In the present study, Multi-objective optimization of composite cylindrical shell under external hydrostatic pressure was investigated. Parameters of mass, cost and buckling pressure as fitness functions and failure criteria as optimization criterion were considered. The objective function of buckling has been used by performing the analytical energy equations and Tsai-Wu and Hashin failure criteria have been considered. Multi-objective optimization was performed by improving the evolutionary algorithm of NSGA-II. Also the kind of material, quantity of layers and fiber orientations have been considered as design variables. After optimizing, Pareto front and corresponding points to Pareto front are presented. Trade of points which have optimized mass and cost were selected by determining the specified pressure as design criteria. Finally, an optimized model of composite cylindrical shell with the optimum pattern of fiber orientations having appropriate cost and mass is presented which can tolerate the maximum external hydrostatic pressure.
相似文献In this paper, static analysis of laminated composite plates and shells bonded with macro-fiber composite (MFC) actuators under thermo-electro-mechanical loads is considered. Most earlier studies in the literature focused on the effects of MFC actuation power and fiber orientations on shape deformation of composite plates/shells subjected to electrical voltage only. Also most of the earlier studies on MFC-\(\hbox {d}_{33}\) bonded smart structures in literature are performed by commercial softwares like Ansys or Abaqus using the thermal strain equivalent approach to model the piezomechanical coupling. Here, our earlier developed geometrically nonlinear plate and shell finite elements considering finite rotation theory are extended for MFC actuator-bonded composite structures taking into account additionally the response to temperature gradients. An improved Reissner–Mindlin hypothesis is considered to derive the variational formulation, in which a parabolic assumption of transverse shear strains across the thickness is assumed. MFC actuators dominated by the \(\hbox {d}_{33}\) effect (MFC-\(\hbox {d}_{33}\)) with arbitrary fiber orientations are considered. The numerical model is validated with composite beams and plates by comparing the results of simulations with experimental investigations existing in the literature. An angle-ply composite shell structure is studied in detail concerning geometrically nonlinear analysis of bending and twisting deformations under different MFC-\(\hbox {d}_{33}\) fiber orientations under electric loading. Shape control of thermally induced deformations of composite plates and shells is performed using bonded MFC-\(\hbox {d}_{33}\) actuators and the significance of the present geometrically nonlinear model is highlighted.
相似文献Motivated by progressive sandwich structures’ usage due to their high strength to weight ratio in different industries, the current paper aimed at evaluating static and dynamic behaviors of three-layered cylinders including FG porous core and two graphene nanoplatelet (GPLs)-reinforced composite as face sheets. The whole sandwich cylinder rests on Pasternak substrate and it is also exposed to a longitudinal magnetic field. Epoxy has used as matrix and GPLs as the reinforcing phases for top and bottom face sheets and based on the rule of mixture and Halpin–Tsai micromechanical models, effective values for mechanical properties of skins are gained. Besides, regarding the integrity of current research, all layers of model are assumed to be FG, which means for the porous core the placement of the pores is considered and for the faces, the GPLs dispersion patterns are regarded. Among different shell theories, sinusoidal shear deformation shells theory (SSDST) is utilized to define displacement components along with the major axes. Hamilton’s principle is hired to attain governing equations for vibrational and buckling analyses. In the end, the effects of different variables’ alternation as the model’s geometry, foundation moduli, mode number, and mid-radius on vibrational and buckling behaviors are interpreted in type of different plots and tables. Pores’ placement and GPLs dispersion patterns play important roles in static and dynamic responses of the under-consideration cylinder. The outcomes of this study may help to create more efficient engineering structures such as pressure vessels.
相似文献The present work fills a gap on the postbuckling behavior of multilayer functionally graded graphene platelet reinforced composite (FG-GPLRC) cylindrical and spherical shell panels resting on elastic foundations subjected to central pinching forces and pressure loadings. Based on a higher-order shear deformation theory and the von Kármán’s nonlinear strain–displacement relations, the governing equations of the FG-GPLRC cylindrical and spherical shell panels are established by the principle of virtual work. The non-uniform rational B-spline (NURBS) based isogeometric analysis (IGA), the modified arc-length method and the Newton’s iteration method are employed synthetically to obtain nonlinear load–deflection curves for the panels numerically. Several comparative examples are performed to test reliability and accuracy of IGA and arc-length method in present formulation and programming implementation. Parametric investigations are carried out to illustrate the effects of dispersion type of the graphene platelet (GPL), weight fraction of the GPL, thickness of the panel, radius of the panel and parameters of elastic foundation on the load–deflection curves of the FG-GPLRC shell panels. Some complex load–deflection curves of the FG-GPLRC cylindrical and spherical shell panels resting on elastic foundations may be useful for future references.
