Nonlinear vibration of symmetrically laminated composite skew plates by finite element method

Here, the large amplitude free flexural vibration behavior of symmetrically laminated composite skew plates is investigated using the finite element method. The formulation includes the effects of shear deformation, in-plane and rotary inertia. The geometric non-linearity based on von Kármán's assumptions is introduced. The nonlinear matrix amplitude equation obtained by employing Galerkin's method is solved by direct iteration technique. Time history for the nonlinear free vibration of composite skew plate is also obtained using Newmark's time integration technique to examine the accuracy of matrix amplitude equation. The variation of nonlinear frequency ratios with amplitudes is brought out considering different parameters such as skew angle, fiber orientation and boundary condition.     

Bending and vibration of composite laminated plates

Hybrid-stress finite element method is applied for analysis of bending and vibration of composite laminated plates in this paper. Firstly, based on the modified complementary principle, a rectangular hybrid-stress plate bending element is presented which applies to analysis of laminates. Inside the element, different stress parameters are assumed according to different layers. The boundary displacements are determined by means of the assumption of YNS theory on the boundary of elements. The element formed in this way not only can take effects of transverse shear deformation and local warping into account, but also has less degrees of freedom. Then, problems of bending and vibration of laminates are solved by using this element, and the numerical results are compared with the exact solutions. This shows that the results obtained in the paper are very close to the exact results.     

粘弹层合板的自由振动和横向应力

Based on Reddy＇s layerwise theory, the governing equations for dynamic response of viscoelastic laminated plate are derived by using the quadratic interpolation function for displacement in the direction of plate thickness. Vibration frequencies and loss factors are calculated for free vibration of simply supported viscoelastic sandwich plate, showing good agreement with the results in the literature. Harmonious transverse stresses can be obtained. The results show that the transverse shear stresses are the main factor to the delamination of viscoelastic laminated plate in lower-frequency free vibration, and the transverse normal stress is the main one in higher-frequency free vibration. Relationship between the modulus of viscoelastic materials and transverse stress is analyzed. Ratio between the transverse stress＇s maximum value and the in-plane stress＇s maximum-value is obtained. The results show that the proposed method, and the adopted equations and programs are reliable.

Nonlinear vibration of generally laminated anisotropic thick plates

Summary Nonlinear equations of motion of generally laminated anisotropic plates are derived by use of Hamilton's principle. The effects of transverse shear and rotatory inertia are included in the analysis. The equations of motion so obtained readily reduce to those obtained in a recent nonlinear theory of anisotropic plates including transverse shear and rotatory inertia and to the dynamic von Kármán equations of plates. Based on the Galarkin procedure and principle of harmonic balance approximate solutions to the governing equations of generally laminated rectangular plates are formulated for various boundary conditions. Including the effects of transverse shear and rotatory inertia numerical results for the ratio of nonlinear frequency to linear frequency of symmetric angle-ply and cross-ply laminates, unsymmetric angle-ply and cross-ply laminates and an arbitrarily laminated plate are presented graphically for various values of elastic properties, fiber orientation angle, number of layers, thickness-to-span ratio and aspect ratio. Present results are also compared with the existing data.

Nonlinear vibration of viscoelastic sandwich plates under narrow-band random excitations

The effect of the narrow-band random excitation on the non-linear response of sandwich plates with an incompressible viscoelastic core is investigated. To model the core, both the transverse shear strains and rotations are assumed to be moderate and the displacement field in the thickness direction is assumed to be linear for the in-plane components and quadratic for the out-of-plane components. In connection to the moderate shear strains considered for the core, a non-linear single-integral viscoelastic model is also used for constitutive modeling of the core. The fifth-order perturbation method is used together with the Galerkin method to transform the nine partial differential equations to a single ordinary integro-differential equation. Converting the lower-order viscoelastic integral term to the differential form, the fifth-order method of multiple scale is applied together with the method of reconstitution to obtain the stochastic phase-amplitude equations. The Fokker–Planck–Kolmogorov equation corresponding to these equations is then solved by the finite difference method, to determine the probability density of the response. The variation of root mean square and marginal probability density of the response amplitude with excitation deterministic frequency and magnitudes are investigated and the bimodal distribution is recognized in narrow ranges of excitation frequency and magnitude.

