Stability analysis of functionally graded rectangular plates under nonlinearly varying in-plane loading resting on elastic foundation

In this research work, an exact analytical solution for buckling of functionally graded rectangular plates subjected to non-uniformly distributed in-plane loading acting on two opposite simply supported edges is developed. It is assumed that the plate rests on two-parameter elastic foundation and its material properties vary through the thickness of the plate as a power function. The neutral surface position for such plate is determined, and the classical plate theory based on exact neutral surface position is employed to derive the governing stability equations. Considering Levy-type solution, the buckling equation reduces to an ordinary differential equation with variable coefficients. An exact analytical solution is obtained for this equation in the form of power series using the method of Frobenius. By considering sufficient terms in power series, the critical buckling load of functionally graded plate with different boundary conditions is determined. The accuracy of presented results is verified by appropriate convergence study, and the results are checked with those available in related literature. Furthermore, the effects of power of functionally graded material, aspect ratio, foundation stiffness coefficients and in-plane loading configuration together with different combinations of boundary conditions on the critical buckling load of functionally graded rectangular thin plate are studied.     

A method for the estimation of plastic buckling loads

Certain elastic-plastic buckling problems require the solution of an appropriate incremental or “rate” boundary-value problem in order that physically meaningful results may be obtained. In this paper, it is shown that a recent general variational theorem by Neale[8] may be advantageous for the approximate solution of such problems. As an example, the buckling of elastic-plastic cylindrical shells under torsion is analyzed, wherein the material is assumed to obey the incremental theory of plasticity and the effects of initial imperfections in geometry are taken into account.     

Imperfection sensitivity of ultimate buckling strength of elastic-plastic square plates under compression

The mechanism of imperfection sensitivity of elastic-plastic plates under compression is complex as they undergo elastic and/or plastic buckling, dependent on their width-thickness ratio. For elastic buckling, the Koiter power law is an established means to describe the imperfection sensitivity. Yet, for plastic buckling, there is no such an established way to describe it. In this paper, the quadratic power law is advanced to describe imperfection-insensitive plastic buckling behavior. The Koiter power law is extended by implementing the quadratic law so as to describe the elastic and plastic buckling in a synthetic manner. The finite-displacement, elastic-plastic analysis was conducted on simply-supported square plates under compression by varying the plate thickness and the initial deflection of a sinusoidal form. In association with an increase of the plate slenderness parameter (decrease of plate thickness), the predominant buckling is shown to change from (1) plastic buckling to (2) unstable elastic-plastic buckling and to (3) elastic stable bifurcation followed by a maximum point of load. In accordance with the change of the mechanism of buckling, the power law is changed pertinently to describe the complex imperfection sensitivity of the compression plates in a synthetic manner. The extended imperfection sensitivity law is thus advanced as a simple and strong tool to describe the ultimate buckling strength of elastic-plastic plates.

Dynamic buckling and plastic collapse of rectangular strips under axial slamming impact

The dynamic buckling and plastic collapse of elastic-plastic rectangular strips under axial slamming impact are investigated experimentally. The dynamic response of the specimens is measured by several back-to-back paris of strain gages located at different positions. According to the experimental records, the compressive and bending motions of the rectangular strips are analyzed. The strips exhibit three different critical dynamic conditions: buckling, plastic incipience and plastic collapse. Based on the response characters, three criteria are proposed which completely define the elastic-plastic dynamic behavior of rectangular strips under axial slamming impact with loading durations ranging from 14 to 18 milliseconds. These conditions are estimated by introducing three critical axial compressive strains. Moreover, the effect of geometric imperfection on the dynamic behavior of the strips is discussed.

Buckling of Columns with Movable Boundaries∗

The Euler buckling problem of a slender tubular column subject to its own weight, tension or compression exerted at its top, and internal and external variable static fluid pressure is studied. This problem finds many applications in drilling and production risers, mining risers, hydraulic columns, and legs of Tension Leg Platforms. The supports at the upper end of the column are considered movable to properly simulate drill ships or platforms that support such columns. The corresponding eigenvalue problem is comprised of a fourth-order differential equation with variable coefficients and four homogeneous boundary conditions. Two methods of solution derived in previous work are implemented numerically. The first solution is expressed in terms of Airy functions of the first and second kind and the second in terms of power series. The combined results of the two methods yield the critical buckling curves over the entire domain of practical interest. The critical curves are plotted in the plane of the two loading variables for the first six buckling modes for four different sets of boundary conditions. The results reveal the dependence of the asymptotic behavior of the critical curves for long columns on the boundary conditions.     

