Thermal vibration analysis of functionally graded shallow spherical caps by introducing a decoupling analytical approach

Due to many applications of spherical shells on a circular planform such as the nose of the plane and spacecraft and caps of pressurized cylindrical tanks, in this article, free vibration analysis of a thin functionally graded shallow spherical cap under a thermal load is considered. A decoupling technique is employed to analytically solve the equations of motion. Introducing some new auxiliary and potential functions as well as using the separation method of variables, the governing equations of the vibrated functionally graded shallow spherical cap were exactly solved. The superiority of the relations is validated by some comparative studies for various types of boundary conditions. Also, thermal buckling phenomenon is considered. Using new different material models, efficiency of the functionally graded materials is investigated when the shell is subjected to a temperature gradient. The effects of various parameters such as radius of curvature, material grading index and thermal gradient are discussed.     

Strain gradient plasticity solution for an internally pressurized thick-walled cylinder of an elastic linear-hardening material

An elastic-plastic solution is presented for an internally pressurized thick-walled plane strain cylinder of an elastic linear-hardening plastic material. The solution is derived in a closed form using a strain gradient plasticity theory. The inner radius of the cylinder enters the solution not only in non-dimensional forms but also with its own dimensional identity, which differs from that in classical plasticity based solutions and makes it possible to capture the size effect at the micron scale. The classical plasticity solution of the same problem is recovered as a special case of the current solution. To further illustrate the newly derived solution, formulas and numerical results for the plastic limit pressure are provided. These results reveal that the load-carrying capacity of the cylinder increases with decreasing inner radius at the micron scale. It is also seen that the macroscopic behavior of the pressurized cylinder can be well described by using classical plasticity based solutions.

Comparative Study of Experimental and Simulated Buckled Shapes of Alternately-Loaded Plates

A circular plate is inelastically deformed by uniform pressure, unloaded and then alternately reloaded to the same peak level. For each iteration, snap-through occurs at an increased pressure relative to the previous one, leading to additional plastic deformation. By repeating this process, the plate either fails or a limit state of deformation is reached under peak pressure without snap-through. For the case of a limit state, the results of [1] are extended to numerically determine the pressure above the peak level causing the plate to snap-through again. This is compared to the snap-through pressure of an initially unloaded spherical cap whose radius corresponds to the maximum displacement achieved in the limit case.

Nonlinear analysis of thick shallow spherical and conical orthotropic caps using Galerkin's method

An approximate analytical solution of the moderately large deflection axisymmetric response of moderately thick conical and spherical polar orthotropic caps is presented using first-order shear deformation theory. Governing equations in terms of deflection w, rotation ψ of the midsurface and stress function Φ are used. Rotational and inplane inertia are neglected. The rotation ψ is approximated by a one-term spatial mode shape. The moment equation of equilibrium and the compatibility equations are solved exactly for w and Φ. Galerkin's method is applied to the transverse equation of motion to obtain governing equation for the central deflection. The effect of the radius-to-thickness ratio of the cap on the response is studied.

Axisymmetric buckling of laminated thick annular spherical cap

Axisymmetric buckling analysis is presented for moderately thick laminated shallow annular spherical cap under transverse load. Buckling under central ring load and uniformly distributed transverse load, applied statically or as a step function load is considered. The central circular opening is either free or plugged by a rigid central mass or reinforced by a rigid ring. Annular spherical caps have been analysed for clamped and simple supports with movable and immovable inplane edge conditions. The governing equations of the Marguerre-type, first order shear deformation shallow shell theory (FSDT), formulated in terms of transverse deflection w, the rotation ψ of the normal to the midsurface and the stress function Φ, are solved by the orthogonal point collocation method. Typical numerical results for static and dynamic buckling loads for FSDT are compared with the classical lamination theory and the dependence of the effect of the shear deformation on the thickness parameter for various boundary conditions is investigated.     

Load-Carrying Capacity of Circular Plates Made of a Fiber-Reinforced Composite

The load-carrying capacity of circular plates made of a fiber-reinforced composite and loaded with axisymmetric transverse forces under axisymmetric boundary conditions is investigated. The plates can be freely supported or clamped along their contour. To the known yield condition used, in the plane of main bending moments, there correspond irregular hexagons, which depend on the mechanical properties of composite constituents and some characteristic geometrical parameters. It is shown that, depending on the ratio of ultimate radial and circumferential bending moments, in the plastic state, the circular plates (the central part of the clamped plates) take the form of a cone or a frustum of cone. For each of the cases, the limit load is found, which is a function of the above-mentioned mechanical parameters. The statically allowable fields of bending moments and the corresponding allowable fields of deflection rates are determined. The solutions found are exact. Special cases for the freely supported plates are analyzed, and the results obtained are presented in the form of graphs.__________Translated from Mekhanika Kompozitnykh Materialov, Vol. 41, No. 2, pp. 177–192, March–April, 2005.     

Plastic zone development in dynamic tear-type test specimens

The J-integral is a fracture criterion, which permits measurement of the fracture toughness of a specimen where fracture occurs in the elastic–plastic regime. An understanding of the ratio of plastic zone size (radius) to the crack tip blunting (stretch zone) is required to determine the upper temperature for transition curves, where elastic–plastic fracture becomes invalid and general yielding occurs. This study endeavors to acquire this ratio using finite element techniques. The development of the plastic zone in dynamic tear (DT) specimens and non-standard three-point bending fracture test specimens was the main focus of the study. The ABAQUS finite element software was used to model the elastic–plastic behaviour of the specimens. The cracks in the specimens were induced by pressing the notch followed by fatigue cracking at 30–40% of the limit loads. The shapes of these cracks were adequately modelled in the finite element analysis. The specimens were made of 350WT steel and 304 stainless steel materials and were loaded until fixed amounts of permanent deformation were recorded. Results were obtained in the form of plots, showing the progression of the plastic zone around the crack tip. For each case, mid-point plastic deflection, stretch zone width and plastic zone radius were computed.

Reliability based limit design of steel frames with limited residual strain energy capacity

The aim of this paper is to take into consideration the influence of the limited load carrying capacity of the connections on the plastic limit state of elasto-plastic steel (or composite) framed structures under multi-parameter stochastic loading and probabilistically given conditions. In addition to the plastic limit design to control the plastic behaviour of the structure, bound on the complementary strain energy of the residual forces is also applied. This bound has significant effect for the load parameter. If the design uncertainties (manufacturing, strength, geometrical) are expressed by the calculation of the complementary strain energy of the residual forces a reliability based extended limit design problem is formed. The formulations of the problems yield to nonlinear mathematical programming which are solved by the use of sequential quadratic algorithm. The bi-level optimization procedure governed by the reliability index calculation. (© 2009 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

The motion of a ball on a grassy lawn

The motion of a ball of constant spherical shape on a grassy lawn represented by a set of deformable rods with one end rigidly attached to a plane, while the other end is free and can contact the ball, is investigated. The contact area on the ball surface is represented by a spherical sector, whose dimensions and location on the ball surface depend on the position of the centre of the ball and its orientation. The projection of the contact area onto the plane is a circle, whose centre and radius vary as the centre of the ball moves. When the rods come into contact with the ball, they experience longitudinal and flexural strains, as well as impact actions on the boundary of the contact area. The translational–rotational motion of a ball on a lawn of rods without friction, as well as motion with viscous friction at the points of contact of the ends of the rods with the ball, is considered.
