BIPARAMETRIC PERTURBATION SOLUTIONS OF LARGE DEFLECTION PROBLEM OF CANTILEVER BEAMS

The large deflection problem of cantilever beams was studied by means of the biparametric perturbation method and the first order derivative substitution from pseudolinear analysis approach. This kind of substitution can transform the basic equation, an integral differential equation into nonlinear algebraic ones, thus simplify computational process. Compared with present results, it indicates that the large deflection problem solved by using pseudolinear analysis can lead to simple and precise results.     

A new technique for large deflection analysis of non-prismatic cantilever beams

This paper studies the very large deflection behavior of prismatic and non-prismatic cantilever beams subjected to various types of loadings. The formulation is based on representing the angle of rotation of the beam by a polynomial on the position variable along the deflected beam axis. The coefficients of the polynomial are obtained by minimizing the integral of the residual error of the governing differential equation and by applying the beam’s boundary conditions. Several numerical examples are presented covering prismatic and non-prismatic cantilever beams subjected to uniform, non-uniform distributed loads and tip concentrated loadings in vertical and horizontal directions. The loads considered in this study are restricted to the non-follower type loads. Cases with different loadings and geometries are compared with MSC/NASTRAN computer package. However, for some very large deflection case, the MSC/NASTRAN failed to predict the deflected shape due to divergence problems.

An integral approach for large deflection cantilever beams

A new integral approach is proposed to solve the large deflection cantilever beam problems. By using the moment integral treatment, this approach can be applied to problems of complex load and varying beam properties. This versatile approach generally requires only simple numerical techniques thus is easy for application. Treatment for typical loading and beam property conditions are presented to demonstrate the capability of this approach.

Nonlinear analysis of a thin circular functionally graded plate and large deflection effects on the forces and moments

The dynamic von Karman equations are used for nonlinear analysis of a thin circular plate made of a functionally graded material. The thickness of the plate is constant and the properties of the functionally graded material depend on temperature and vary throughout the thickness. It is assumed that the plate oscillates with large amplitudes. The forces and moments in the plate are determined in solving the equations for harmonic vibrations. Relevant results are obtained in the case of stead-state free vibrations. These results indicate that the volume fraction has a strong effect on the forces, moments, and material properties Published in Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 44, No. 6, pp. 134–144, June 2008.

The plastica: The large elastic-plastic deflection of a strut

An extension of the theory of the Elastica is developed to determine the shape of a strut (or a cantilever) which undergoes large plastic deflection. The equations governing such a behaviour and known as the Plastica equations are set up and then solved by a perturbation method and by numerical integration. The post-buckling elastic-plastic deformation of a strut after initial elastic buckling is analysed, and some numerical results are given to show the variation of its load-carrying capacity with the development of the plastic region.     

Analytical solution of velocity distribution for flow through submerged large deflection flexible vegetation

An analytical solution for predicting the vertical distribution of streamwise mean velocity in an open channel flow with submerged flexible vegetation is proposed when large bending occurs. The flow regime is separated into two horizontal layers: a vegetation layer and a free water layer. In the vegetation layer, a mechanical analysis for the flexible vegetation is conducted, and an approximately linear relationship between the drag force of bending vegetation and the streamwise mean flow velocity is observed in the case of large deflection, which differes significantly from the case of rigid upright vegetation. Based on the theoretical analysis, a linear streamwise drag force-mean flow velocity expression in the momentum equation is derived, and an analytical solution is obtained. For the free water layer, a new expression is presented, replacing the traditional logarithmic velocity distribution, to obtain a zero velocity gradient at the water surface. Finally, the analytical predictions are compared with published experimental data, and the good agreement demonstrates that this model is effective for the open channel flow through the large deflection flexible vegetation.     

Bending of functionally graded cantilever beam with power-law non-linearity subjected to an end force

A realistic beam structure often exhibits material and geometrical non-linearity, in particular for those made of metals. The mechanical behaviors of a non-linear functionally graded-material (FGM) cantilever beam subjected to an end force are investigated by using large and small deformation theories. Young's modulus is assumed to be depth-dependent. For an FGM beam of power-law hardening, the location of the neutral axis is determined. The effects of depth-dependent Young's modulus and non-linearity parameter on the deflections and rotations of the FGM beams are analyzed. Our results show that different gradient indexes may change the bending stiffness of the beam so that an FGM beam may bear larger applied load than a homogeneous beam when choosing appropriate gradients. Moreover, the bending stress distribution in an FGM beam is completely different from that in a homogeneous beam. The bending stress arrives at the maximum tensile stress at an internal position rather than at the surface. Obtained results are useful in safety design of linear and non-linear beams.     

A nonlinear mathematical model for large deflection of incompressible saturated poroelastic beams

Nonlinear governing equations are established for large deflection of incom- pressible fluid saturated poroelastic beams under constraint that diffusion of the pore fluid is only in the axial direction of the deformed beams.Then,the nonlinear bend- ing of a saturated poroelastic cantilever beam with fixed end impermeable and free end permeable,subjected to a suddenly applied constant concentrated transverse load at its free end,is examined with the Gaierkin truncation method.The curves of deflections and bending moments of the beam skeleton and the equivalent couples of the pore fluid pressure are shown in figures.The results of the large deflection and the small deflection theories of the cantilever poroelastic beam are compared,and the differences between them are revealed.It is shown that the results of the large deflection theory are less than those of the corresponding small deflection theory,and the times needed to approach its stationary states for the large deflection theory are much less than those of the small deflection theory.

Quasi-static response of linear viscoelastic cantilever beams subject to a concentrated harmonic end load

This study evaluates the response of a uniform cantilever beam with a symmetric cross-section fixed at one end, and submitted to a lateral concentrated sinusoidal load at the free extremity. The beam material is assumed to be homogeneous, isotropic and linear viscoelastic. Due to the nature of the loading and the beam slenderness, large displacements are developed but the strains are considered small. Consequently, the mathematical formulation only involves geometrical non-linearity. It is also assumed that the beam is inextensible (neutral axis length is constant) and that inertial forces are negligible, i.e., dynamic effects are insignificant and the system can thus be modeled quasi-statically. The beam is therefore subject to oscillations caused by the sinusoidal time-dependent load, leading to a transient response until the material stabilizes and the system exhibits a periodic response, which can be conveniently described in the frequency domain. The time domain solution of this problem is elaborated by considering the quasi-static response for each time interval. The mathematical equations are presented in dimensional and dimensionless forms, and for the latter case, a numerical solution is generated and several case studies are presented. The problem is governed by a set of non-linear ordinary differential equations encompassing functions of space and time that relate the curvature, rotation angle, bending moment and geometrical coordinates. In this study, an elegant solution is deduced using perturbation theory, yielding a precise steady-state solution in the frequency domain with considerable computational economy. The solutions for both time and frequency domain methods are developed and compared using a case study for a series of dimensionless parameters that influence the response of the system.
