A minimal composite theory for stability of non-parallel compressible boundary-layer flow

A new minimal composite theory that extends the approach of Govindarajan and Narasimha [1] is proposed here for 2D non-parallel compressible boundary-layer stability subject to 3D disturbances. The mean profiles are obtained from Hortons analysis, which provides a good approximation for a large range of Prandtl numbers at non-zero pressure gradients. In the lowest order, all effects of order lower than O(R^-2/3) anywhere in the boundary-layer are included, R being the local boundary-layer Reynolds number; the resulting non-parallel formulation yields a set of four ordinary differential equations, as compared to the five coupled equations of classical parallel flow theory of Mack [2]. The largest effect on stability of flow non-parallelism is found to be due to the wall-normal advection of velocity and temperature disturbance quantities by the mean flow. The present theory shows that the bulk viscosity, invariably included in compressible stability theories, is irrelevant at the lowest order. In comparison with the full [O(R^-1)] non-parallel theory, the present theory is marginally better than the parallel flow theory. PACS 03.50.De, 04.20-q, 42.65-k

General analytical solution to bending of composite laminated beams with delaminations

Based on the first-order shear deformable beam theory, a refined model for composite beams containing a through-the-width delamination is presented, and the deformation at the delamination front is considered. Different from the ordinary delami- nated beam theory, each of the perfectly bonded portions of the new model is constructed as two separated beams along the interface without assuming a plane section at the de- lamination front. The governing equations of the delaminated portions and bonded ones are established, combined with continuity conditions of displacements and internal forces. Solutions of delaminated composite beams with different boundary conditions, delamina- tion locations and sizes axe shown in excellent agreement with the finite element results, showing efficiency and applicability of the present model.     

A new higher-order shear deformation theory and refined beam element of composite laminates

A new higher-order shear deformation theory based on global-local superposition technique is developed. The theory satisfies the free surface conditions and the geometric and stress continuity conditions at interfaces. The global displacement components are of the Reddy theory and local components are of the internal first to third-order terms in each layer. A two-node beam element based on this theory is proposed. The solutions are compared with 3D-elasticity solutions. Numerical results show that present beam element has higher computational efficiency and higher accuracy.The project supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (10172023)

复合材料层合板静压痕接触的等效弹性模量

在复合材料层合板静压痕接触问题中,由于层合板接触区域的纤维走向发生了变化,导致沿厚度方向的弹性模量产生变化并随着凹坑深度的增加而增大。本文建立压头压入后的力学分析模型,得到了与凹坑深度相关的沿厚度方向的等效弹性模量;将等效弹性模量代入目前被广泛接受的修正Hertz接触理论,建立了新的接触力与凹坑深度的关系式。通过与静压痕试验中接触力和凹坑深度的关系进行比较,结果表明该接触关系式能较好地描述接触力和凹坑深度的关系。与文献修正理论相比,在压痕较小时,本文的修正结果较好。     

Stability analysis of unbounded uniform shear flows of dense, slightly inelastic spheres based on a frictional-kinetic theory

Asymptotic and transient stability analyses of unbounded uniform shear flows of dense, slightly inelastic, spherical particles were carried out using a frictional-kinetic theory. This model proposed for describing dense flows is based on a critical state plasticity theory and a simplified kinetic theory. In this model, the bulk and shear viscosities, the “thermal” conductivity, and the energy dissipation rate are proportional to a “mean pressure” which is composed of a quasistatic-frictional-contribution pressure considered for slow, plasticity deformations and a granular-kinetic-theorycollisional-contribution pressure. We studied two-dimensional stability analyses of layering disturbances (i.e., the perturbations whose wave number vectors are aligned only in the gradient) as well as nonlayering disturbances (the wave number vectors have nonzero streamwise components). Although this model has a simpler framework, it predicted similar results to those obtained using a more elaborate frictional-kinetic model. For instance, nonlayering disturbances are asymptotically stable at large time; the maximum transient growth of disturbances increases as the solids fraction or the friction coefficient is increased; and transient growths of disturbances can be significant due to the non-normality of the system. However, the prediction of the asymptotic stability of layering disturbances may be questionable because the collisional-contribution terms of the present model were over-simplified.     

Exact solution and stability of postbuckling configurations of beams

We present an exact solution for the postbuckling configurations of beams with fixed–fixed, fixed–hinged, and hinged–hinged boundary conditions. We take into account the geometric nonlinearity arising from midplane stretching, and as a result, the governing equation exhibits a cubic nonlinearity. We solve the nonlinear buckling problem and obtain a closed-form solution for the postbuckling configurations in terms of the applied axial load. The critical buckling loads and their associated mode shapes, which are the only outcome of solving the linear buckling problem, are obtained as a byproduct. We investigate the dynamic stability of the obtained postbuckling configurations and find out that the first buckled shape is a stable equilibrium position for all boundary conditions. However, we find out that buckled configurations beyond the first buckling mode are unstable equilibrium positions. We present the natural frequencies of the lowest vibration modes around each of the first three buckled configurations. The results show that many internal resonances might be activated among the vibration modes around the same as well as different buckled configurations. We present preliminary results of the dynamic response of a fixed–fixed beam in the case of a one-to-one internal resonance between the first vibration mode around the first buckled configuration and the first vibration mode around the second buckled configuration.     

Geometrically nonlinear isogeometric analysis of laminated composite plates based on higher-order shear deformation theory

In this paper, we present an effectively numerical approach based on isogeometric analysis (IGA) and higher-order shear deformation theory (HSDT) for geometrically nonlinear analysis of laminated composite plates. The HSDT allows us to approximate displacement field that ensures by itself the realistic shear strain energy part without shear correction factors (SCFs). IGA utilizing basis functions namely B-splines or non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS) enables to satisfy easily the stringent continuity requirement of the HSDT model without any additional variables. The nonlinearity of the plates is formed in the total Lagrange approach based on the small strain assumptions. Numerous numerical validations for the isotropic, orthotropic, cross-ply and angle-ply laminated plates are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Postbuckling behaviors of open section composite struts with edge delamination using a layerwise theory

We investigate the mechanical stability of L-section and T-section composite struts with single edge delamination. We propose a solution procedure based on a layerwise theory and the first order shear deformation theory by taking into consideration of the von Karman geometrical nonlinearity. We derive the nonlinear equilibrium equations according to the minimum total potential energy principle, and solve them using Rayleigh–Ritz method and Newton–Raphson method. In modeling the delaminated L-section and T-section struts, we divide the structures into regions, and exert continuity conditions between different regions. The proposed model is capable of analyzing both local buckling of the base laminate and sublaminate as well as the global buckling of the whole structure. We present numerical results to provide an insight into effects of size of delamination on buckling mode and post-buckling behaviors of the struts. We perform the three-dimensional finite element analysis using the ABAQUS commercial software. The results show a very good agreement with those obtained by the analytical method. The results indicate that the presence of delaminations not only reduces the load-carrying capacity of open section struts remarkably, but also plays a pivotal role in the critical buckling load and buckling mode shape of the struts.
