Mathematical model of micropolar elastic thin plates and their strength and stiffness characteristics

A number of hypotheses were formulated using the properties of an asymptotic solution of boundary-value problems of the three-dimensional micropolar (moment asymmetric) theory of elasticity for areas with one geometrical parameter being substantially smaller than the other two (plates and shells). A general theory of bending deformation of micropolar elastic thin plates with independent fields of displacements and rotations is constructed. In the constructed model of a micropolar elastic plate, transverse shear strains are fully taken into account. A problem of determining the stress-strain state in bending deformation of micropolar elastic thin rectangular plates is considered. The numerical analysis reveals that plates made of a micropolar elastic material have high strength and stiffness characteristics.     

Elastoplastic Bending of Plates Resting on Elastic Subgrade under Rotational Symmetry Conditions*

An analysis of rotationally symmetric plates resting on an elastic subgrade is presented. The plates are made of an elastic, perfectly plastic material that obeys Johansen's yield condition and associated flow rule. The analysis is simplified by assuming that any plate element is either entirely elastic or entirely plastic. This assumption is practically fulfilled for a sandwich plate. Differential equations that describe the behavior of plastic zones during the deformation process are derived and solved in closed form. Examples of solutions for uniformly loaded circular plates are given.

The buckling and postbuckling problems of elastic rectangular plates, including the effect of transverse shear deformation, are solved and discussed, by using perturbation method suggested in ref.

Measurement of curved-surface deformation in cylindrical coordinates

Stereo vision is used to measure the strain field of a round tension test specimen in a cylindrical coordinate system. Initially, the displacement fields of the specimen are measured relative to a world coordinate system erected by the stereo vision. Through coordinate transformations, the measured displacement fields expressed in world coordinates are then converted to the displacement fields expressed in cylindrical coordinates. By differentiating the axial and circumferential displacements in the axial and circumferential directions, the axial, circumferential and shear strains are determined. Results indicate that the measured mean value of the axial strains is in good agreement with the measurements of the extensometer and the strain gage. The Poisson's ratio obtained by the circumferential and axial strains is close to .33 in the elastic state. The mean error of the computed shear strain is approximately .03 percent in the smaller elastic deformation and .08 percent in the larger plastic deformation.

BENDING RESPONSES OF AN EXPONENTIALLY GRADED SIMPLY-SUPPORTED ELASTIC/VISCOELASTIC/ELASTIC SANDWICH PLATE

The bending response for exponentially graded composite (EGC) sandwich plates is investigated.The three-layer elastic/viscoelastic/elastic sandwich plate is studied by using the sinusoidal shear deformation plate theory as well as other familiar theories.Four types of sandwich plates are considered taking into account the symmetry of the plate and the thickness of each layer.The effective moduli and Illyushin’s approximation methods are used to solve the equations governing the bending of simply-supported EGC fiber-reinforced viscoelastic sandwich plates.Then numerical results for deflections and stresses are presented and the effects due to time parameter,aspect ratio,side-to-thickness ratio and constitutive parameter are investigated.     

Mechanical buckling and free vibration of thick functionally graded plates resting on elastic foundation using the higher order B-spline finite strip method

In this study, the mechanical buckling and free vibration of thick rectangular plates made of functionally graded materials (FGMs) resting on elastic foundation subjected to in-plane loading is considered. The third order shear deformation theory (TSDT) is employed to derive the governing equations. It is assumed that the material properties of FGM plates vary smoothly by distribution of power law across the plate thickness. The elastic foundation is modeled by the Winkler and two-parameter Pasternak type of elastic foundation. Based on the spline finite strip method, the fundamental equations for functionally graded plates are obtained by discretizing the plate into some finite strips. The results are achieved by the minimization of the total potential energy and solving the corresponding eigenvalue problem. The governing equations are solved for FGM plates buckling analysis and free vibration, separately. In addition, numerical results for FGM plates with different boundary conditions have been verified by comparing to the analytical solutions in the literature. Furthermore, the effects of different values of the foundation stiffness parameters on the response of the FGM plates are determined and discussed.     

Wrinkling of elastoplastic circular plates during stamping

Circular plates that are stamped into a shallow, biaxially curved die by a matching punch develop radial wrinkles near the periphery when the edge is not clamped. Thin ductile metal plates develop these wrinkles after some plastic deformation occurs at the center of the plate. In comparison with elastic wrinkling, the center deflection to thickness ratio for wrinkling is increased as a consequence of the plastic deformation. In elastoplastic plates, this critical deflection ratio is a decreasing function of the plate thickness parameter ξ_o

Thermomechanical Postbuckling of Imperfect Moderately Thick Plates on Nonlinear Elastic Foundations*

ABSTRACT

A postbuckling analysis is presented for a moderately thick rectangular plate subjected to combined axial compression and uniform temperature loading, and resting on a softening nonlinear elastic foundation. The cases of (1) thermal postbuckling of initially compressed plates and (2) compressive post-buckling of initially heated plates are considered. The initial geometrical imperfections of the plates are taken into account. Formulations are based on Reissner-Mindlin plate theory, considering first-order shear deformation effects, and including plate-foundation interaction and thermal effects. The analysis uses a deflection-type perturbation technique to determine buckling loads and postbuckling equilibrium paths. Numerical examples include the performance of perfect and imperfect, moderately thick plates resting on softening nonlinear elastic foundations. Typical results are presented in dimensionless graphical form.

