sense of limit analysis.

Axisymmetric buckling of transversely isotropic circular and annular plates

This paper presents a general solution of the three-dimensional governing equations for the axisymmetric buckling problem of transversely isotropic media. The solution is expressed by a displacement function that satisfies a homogeneous fourth-order partial differential equation. Using this general solution, the axisymmetric buckling of circular and annular plates is investigated and exact solutions are obtained for appropriate boundary conditions. Numerical results are considered for clamped and simply supported circular and annular plates in comparison with existent results.     

Static load-carrying capacity of circular rigid-plastic plates under gaussian distribution of pressure

Static load-carrying capacities of circular rigid-plastic plates subjected to Gaussian distributions of pressure are presented in this paper. The effects of varying the load distribution as well as the boundary conditions are determined. Curves are presented which bound the load-carrying capacity for boundary conditions between the ideal cases of clamped and simply supported.     

Nonlinear analyses for the postbuckling behaviors of annular and circular thin plates

In this paper we apply the modified method of multiple scales to study the postbuckling behaviors of annular and circular thin plates. The asymptotic solutions have been constructed, the ultimate loads have been determined, and the relations between the length of twisted waves formed by buckling and the flexural rigidity of plates have been discovered.Projects Supported by the Sciences Fund of the Chinese Academy of Sciences     

The effect of laminations on the vibrational modes of circular annular plates

The purpose of this article is to present an experimental study of the effect of laminations on the vibrations of circular annular plates. To obtain a basis for comparison with experimental data, the natural frequencies and mode shapes of a series of solid circular annular plates were calculated using the finite element method. An extensive range of experiments were performed on both a series of solid models and a series of laminated models under a range of normal clamping pressures. Based on the analytical and experimental results, it was found that the vibrational behavior of the laminated plates was dominated by that of the individual plate of which they were composed and that the effects of the laminations on vibrations were mode type dependent. The effects on the transverse vibrational modes were dependent on both the normal clamping pressure and the number of plates. The amplitude of the frequency response function for these modes reduced quickly, and the resonant frequency of such modes shifted higher as the clamping pressure or the number of plates increased. For the in-plane vibrational modes, the amplitude of the frequency response function reduced slightly as the number of plates increased; the resonant frequency of such modes could be considered to be a constant and independent of both the clamping pressure and the number of plates.

Thermoplastic strain of circular sandwich plates on an elastic base

We consider thermomechanical bending of an elastoplastic circular (solid or annular) light-filler sandwich plate resting on an elastic base. The hypotheses of broken normal are used to describe the kinematics of the plate stack nonsymmetric along the thickness. The base reaction is described by the Winkler model. We obtain the system of equilibrium equations and its exact solution in terms of displacements. We also present numerical results for a sandwich annular metal-polymer plate.     

Tensile testing of materials at high rates of strain

A tension version of the split Hopkinson bar or Kolsky apparatus is developed for conducting tests in tension at high rates of strain up to 10³ s^?1. A number of aluminum, titanium, and steel alloys tested in tension show increasing degrees of rate sensitivity above 10 to 10² s^?1. Tests on 6061-T651 and 7075-T6 aluminum show measurable strain-rate sensitivity in tension at the highest strain rates, although similar tests in compression in the literature show essentially no strain-rate sensitivity. Details of the apparatus and instrumentation and guidelines for its use are presented.     

Unsymmetrical bending problems for the annular and circular thin plates under various supporting conditions (I)

Compression of solid and annular circular discs bonded to rigid surfaces

Although it is noted in the literature that the presence of a central hole in an elastic layer bonded to rigid surfaces can cause significant drop in its compression modulus, not much attention is given for investigating thoroughly and in detail the influence of the hole on the layer behavior. This paper presents analytical solutions to the problem of the uniform compression of bonded hollow circular elastic layers, which includes solid circular layers as a special case as the radius of hollow section vanishes. The closed-form expressions derived in this study are advanced in the sense that three of the commonly used assumptions in the analysis of bonded elastic layers are eliminated: (i) the incompressibility assumption, (ii) the “pressure” assumption and (iii) the assumption that plane sections remain plane after deformation. Through the use of the analytical solutions derived in the study, the compressive behavior of bonded circular discs is studied. Particular emphasis is given to the investigation of the effects of the existence of a central hole on the compression modulus, stress distributions and maximum stresses/strains in view of three key parameters: radius ratio of the hole, aspect ratio of the disc and Poisson’s ratio of the disc material.

Response of circular plates to central pulse loading

An analysis is presented for the response of a clamped circular plate subjected to a rectangular pulse uniformly distributed over a central circular area. The plate is rigid-perfectly plastic with yielding according to the Johansen criterion and the associated flow rule. Bending is assumed to be the predominant response. Simple formulas are obtained for the permanent central deflection for all pressures and loaded areas.