Stability of Orthotropic Corrugated Cylindrical Shells

A technique for stability analysis of cylindrical shells with a corrugated midsurface is proposed. The wave crests are directed along the generatrix. The relations of shell theory include terms of higher order of smallness than those in the Mushtari–Donnell–Vlasov theory. The problem is solved using a variational equation. The Lamé parameter and curvature radius are variable and approximated by a discrete Fourier transform. The critical load and buckling mode are determined in solving an infinite system of equations for the coefficients of expansion of the resolving functions into trigonometric series. The solution accuracy increases owing to the presence of an aggregate of independent subsystems. Singularities in the buckling modes of corrugated shells corresponding to the minimum critical loads are determined. The basic, practically important conclusion is that both isotropic and orthotropic shells with sinusoidal corrugation are efficient only when their length, which depends on the waveformation parameters and the geometric and mechanical characteristics, is small     

Bifurcation and post-bifurcation analysis in plasticity and brittle fracture

A mathematical model for the bifurcation and post-bifurcation behaviour of rate independent systems governed by normality laws is presented. The considered framework encompasses a large class of phenomena, including simple models of brittle fracture, brittle damage and metal plasticity. An associated method of asymptotic development of the bifurcated solution by integer series is discussed and illustrated by simple examples in plastic stability and fracture, i.e. the buckling of some simple elastic-plastic structures and the bifurcation of systems of interacting cracks. The proposed method furnishes a rigorous framework for the study of the bifurcation problem in the context of rate-independent dissipative systems obeying normality laws, using a different approach than the one adopted so far.     

Contact Transform for the Biharmonic Equation Applicable to Plane Stress Elastoplastic Elliptical Hole Problems

An analytical technique is developed that reduces the unknown elastic-plastic boundary of a linear elastic-perfectly plastic material containing an elliptical hole under tensile plane stress loading conditions into an equivalent mathematical problem with known boundaries. This mathematical transformation may facilitate this problem’s solution by either analytical or numerical means. Yield is assumed to occur in this analysis under the Tresca yield criterion. An example elastic-plastic problem illustrating this method is drawn from existing literature in the form of a perturbation solution for an elliptical hole derived by a series expansion about a circular boundary.

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.     

Thermoelastic buckling response of thick functionally graded plates

The thermoelastic buckling behavior of a thick plate made of a functionally graded material is investigated in this paper by using an exponential shear deformation plate theory. A simple power law based on the rule of mixtures is used to estimate the effective material properties as functions of the plate thickness. The neutral surface position for such functionally graded plates is determined on the basis of the nonlinear strain-displacement relations. Uniform, linear, and nonlinear temperature distributions across the plate are considered. An analytical approach is presented to find the critical buckling temperature, which can be used in engineering calculations. A numerical solution of the problem with the use of an exponential dependence for shear strains is presented. The results obtained are compared with available data.     

Non-linear buckling analysis of inclined circular cylinder-in-cylinder by the discrete singular convolution

The lateral buckling and helical buckling problem of a circular cylinder constrained by an inclined circular cylinder under a compressive force, torsion, and its own weight is complicated and difficult to obtain an exact analytical solution. Thus, the non-linear differential equation is solved incrementally using the discrete singular convolution (DSC) algorithm together with the Newton–Raphson method. Detailed formulations are worked out. A simple way to numerically simulate the helical buckling is proposed and solution procedures are given. Four examples with various inclined angles, weights per unit length of the inner cylinder, axial applied loads, and boundary conditions are investigated. To verify the formulations and solution procedures, comparisons are firstly made with data obtained using the finite element method. It is verified that under certain circumstance, only lateral or helical buckling alone will occur. On some other circumstance, both lateral buckling and helical buckling may occur and the critical helical buckling loads are higher than the critical lateral buckling loads if frictions are not considered. Some conclusions are made based on the results presented herein.
