Nonlinear bending analysis of ring-stiffened circular and annular general angle-ply laminated plates with various boundary conditions

In this study, elastic large deflection analysis of axisymmetric ring-stiffened circular and annular general angle-ply laminated plates subjected to transverse uniform load is studied. Based on first order shear deformation theory (FSDT) and large deflection von-Karman relations, the governing equations are derived. The dynamic relaxation (DR) method in conjunction with the central finite difference discretization technique is used to solve the nonlinear equilibrium equations. A detailed parametric study is carried out to investigate the influences of plate thicknesses, stiffener width, stiffener depth, fiber orientation, stacking sequence and different types of boundary conditions. Also, some linear and nonlinear analysis is provided to consider the effect of nonlinearity on the results.     

An analytical solution for buckling of moderately thick functionally graded sector and annular sector plates

In this article, an analytical solution for buckling of moderately thick functionally graded (FG) sectorial plates is presented. It is assumed that the material properties of the FG plate vary through the thickness of the plate as a power function. The stability equations are derived according to the Mindlin plate theory. By introducing four new functions, the stability equations are decoupled. The decoupled stability equations are solved analytically for both sector and annular sector plates with two simply supported radial edges. Satisfying the edges conditions along the circular edges of the plate, an eigenvalue problem for finding the critical buckling load is obtained. Solving the eigenvalue problem, the numerical results for the critical buckling load and mode shapes are obtained for both sector and annular sector plates. Finally, the effects of boundary conditions, volume fraction, inner to outer radius ratio (annularity) and plate thickness are studied. The results for critical buckling load of functionally graded sectorial plates are reported for the first time and can be used as benchmark.     

Elastic buckling of rectangular plates under linearly varying in-plane normal load with a circular cutout

The elastic buckling behavior of rectangular perforated plates was studied by using the finite element method in this study. Circular cutout was chosen at different locations along the principal x-axis of plates subjected to linearly varying loading in order to evaluate the effect of cutout location on the buckling behavior of plates. The results show that the center of a circular hole should not be placed at the end half of the outer panel for all loading patterns. Furthermore, the presence of a circular hole always causes a decrease in the elastic buckling load of plates subjected to bending, even if the circular hole is not in the outer panel.

AXISYMMETRIC BENDING OF TWO-DIRECTIONAL FUNCTIONALLY GRADED CIRCULAR AND ANNULAR PLATES

Assuming the material properties varying with an exponential law both in the thick- ness and radial directions,axisymmetric bending of two-directional functionally graded circular and annular plates is studied using the semi-analytical numerical method in this paper.The de- flections and stresses of the plates are presented.Numerical results show the well accuracy and convergence of the method.Compared with the finite element method,the semi-analytical nu- merical method is with great advantage in the computational efficiency.Moreover,study on ax- isymmetric bending of two-directional functionally graded annular plate shows that such plates have better performance than those made of isotropic homogeneous materials or one-directional functionally graded materials.Two-directional functionally graded material is a potential alter- native to the one-directional functionally graded material.And the integrated design of materials and structures can really be achieved in two-directional functionally graded materials.

Semi-analytical buckling analysis of heterogeneous variable thickness viscoelastic circular plates on elastic foundations

Buckling analysis of the functionally graded viscoelastic circular plates has not been carried out so far. In the present paper, a series solution is developed for buckling analysis of radially graded FG viscoelastic circular plates with variable thickness resting on two-parameter elastic foundations, based on Mindlin's plate theory. The complex modulus approach in combination with the elastic-viscoelastic correspondence principle is employed to obtain the solution for various edge conditions. A comprehensive sensitivity analysis is carried out to evaluate effects of various parameters on the buckling load. Results reveal that the viscoelastic behavior of the materials may postpone the buckling occurrence and the stiffness reduction due to the section variations may be compensated by the graded material properties.

