Eigenfunction expansion method and its application to two-dimensional elasticity problems based on stress formulation

This paper proposes an eigenfunction expansion method to solve twodimensional （2D） elasticity problems based on stress formulation. By introducing appropriate state functions, the fundamental system of partial differential equations of the above 2D problems is rewritten as an upper triangular differential system. For the associated operator matrix, the existence and the completeness of two normed orthogonal eigenfunction systems in some space are obtained, which belong to the two block operators arising in the operator matrix. Moreover, the general solution to the above 2D problem is given by the eigenfunction expansion method.

This paper studies the eigenfunction expansion method to solve the two-dimensional(2D) elasticity problems based on the stress formulation.The fundamentalsystem of partial differential equations of the 2D problems is rewritten as an upper tri-angular differential system based on the known results,and then the associated uppertriangular operator matrix matrix is obtained.By further research,the two simpler com-plete orthogonal systems of eigenfunctions in some space are obtained,which belong tothe two block operators arising in the operator matrix.Then,a more simple and conve-nient general solution to the 2D problem is given by the eigenfunction expansion method.Furthermore,the boundary conditions for the 2D problem,which can be solved by thismethod,are indicated.Finally,the validity of the obtained results is verified by a specificexample.

THEORETIC SOLUTION OF RECTANGULAR THIN PLATE ON FOUNDATION WITH FOUR EDGES FREE BY SYMPLECTIC GEOMETRY METHOD

The theoretic solution for rectangular thin plate on foundation with four edges free is derived by symplectic geometry method. In the analysis proceeding, the elastic foundation is presented by the Winkler model. Firstly, the basic equations for elastic thin plate are transferred into Hamilton canonical equations. The symplectic geometry method is used to separate the whole variables and eigenvalues are obtained simultaneously. Finally, according to the method of eigen function expansion, the explicit solution for rectangular thin plate on foundation with the boundary conditions of four edges frees are developed. Since the basic elasticity equations of thin plate are only used and it is not need to select the deformation function arbitrarily. Therefore, the solution is theoretical and reasonable. In order to show the correction of formulations derived, a numerical example is given to demonstrate the accuracy and convergence of the current solution.     

Non-local free and forced vibrations of graded nanobeams resting on a non-linear elastic foundation

We consider in this paper the free and forced vibration response of simply-supported functionally graded (FG) nanobeams resting on a non-linear elastic foundation. The two-constituent Functionally Graded Material (FGM) is assumed to follow a power-law distribution through the beam thickness. Eringen׳s non-local elasticity model with material length scales is used in conjunction with the Euler–Bernoulli beam theory with von Kármán geometric non-linearity that accounts for moderate rotations. Non-linear natural frequencies of non-local FG nanobeams are obtained using He׳s Variational Iteration Method (VIM) and the direct and discretized Method of Multiple Scales (MMS), while the primary resonance analysis of an externally forced non-local FG nanobeam is performed only using the MMS. The effects of the non-local parameter, power-law index, and the parameters of the non-linear elastic foundation on the non-linear frequency-response are investigated.     

Mixed finite element and differential quadrature method for free and forced vibration and buckling analysis of rectangular plates

This paper presents a combined application of the finite element method (FEM) and the differential quadrature method (DQM) to vibration and buckling problems of rectangular plates. The proposed scheme combines the geometry flexibility of the FEM and the high accuracy and efficiency of the DQM. The accuracy of the present method is demonstrated by comparing the obtained results with those available in the literature. It is shown that highly accurate results can be obtained by using a small number of finite elements and DQM sample points. The proposed method is suitable for the problems considered due to its simplicity and potential for further development.     

Boundary element method for moving and rolling contact of 2D elastic bodies with defects

A scheme of boundary element method for moving contact of two-dimensional elastic bodies using conforming discretization is presented. Both the displacement and the traction boundary conditions are satisfied on the contacting region in the sense of discretization. An algorithm to deal with the moving of the contact boundary on a larger possible contact region is presented. The algorithm is generalized to rolling contact problem as well. Some numerical examples of moving and rolling contact of 2D elastic bodies with or without friction, including the bodies with a hole-type defect, are given to show the effectiveness and the accuracy of the presented schemes.

角点支承矩形薄板的屈曲问题是板壳力学的一类重要课题，控制方程和边界条件的复杂性导致寻求该类问题的解析解十分困难。虽然各类近似/数值方法可用于解决此类难题，但作为基准的精确解析解在公开文献中鲜有报道。本文基于近年来提出的辛叠加方法，解析求解了四角点支承四边自由矩形薄板的屈曲问题。首先将问题拆分为两个子问题，接着利用分离变量与辛本征展开推导出子问题的解析解，最后通过叠加获得原问题的解。由于求解过程从基本控制方程出发，逐步严格推导，无需假定解的形式，因此本文解法是一种理性的解析方法。数值算例给出了不同长宽比和不同面内载荷比情况下，四角点支承四边自由矩形薄板的屈曲载荷和典型屈曲模态，并经有限元方法验证，确认了解析解的正确性。     

The solution of rectangular plates with large deflection by spline functions

In this paper, Von Karman ’s set of nonlinear equations for rectangular plates with large deflection is divided into several sets of linear equations by perturbation method, the dimensionless center deflection being taken as a perturbation parameter. These sets of linear equations are solved by the spline finite-point (SFP) method and by the spline finite element (SFE) method. The solutions for rectangular plates having any length-to-width ratios under a uniformly distributed load and with various boundary conditions are presented, and the analytical formulas for displacements and deflections are given in the paper. The computer programs are worked out by ourselves. Comparison of the results with those in other papers indicates that the results of this paper are satisfactorily better.     

Differential quadrature method for bending of orthotropic plates with finite deformation and transverse shear effects

Based on the Reddy ‘s theory of plates with the effect of higher-order shear deformations, the governing equations for bending of orthotropic plates with finite deformations were established. The differential quadrature ( DQ ) method of nonlinear analysis to the problem was presented. New DQ approach, presented by Wang and Bert ( DQWB), is extended to handle the multiple boundary conditions of plates. The techniques were also further extended to simplify nonlinear computations. The numerical convergence and comparison of solutions were studied. The results show that the DQ method presented is very reliable and valid. Moreover, the influences of geometric and material parameters as well as the transverse shear deformations on nonlinear bending were investigated. Numerical results show the influence of the shear deformation on the static bending of orthotropic moderately thick plate is significant.
