Influences of elastic foundations and shear deformations on the buckling behavior of functionally graded material truncated conical shells under axial compression

This article presents an investigation on the buckling of functionally graded (FG) truncated conical shells under an axial load resting on elastic foundations within the shear deformation theory (SDT). The governing equations are solved using the Galerkin method, and the closed-form solution of the axial buckling load for FG conical shells on elastic foundations within the SDT is obtained. Various numerical examples are presented and discussed to verify the accuracy of the closed-form solution in predicting dimensionless buckling loads for FG conical shells on the Winkler–Pasternak elastic foundations within the SDT.

This article presents an analytical investigation on the free vibration behavior of rotating functionally graded truncated conical shells reinforced by stringers and rings with the change of spacing between stringers.

Numerical results show effects of stiffener and input parameters on the frequency of shell.     

Evaluation of nonlocal higher order shear deformation models for the vibrational analysis of functionally graded nanostructures

Small scale effects in the functionally graded beam are investigated by using various nonlocal higher-order shear deformation beam theories. The material properties of a beam are supposed to vary according to power law distribution of the volume fraction of the constituents. The nonlocal equilibrium equations are obtained and an exact solution is presented for vibration analysis of functionally graded (FG) nanobeams. The accuracy of the present model is discussed by comparing the results with previous studies and a parametric investigation is presented to study the effects of power law index, small-scale parameter, and aspect ratio on the vibrational behavior of FG nanostructures.     

Thermo-mechanical vibration analysis of sandwich beams with functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced composite face sheets based on a higher-order shear deformation beam theory

This article proposes a higher-order shear deformation beam theory for free vibration analysis of functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced composite sandwich beams in a thermal environment. The temperature-dependent material properties of functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced composite beams are supposed to vary continuously in the thickness direction and are estimated through the rule of mixture. The governing equations and boundary conditions are derived by using Hamilton's principle, and the Navier solution procedure is used to achieve the natural frequencies of the sandwich beam in a thermal environment. A parametric study is led to carry out the effects of carbon nanotube volume fractions, slenderness ratio, and core-to-face sheet thickness ratio on free vibration behavior of sandwich beams with functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced composite face sheets. Numerical results are also presented in order to compare the behavior of sandwich beams including uniformly distributed carbon nanotube-reinforced composite face sheets to those including functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced composite face sheets.

Thermal effect on free vibration of ring-stiffened rotating functionally graded conical shell with clamped ends

An approximate solution is presented to investigate the effects of thermal load on the frequency of ring-stiffened rotating functionally graded conical shell. Material properties and the temperature field are assumed to be graded and varied in the thickness direction. The shell is reinforced by equal interval rings. The equations of motion are derived by the Hamilton's principle. Approximate analytical solutions are assumed to satisfy clamped boundary conditions, and then Fourier decomposition and Galerkin method are applied to achieve relations of frequencies. To validate, the comparisons are made with a number of particular cases in literature and with the FEM solutions.     

The generalized differential quadrature method for frequency analysis of a rotating conical shell with initial pressure

Using the generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) method which is an improved version of the differential quadrature (DQ) method, this paper examines the influence of initial pressure load on the free vibration of a rotating thin truncated circular isotropic conical shell with different boundary conditions. The present governing equations of motion include the influence of initial stress field and the effects of initial hoop tension and also the centrifugal and coriolis accelerations due to rotation. The influence of initial pressure on the frequency characteristics is discussed in detail for various conditions. To validate the present analysis, frequency comparisons are made with those available in published works, and very good agreements are obtained. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Differential quadrature method for nonlocal nonlinear vibration analysis of a boron nitride nanotube using sinusoidal shear deformation theory

This article presents a nonlocal sinusoidal shear deformation beam theory (SDBT) for the nonlinear vibration of single-walled boron nitride nanotubes (SWBNNTs). The surrounding elastic medium is simulated based on nonlinear Pasternak foundation. Based on the nonlocal differential constitutive relations of Eringen, the equations of motion of the SWBNNTs are derived using Hamilton's principle. Differential quadrature method (DQM) for the nonlinear frequency is presented, and the obtained results are compared with those predicted by the nonlocal Timoshenko beam theory (TBT). The effects of nonlocal parameter, vibrational modes, length, and elastic medium on the nonlinear frequency of SWBNNTs are considered.     