Three-dimensional vibration analysis of circular and annular plates via the Chebyshev–Ritz method

A three-dimensional free vibration analysis of circular and annular plates is presented via the Chebyshev–Ritz method. The solution procedure is based on the linear, small strain, three-dimensional elasticity theory. Selecting Chebyshev polynomials which can be expressed in terms of cosine functions as the admissible functions, a convenient governing eigenvalue equation can be derived through the Ritz method. According to the geometric properties of circular and annular plates, the vibration is divided into three distinct categories: axisymmetric vibration, torsional vibration and circumferential vibration. Each vibration category can be further subdivided into the antisymmetric and symmetric ones in the thickness direction. Convergence and comparison study demonstrated the high accuracy and efficiency of the present method. The present approach shows a distinct advantage over some other Ritz solutions in that stable numerical operation can be guaranteed even when a large number of admissible functions is employed. Therefore, not only lower-order but also higher-order eigenfrequencies can be obtained by using sufficient terms of the Chebyshev polynomials. Finally, some valuable results for annular plates with one or both edges clamped are given and discussed in detail.     

Thermal buckling and postbuckling of FGM circular plates with in-plane elastic restraints

Based on von Karman's plate theory, the axisymmetric thermal buckling and post-buckling of the functionally graded material(FGM) circular plates with inplane elastic restraints under transversely non-uniform temperature rise are studied. The properties of the FGM media are varied through the thickness based on a simple power law. The governing equations are numerically solved by a shooting method. The results of the critical buckling temperature, post-buckling equilibrium paths, and configurations for the in-plane elastically restrained plates are presented. The effects of the in-plane elastic restraints, material property gradient, and temperature variation on the responses of thermal buckling and post-buckling are examined in detail.     

Frequency equations for the in-plane vibration of orthotropic circular annular plate

Orthotropic circular annular plates have a lot of applications in engineering such as space structures and rotary machines. In this paper, frequency equations for the in-plane vibration of the orthotropic circular annular plate for general boundary conditions were derived. To obtain the frequency equation, first the equation of motion for the circular annular plate in the cylindrical coordinate is derived by using the stress-strain- displacement expressions. Helmholtz decomposition is used to uncouple the equations of motion. The wave equation is obtained by assumption a harmonic solution for the uncoupled equations. Using the separation of the variables leads to the general wave equation solution and the in-plane displacements in the r and θ directions. Finally, boundary conditions are exerted and the natural frequency is derived for general boundary conditions. The obtained results are validated by comparing with the previously reported and those from finite element analysis.

Elastic instability of a uniformly compressed annular plate with axisymmetric initial deflection

This paper presents a theoretical study of the elastic instability of a uniformly compressed, thin, circular annular plate with axisymmetric initial deflection. The dynamic version of the nonlinear Marguerre plate theory is used, and the linear free vibration problems around the axisymmetric finite deformation of the plate are solved by a finite difference method. By examining the frequency spectrum with various asymmetric modes, the critical compressive load under which the axisymmetric additional deformation of the plate becomes unstable due to the bifurcation buckling is determined, which is found to depend severely on the magnitude of the axisymmetric initial deflection.

Axisymmetric buckling of certain annular composite plates

Axisymmetric buckling of polar-orthotropic quasi-heterogeneous laminated annular plates are studied. A closed type solution is obtained for the case of two particular ratios of inner and outer pressures in terms of first and second kind Bessel functions of fractional order and Lommel functions. Two ratios of pressures are chosen in such a way as to represent a solution of the second order differentia] equation for the stress resultant function when only one of the fundamental solutions is left. The general procedure presented herein is valid for symmetrically laminated plates as well as for plates composed of materials with proportional properties. Numerous examples are shown indicating the effect of plates' heterogeneity on their elastic stability.     

Axisymmetric deformation of plates and shells with phase trasformations under thermal cycling

A mathematical formulation is given of nonlinear axisymmetric buckling problems for plates and shells in the two-phase zones of austenite-to-martensite transformation. Numerical solutions of the direct-and inverse-transformation problems are used to construct hysteresis loops for thermomechanically cycled, pressure-loaded circular plates and shallow spherical domes of titanium nickelide (NiTi) alloy. It is shown that dynamic instability of the dome deformation process can occur during transformation under loads notably lower than the upper critical values for the isothermal states of the material outside the transformation zone. A theoretical analysis gives external loads below which the dome remains stable in the thermally cycled material with phase transformations. __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika i Tekhnicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 49, No. 2, pp. 204–210, March–April, 2008.
