Stress analysis of thick orthotropic cantilever tubes under transverse loading

In this work, a new high-order displacement-based method is proposed to investigate stresses and strains in thick arbitrary laminated orthotropic cantilever straight tubes under transverse loading. The most general displacement field of elasticity for an arbitrary thick laminated orthotropic straight tube is developed. A layer-wise method is employed to analytically determine the local displacement functions and stresses under transverse loading. The accuracy of the proposed method is subsequently verified by comparing the theoretical results with experimental data, finite-element method (FEM), and Lekhnitskii solution. The results show good agreement. In addition, high efficiency in terms of computational time is shown when the proposed method is used as compared with FEM. Finally, several numerical examples for stress and strain distributions in various thick cantilever composite straight tubes subjected to transverse loading are discussed.     

Influence of rotation on vibration characteristics of thick composite disks

Abstract

Thick composite disks are utilized in fast-rotating machines, including turbine disks and flywheels. Dynamic equations of motion for a rotating composite disk have been formulated in a polar coordinate system using Hamilton’s principle, and numerical analysis has been performed by finite element interpolation. The natural frequencies of isotropic and laminated composite disks have been obtained when the rotational speed changes. The effects of transverse shear and rotary inertia on the vibration characteristics of rotating disks have also been investigated.     

Interlaminar stress analysis in general thick composite cylinder subjected to nonuniform distributed radial pressure

Interlaminar stresses in thick a composite cylinder with general layer stacking subjected to uniform and nonuniform distributed radial pressure are studied. The layerwise theory of Reddy is employed for formulation of the problem. An analytical method is presented for solving the governing equations. To increase accuracy, interlaminar stresses are obtained by integrating the equilibrium equation of elasticity. After a convergence study, the accuracy of the layerwise laminate theory is investigated using the predictions of finite element method. Predictions of Hooke's law and integration method for interlaminar stresses are compared. Uniform and nonuniform internal and external loads are considered and a parametric study is done for various cylinders.     

An enriched macro finite element for the static analysis of thick general quadrilateral laminated composite plates

This article presents the formulation of an enriched macro finite element based on the trigonometric shear deformation theory for the static analysis of symmetrically laminated composite plates. Shear correction factor is not required because this theory accounts for tangential stress-free boundary conditions on the plate boundary surfaces. The macro element is obtained using the principle of virtual work and Gram-Schmidt orthogonal polynomials as enrichment functions. The implementation of the obtained algorithm is simple and efficient, and allows studying general quadrilateral plates with a single macro element. Several examples are presented to show the capability and applicability of the developed formulation.

具有伪弹性合金内衬的纤维缠绕复合材料压力容器的承载能力很大程度上取决于内衬的伪弹性特性,合理地设计合金的伪弹性范围,可使容器具有最佳的承载能力。根据伪弹性合金的相变理论和复合材料弹性力学,并结合强度理论,给出了具有伪弹性合金内衬的复合材料压力容器的强度分析方法以及承载能力的确定方法。研究结果表明：伪弹性合金内衬改变了复合材料压力容器的受力状态,将铝合金的内衬主宰变成了外壳主宰,使复合材料的功能可以得到更充分地发挥; 同时可以确保内衬工作在线弹性范围内,卸载时也不会发生受压屈曲现象。所以,具有伪弹性合金内衬的复合材料压力容器能够增加极限承载能力,延长内衬的工作寿命。     

Effect of lamina orientation,crack severity,and fillers on dynamic parameters of hybrid composite cantilever beam with double transverse cracks

Modern-day research in composite material development primarily focuses on tailoring combinations by proportions of constituent materials and monitoring the changes in their targeted properties. In line with this trend, a new class of glass fiber reinforced polymer hybrid composite beam of size 600 mm×50 mm×6 mm is fabricated by adding graphene (average particle size:10 μm), and flyash (average particle size: 60 μm). The dynamic behavior of the hybrid beam by introducing two transverse cracks at different positions with varying crack depths is studied by employing analytical, finite-element, and experimental approaches. The dimensionless relative natural frequencies of the cracked/faulty hybrid beam obtained by the proposed methods are compared with the intact hybrid beam. Also, a comparison is made for the hybrid beam with a single crack. An increase in relative crack depth resulted in an increase in values of dimensionless compliances. Further, the effect of fiber orientation and lamina stacking sequence on the dynamic parameters of the hybrid beam are also analyzed. The introduction of the second crack induces higher nonlinearity in bending modes of vibration.