相似文献Wave propagation simulation in a multi-hybrid nanocomposite (MHC)-reinforced doubly curved open shell covered with piezoelectric actuator is examined for the first time. The third-order shear deformation theory (third-order SDT) is applied to formulate the stress–strain relations. Rule of the mixture and modified Halpin–Tsai model are engaged to provide the effective material constants of the MHC-reinforced open shell. By employing Hamilton’s principle, the governing equations of the structure are derived. Via the compatibility rule, the bonding between the smart layer and sandwich open shell is modeled. Also, with the aid of Maxwell's equation, the mechanics of the piezoelectric layer are formulated. Afterward, a parametric study is carried out to investigate the effects of the CNTs’ weight fraction, various FG face sheet patterns, small radius to total thickness ratio, the thickness of the smart layer, externally applied voltage, and carbon fiber angle on the phase velocity of the MHC-reinforced open shell. Another necessary consequence is that as the externally applied voltage to the piezoelectric layer of the smart open shell increases, there will be seen an enhancement on the phase velocity or wave response of the system and without a doubt this issue is much more substantial at the lower wave number. It is also observed that when the applied voltage is more than zero, we can find a range for the fiber angle that these values are the critical fiber angle and this critical range will expand by increasing the external electrical load. The useful suggestion of this study is that for designing the structure, we should attention to the FG pattern and higher value of the wavenumber, simultaneously. The presented study outputs can be used in ultrasonic inspection techniques and structural health monitoring.
相似文献In this paper, an analytical method is used to study the nonlinear primary resonance of imperfect spiral stiffened functionally graded (SSFG) cylindrical shells with internal stiffeners. The SSFG cylindrical shell is surrounded by linear and nonlinear elastic foundation and the effect of structural damping on the system response is also considered. The material properties of the shell and stiffeners are assumed to be continuously graded in the thickness direction. Three-parameter nonlinear elastic foundation model is consists of two-parameter linear elastic foundation (Winkler and Pasternak) and one hardening/softening cubic nonlinearity parameter. Based on the von Kármán nonlinear equations and the classical plate theory of shells, the strain–displacement relations are derived. The smeared stiffener technique is used to the model of the internal stiffeners. Using the Galerkin method, the partial differential equations of motion are discretized. The nonlinear primary resonance is analyzed by means of the multiple scales method. The effects of various geometrical characteristics, material parameters and elastic foundation coefficients are investigated on the nonlinear primary resonance.
相似文献This study investigates the effects of fluid–structure and soil–structure interaction on the free vibration response of functionally graded sandwich plates. To this aim, an exemplary problem is analyzed, whereas a metal/ceramic sandwich plate is placed at the bottom of a tank filled in with fluid. Two cases are considered: (i) soft core, i.e., a sandwich plate with metal core and ceramic skins, and (ii) hard core, i.e., a sandwich plate with ceramic core and metal skins. In both cases, the skins are modelled as suitable functionally graded materials (FGMs). The soil is modelled as a Pasternak foundation. The free vibration analysis is carried out according to the extended higher order sandwich plate theory (EHSAPT). The fluid is assumed to be inviscid, incompressible, and irrotational. Hamilton’s principle is exploited to deduce the governing equations and the corresponding boundary conditions. The Rayleigh–Ritz method with two-variable orthogonal polynomials is used to compute the natural frequencies of the sandwich plate. The adopted approach is first validated through comparison with results published in the literature. Then, the effects are studied of several parameters on the dynamic response of the system.
相似文献In this article, thermal buckling and frequency analysis of a size-dependent laminated composite cylindrical nanoshell in thermal environment using nonlocal strain–stress gradient theory are presented. The thermodynamic equations of the laminated cylindrical nanoshell are based on first-order shear deformation theory, and generalized differential quadrature element method is implemented to solve these equations and obtain natural frequency and critical temperature of the presented model. The results show that by considering C–F boundary conditions and every even layers’ number, in lower value of length scale parameter, by increasing the length scale parameter, the frequency of the structure decreases but in higher value of length scale parameter this matter is inverse. Finally, influences of temperature difference, ply angle, length scale and nonlocal parameters on the critical temperature and frequency of the laminated composite nanostructure are investigated.