Nonlinear free vibration analysis of piezoelastic laminated plates with interface damage

This paper presents a nonlinear model for piezoelastic laminated plates with damage effect of the intra-layers and inter-laminar interfaces. Discontinuity of displacement and electric potential on the interfaces are depicted by three shape functions. By using the Hamilton variation principle, the three-dimensional nonlinear dynamic equations of piezoelastic laminated plates with damage effect are derived. Then, by using the Galerkin method, a mathematical solution is presented. In the numerical studies, effects of various factors on the natural frequencies and nonlinear amplitude-frequency response of the simply-supported peizoelastic laminated plates with interfacial imperfections are discussed. These factors include different damage models, thickness of the piezoelectric layer, side-to-thickness ratio, and length-to-width ratio.

Thermally induced vibration and stability of laminated composite plates with temperature-dependent properties

This paper presents a study on the buckling and vibration of initially stressed composite plates with temperature-dependent material properties in thermal environments. The initial stress is taken to be a combination of a pure bending stress and an axial stress. The temperature distribution in the plate is assumed to be uniform and linear in the transverse direction. The governing equations including the transverse shear deformation effects are established using the variational method. The effects of various parameters on the buckling and vibration behaviors of laminated plates with respective temperature-dependent and temperature-independent material properties are investigated. The buckling load and natural frequency are sensitive to the thermal stresses and initial stresses. Numerical results reveal that temperature-dependent material properties should be considered in the buckling and vibration analysis for laminated plates under thermal conditions.     

Analysis of composite laminated plates

In the static and dynamic analysis of composite laminates, a theory for the laminated plates is presented in this paper. Because the deflection W_b which is caused by the classical bending deformation and the deflection W₅ which is caused by the shear deformation are divided from the total deflection W in the theory, this makes it easy to solve the governing equations. In addition, this theory is convenient for the discussion and analysis of the effects of transverse shear deformations on bendings, vibrations and stabilities of laminated plates.

Nonlinear vibration of a rotating laminated composite circular cylindrical shell: traveling wave vibration

In this paper, the large-amplitude (geometrically nonlinear) vibrations of rotating, laminated composite circular cylindrical shells subjected to radial harmonic excitation in the neighborhood of the lowest resonances are investigated. Nonlinearities due to large-amplitude shell motion are considered using the Donnell’s nonlinear shallow-shell theory, with account taken of the effect of viscous structure damping. The dynamic Young’s modulus which varies with vibrational frequency of the laminated composite shell is considered. An improved nonlinear model, which needs not to introduce the Airy stress function, is employed to study the nonlinear forced vibrations of the present shells. The system is discretized by Galerkin’s method while a model involving two degrees of freedom, allowing for the traveling wave response of the shell, is adopted. The method of harmonic balance is applied to study the forced vibration responses of the two-degrees-of-freedom system. The stability of analytical steady-state solutions is analyzed. Results obtained with analytical method are compared with numerical simulation. The agreement between them bespeaks the validity of the method developed in this paper. The effects of rotating speed and some other parameters on the nonlinear dynamic response of the system are also investigated.

Free vibration analysis of stiffened laminated plates

Based on the semi-analytical solution of the state-vector equation theory, a novel mathematical model for free vibration analysis of stiffened laminated plates is developed by separate consideration of plate and stiffeners. The method accounts for the compatibility of displacements and stresses on the interface between the plate and stiffeners, the transverse shear deformation, and naturally the rotary inertia of the plate and stiffeners. Meanwhile, there is no restriction on the thickness of plate and the height of stiffeners. To demonstrate the excellent predictive capability of the model, several examples are analyzed numerically. The model presented in this paper can also be easily modified to solve the problems of stiffened piezolaminated plates and shells, or plates and shells with piezoelectric material patches.     

First-ply failure of laminated composite plates

Composite laminates offer superior load carrying capacity. Reliable application of structures requires a knowledge of their stress/strain and failure behavior. past treatments involved assumptions in both the stress and failure analyses; they become increasingly more difficult when the failure of the microstructure constituents is to be included in the continuum analysis of the laminates. Recognizing the conventional failure criteria used for composite material analyses, this work adopts the first-ply failure criterion by application of a polynomial function and the finite element procedure.The laminates are modeled by the Reissner-Mindlin plate theory that accounts for moderate rotation. This is because shear effects are more pronounced in composite laminates whose transverse shear modulus is low relative to the Young's modulus. Failure loads are obtained for different laminate thicknesses, stacking sequences and aspect ratios and different failure criteria. The results show that predictions made from the maximum stress criterion are nearly the same as the others, except for those obtained by the Hill criterion.