Free vibration analysis of functionally graded conical shell panels by a meshless method

A free vibration analysis of metal and ceramic functionally graded conical shell panels is presented using the element-free kp-Ritz method. The first-order shear deformation shell theory is used to account for the transverse shear strains and rotary inertia, and mesh-free kernel particle functions are employed to approximate the two-dimensional displacement fields. The material properties of the conical shell panels are assumed to vary continuously through their thickness in accordance with a power-law distribution of the volume fractions of their constituents. Convergence studies are performed in terms of the number of nodes, and comparisons of the current solutions and those reported in literature are provided to verify the accuracy of the proposed method. Two types of functionally graded conical shell panels, including Al/ZrO₂ and Ti–6Al–4V/aluminum oxide, are chosen in the study, and the effects of the volume fraction, boundary condition, semi-vertex angle, and length-to-thickness ratio on their frequency characteristics are discussed in detail.     

Using the third-order shear deformation theory to examine magnetic-mechanical buckling of a two-dimensional functionally graded cylindrical panel with longitudinal and circumferential stiffeners

In this study, the magnetic-mechanical buckling of a cylindrical panel made of two-dimensional functionally graded materials (2D-FGMs) has been investigated. The panel contains longitudinal and circumferential stiffeners and has been subjected to a uniform magnetic field as well as axial load. Material properties of the cylindrical panel are assumed to vary continuously in radial and thickness directions as a function of the volume fraction of the components. The magnetic field has been exerted radially. Equilibrium and stability equations have been derived using both Hamilton's principle and principle of minimum potential energy based on the third-order shear deformation theory (TSDT). The generalized differential quadrature method (GDQ) has been employed to solve the coupled differential equations. Moreover, the effect of geometry, load, magnitude of the magnetic field, number of stiffeners, and volume fraction coefficient on the critical buckling load has been determined. The results are in good agreement with the previous related works.

Thermal effects on nonlinear vibrations of functionally graded doubly curved shells using higher order shear deformation theory

Geometrically nonlinear vibrations of functionally graded (FG) doubly curved shells subjected to thermal variations and harmonic excitation are investigated via multi-modal energy approach. Two different nonlinear higher-order shear deformation theories are considered and it is assumed that the shell is simply supported with movable edges. Using Lagrange equations of motion, the energy functional is reduced to a system of infinite nonlinear ordinary differential equations with quadratic and cubic nonlinearities which is truncated based on solution convergence. A pseudo-arclength continuation and collocation scheme is employed to obtain numerical solutions for shells subjected to static and harmonic loads. The effects of FGM power law index, thickness ratio and temperature variations on the frequency–amplitude nonlinear response are fully discussed and it is revealed that, for relatively thick and deep shells, the Amabili–Reddy theory which retains all the nonlinear terms in the in-plane displacements gives different and more accurate results.     

An extended element free Galerkin method for fracture analysis of functionally graded materials

An extended element free Galerkin method (XEFGM) has been adopted for fracture analysis of functionally graded materials (FGMs). Orthotropic enrichments functions are used along with the sub-triangle technique for enhancing the Gauss quadrature accuracy near the crack, and the incompatible interaction integral method is employed to calculate the stress intensity factors. Numerical simulations have proved that XEFGM provides more accurate results by less number of nodes (DOFs) in comparison with the unenriched EFGM and other conventional methods for several FGM problems with different crack locations and loadings. The results have been compared with the reference results, showing the reliability, stability, and efficiency of present XEFGM.

Free vibration analysis of moderately thick functionally graded plates by local Kriging meshless method

This paper mainly Presents free vibration analyses of metal and ceramic functionally graded plates with the local Kriging meshless method. The Kriging technique is employed to construct shape functions which possess Kronecker delta function property and thus make it easy to implement essential boundary conditions. The eigenvalue equations of free vibration problems are based on the first-order shear deformation theory and the local Petrov–Galerkin formulation. The cubic spline function is used as the weight function which vanishes on internal boundaries of local quadrature domains and hence simplifies the implementation. Convergence studies are conducted to examine the stability of the present method. Three types of functionally graded plates – square, skew and quadrilateral plates – are considered as numerical examples to demonstrate the versatility of the present method for free vibration analyses.