Iterative technique for circular thin plates on Gibson elastic foundation using modified Vlasov model

In this paper, to investigate the influence of soil inhomogeneity on the bending of circular thin plates on elastic foundations, the static problem of circular thin plates on Gibson elastic foundation is solved using an iterative method based on the modified Vlasov model. On the basis of the principle of minimum potential energy, the governing differential equations and boundary conditions for circular thin plates on modified Vlasov foundation considering the characteristics of Gibson soil are derived. The equations for the attenuation parameter in bending problem are also obtained, and the issue of unknown parameters being difficult to determine is solved using the iterative method. Numerical examples are analyzed and the results are in good agreement with those form other literatures. It proves that the method is practical and accurate. The inhomogeneity of modified Vlasov foundations has some influence on the deformation and internal force behavior of circular thin plates. The effects of various parameters on the bending of circular plates and characteristic parameters of the foundation are discussed. The modified model further enriches and develops the elastic foundations. Relevant conclusions that are meaningful to engineering practice are drawn.     

On the simple and mixed first-order theories for functionally graded plates resting on elastic foundations

In this article, the bending response of a functionally graded plate resting on elastic foundations and subjected to a transverse mechanical load is investigated. An accurate solution for the functionally graded plate with simply supported edges resting on elastic foundations is presented. The interaction between the plate and the elastic foundations is considered and included in the equilibrium equations. Pasternak’s model is used to describe the two-parameter elastic foundations, and get a special case of Winkler’s model by considering one-parameter of elastic foundation. A relationship between the simple and mixed first-order transverse shear deformation theories is presented. Numerical results for deflections and stresses of functionally graded plates are investigated. Comparisons between the results of the simple and mixed first-order theories are made, and appropriate conclusion is formulated. Additional boundary conditions at the edges of the present plates are investigated.     

Creep buckling and post-buckling analysis of the laminated piezoelectric viscoelastic functionally graded plates

The creep buckling and post-buckling of the laminated piezoelectric viscoelastic functionally graded material (FGM) plates are studied in this research. Considering the transverse shear deformation and geometric nonlinearity, the Von Karman geometric relation of the laminated piezoelectric viscoelastic FGM plates with initial deflection is established. And then nonlinear creep governing equations of the laminated piezoelectric viscoelastic FGM plates subjected to an in-plane compressive load are derived on the basis of the elastic piezoelectric theory and Boltzmann superposition principle. Applying the finite difference method and the Newmark scheme, the whole problem is solved by the iterative method. In numerical examples, the effects of geometric nonlinearity, transverse shear deformation, the applied electric load, the volume fraction and the geometric parameters on the creep buckling and post-buckling of laminated piezoelectric viscoelastic FGM plates with initial deflection are investigated.

Bending of orthotropic plates resting on Pasternak’s foundations using mixed shear deformation theory

The mixed first-order shear deformation plate theory(MFPT) is employed to study the bending response of simply-supported orthotropic plates.The present plate is subjected to a mechanical load and resting on Pasternak’s model or Winkler’s model of elastic foundation or without any elastic foundation.Several examples are presented to verify the accuracy of the present theory.Numerical results for deflection and stresses are presented.The proposed MFPT is shown simplely to implement and capable of giving satisfactory results for shear deformable plates under static loads and resting on two-parameter elastic foundation.The results presented here show that the characteristics of deflection and stresses are significantly influenced by the elastic foundation stiffness,plate aspect ratio and side-to-thickness ratio.     

Reduction of applied electric potential controlling thermoelastic displacement in a piezoelectric actuator

Summary The present paper discusses how to reduce the applied electric potential which controls a distribution of the elastic displacement, when temperature change induces elastic deformation in a piezoelectric-based solid state actuator. The actuator consists of an isotropic structural plate, onto which multiple piezoelectric ceramic plates of crystal class 6mm are perfectly bonded. The analysis of this thermoelastic problem leads to electric potential applied to piezoelectric ceramic plates. Numerical calculations are carried out for an isotropic steel plate, onto which multiple cadmium-selenide plates are perfectly bonded. Finally, it is shown that the maximum applied electric potential in the case of ten cadmium selenide plates can be reduced to 11% of that derived from the previous study of a similar problem of one cadmium selenide plate bonded onto an isotropic steel plate.

Buoyancy-induced deformations in a compressible elastic solid

Given a rectangular slab of a purely elastic material (neo-Hookean) with different temperatures imposed on the lateral surfaces, it is shown, within the context of a linearized theory, that the resulting deformation field is, under suitable boundary conditions, virtually identical to its fluid-mechanical counterpart given by a rectangular trench filled with a Newtonian liquid. A second, more general analogy between problems involving buoyancy induced deformations and the classical theory of thin plates is also presented.