相似文献Fractional calculus is a branch of mathematical analysis that studies the differential operators of an arbitrary (real or complex) order and provides a new approach to non-local mechanics. In this study, a theoretical consideration on a new fractional non-local model is presented based on existence of fractional strain energy. It has two additional free parameters compared to classical local mechanics: (1) a fractional parameter which controls the strain gradient order in the strain energy relation and makes the model more flexible to describe physical phenomena, and (2) a non-local parameter to consider small scale effects in micron and sub-micron scales. The model has been used to obtain a fractional non-local plate theory. Free vibrations of a rectangular simply supported (S–S–S–S) plate has been investigated and the meaning of different parameters, such as fractional and non-local parameters, has been shown. The non-linear governing equation has been solved by the Galerkin method. A simple form of the governing equation and the numerical solution is an advantage of this fractional non-local model. Furthermore, the fractional nonlocal theory is contrasted with the Eringen nonlocal theory to show that fractional one enables to obtain much wider class of solutions.
相似文献In this paper, the low velocity impact analysis of carbon nanotube (CNT)/carbon fiber (CF)-reinforced hybrid nanocomposite plates is presented using variational differential quadrature (VDQ) method due to its numerical essence and the framework of implementation. The hybrid nanocomposite plate deformation is formulated based on classical plate theory and the contact force between the plate and projectile is estimated using Hertzian contact law. Also, a new micromechanics approach is presented to calculate the effective mechanical properties of the CNT/CF polymer hybrid nanocomposites. Five important factors including, random orientation and random distribution of CNTs, CNT/polymer interphase region, waviness and transversely isotropic behavior of CNT are incorporated in the micromechanical analysis. The accuracy of the present approach is verified with the available open literature results showing a clear agreement. The effects of various factors such as volume fraction and non-straight shape of CNT, CNT/polymer interphase region, CF volume fraction, random and regular arrangement of CFs, plate geometrical parameters and impactor velocity on the low velocity impact behavior of the CNT/CF-reinforced hybrid nanocomposite plates are studied.
相似文献In the present study, a size-dependent shell model is developed which can afford to describe the nonlinear torsional buckling and postbuckling characteristics of cylindrical nanoshells in the presence of surface stress effects. To accomplish this purpose, the Gurtin–Murdoch theory of elasticity together with the von Karman geometric nonlinearity is implemented into the first-order shear deformation shell theory. A linear variation through the thickness is considered for the normal stress component of the bulk to satisfy the balance conditions on the free surfaces of the nanoshell. By means of the virtual work principle, the non-classical governing differential equations are constructed in which the transverse displacement and Airy stress function are considered as independent variables. Thereafter, a boundary layer theory is employed including the effect of surface stress in conjunction with the nonlinear prebuckling deformations and the large postbuckling deflections. Subsequently, an efficient solution methodology based on an improved perturbation technique is put to use to obtain the size-dependent critical torsional buckling loads and the associated postbuckling equilibrium paths. It is observed that the torsional load exhibits a significant increase after reaching the minimum postbuckling load. Also, it is revealed that the effect of surface stress becomes negligible at high values of the deflection.
相似文献In this paper, size-dependent dynamic stability of axially loaded functionally graded (FG) composite truncated conical microshells with magnetostrictive facesheets surrounded by nonlinear viscoelastic foundations including a two-parameter Winkler–Pasternak medium augmented via a Kelvin–Voigt viscoelastic approach is analyzed considering nonlinear cubic stiffness. To this purpose, von Karman-type kinematic nonlinearity along with modified couple stress theory of elasticity was applied to third-order shear deformation conical shell theory in the presence of magnetic permeability tensor and magnetic fluxes. The numerical technique of generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) was used for the solution of microstructural-dependent dynamic stability responses of FG composite truncated conical microshells. It was seen that moving from prebuckling to postbuckling domain somehow increased the significance of couple stress type of size dependency on frequency. In addition, within both prebuckling and postbuckling regimes, an increase of material gradient index decreased the importance of couple stress type of size dependency on the frequency of an axially loaded FG composite truncated conical microshell. Furthermore, it was revealed that by applying a positive magnetic field to an axially loaded truncated conical microshell with magnetostrictive facesheets, its frequency at a specific axial load value was increased in prebuckling domain and decreased in postbuckling domain. However, this pattern was reversed by applying a negative magnetic field.
