Large deflection analysis of clamped skew sandwich plates by parametric differentiation

The differential equations governing the large deflection behavior of skew sandwich plates are highly complex in nature and do not lend themselves for easy solution. In the study reported herein, this problem is solved by a numerical technique known as “parametric differentiation”. The non-linear differential equations in terms of displacements are transformed into a set of linear differential equations with variable coefficients. These are solved to give the gradients of the displacements in the load direction. The subsequent solution of a set of initial value problems yield the displacements proper. The results obtained by this method are compared with available results of other investigators and the agreement is found to be good. Load deflection characteristics have been presented for clamped skew sandwich plates.     

Large deflection of clamped skew plates

A theoretical analysis is presented for the large deflection elastic behaviour of clamped, uniformly loaded orthotropic skew plates. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed into a set of nonlinear algebraic equations. For this purpose a network of discrete points over the domain is considered, and the integral equation of beams along the skew directions is used with appropriate boundary conditions. The resulting nonlinear algebraic equations are then solved by a Newton-Raphson procedure.A convergence study of the solution has been made, and numerical results for a few cases of orthotropy and skew angles are presented in graphical form. The results obtained by this method are compared with available results of other investigators.     

Axisymmetric bending of circular and annular sandwich plates with nonlinear elastic core material

This paper compares the analytical model of the axisymmetric bending of a circular sandwich plate with the finite element method (FEM) based numerical model. The differential equations of the bending of circular symmetrical sandwich plates with isotropic face sheets and a nonlinear elastic core material are obtained. The perturbation method of a small parameter is used to represent the nonlinear differential equations as a sequence of linear equations specifying each other. The linear differential equations are solved by reducing them to the Bessel equation. The results of the calculations with the use of the analytical and FEM models are compared with the results obtained by other authors by the example of the following problems: (1) axisymmetric transverse bending of a circular sandwich plate; (2) axisymmetric transverse bending of an annular sandwich plate. The effect of the nonlinear elasticity of the core material on the strained state of the sandwich plate is described.

Linear and non-linear deflection analysis of thick rectangular plates—I. theoretical derivation

Non-linear analysis of thick rectangular plates has been conducted using general three-dimensional equations; simplifications are made only for small rotations. The governing dimensionless partial differential equations in terms of the displacement components U, V, and W were derived. Non-linear analysis using the von Kármán equations can be considered as a particular case when the plate thickness is very small. Finite difference techniques were used to transform the partial differential equations into an algebraic system of equations to yield the solutions. The successive approximation technique is used to pursue the convergence of the dimensionless non-linear deflection of thick plates, using an under-relaxation factor γ with the linear deflection results as the first guess for the analysis.

A new analytical study of MHD stagnation-point flow in porous media with heat transfer

The similarity solution for the MHD Hiemenz flow against a flat plate with variable wall temperature in a porous medium gives a system of nonlinear partial differential equations. These equations are solved analytically by using a novel analytical method (DTM-Padé technique which is a combination of the differential transform method and the Padé approximation). This method is applied to give solutions of nonlinear differential equations with boundary conditions at infinity. Graphical results are presented to investigate influence of the Prandtl number, permeability parameter, Hartmann number and suction/blowing parameter on the velocity and temperature profiles.     

Free vibration and buckling analyses of CNT reinforced laminated non-rectangular plates by discrete singular convolution method

This paper presents the free vibration and buckling analyses of functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced (FG-CNTR) laminated non-rectangular plates, i.e., quadrilateral and skew plates, using a four-nodded straight-sided transformation method. At first, the related equations of motion and buckling of quadrilateral plate have been given, and then, these equations are transformed from the irregular physical domain into a square computational domain using the geometric transformation formulation via discrete singular convolution (DSC). The discretization of these equations is obtained via two-different regularized kernel, i.e., regularized Shannon’s delta (RSD) and Lagrange-delta sequence (LDS) kernels in conjunctions with the discrete singular convolution numerical integration. Convergence and accuracy of the present DSC transformation are verified via existing literature results for different cases. Detailed numerical solutions are performed, and obtained parametric results are presented to show the effects of carbon nanotube (CNT) volume fraction, CNT distribution pattern, geometry of skew and quadrilateral plate, lamination layup, skew and corner angle, thickness-to-length ratio on the vibration, and buckling analyses of FG-CNTR-laminated composite non-rectangular plates with different boundary conditions. Some detailed results related to critical buckling and frequency of FG-CNTR non-rectangular plates have been reported which can serve as benchmark solutions for future investigations.

     

Nonlinear static and dynamic damped response of isotropic, elastic circular plates

Nonlinear static and dynamic response analysis of clamped-in and simply supported boundary conditions, and immovably constrained and stress-free edge conditions for circular plates of isotropic elastic material with damping, subjected to step pressure pulse excitation are presented. The Von Karman relations are used which are reduced to coupled nonlinear partial differential equations and solved by a one-term solution, applying the Ritz-Galerkin technique to the deflection equation. This yields an ordinary nonlinear differential equation in time. The nonlinear dynamic damped response is obtained by applying the ultraspherical polynomial approximation technique. Plots of static deflection to thickness ratio versus non-dimensional load for different boundary and edge conditions, and the effect of damping on the nonlinear dynamic response for different values of non-dimensional damping factor are presented.

Nonlinear free bending vibrations of plates

A general solution for the Helmholtz differential equations is obtained in the complex domain and applied to the nonlinear, free, bending vibrations of plates. The analysis is based on the decoupled nonlinear von Karman field equations by Berger assumption for the large deformations of plates. The decoupled differential equation in terms of the deflection function is a fourth order Helmholtz differential equation. Its solution, called the dynamic deflection function, is obtained in the complex domain by means of newly defined first and second kind and modified Bessel functions. The dynamic deflection function can be applied to any plates having any shape and any boundary condition under any arbitrary dynamic loads. For plates with smooth boundary, the parameters of the dynamic deflection function are determined from the boundary conditions of the plates and the initial conditions of the vibrations. The analyses of plates with piece-wise smooth boundaries are obtained on the mapped planes. The nonlinear, free vibration of circular plates are investigated by the dynamic deflection function. The effect of stretching on the natural circular frequencies are illustrated.     

Laminated glass plates: revealing of nonlinear behavior

A laminated glass unit which consists of two glass plies and an interlayer polyvinyl butyral (PVB) shows very complex behavior in the range of service loads. Complex behavior is due to the effect of geometry that undergoes large deflection and order difference in modulus of elasticity of glass and PVB. The nonlinear behavior of laminated glass plate is represented by five coupled nonlinear partial differential equations for lateral and in-plane displacements obtained through the variational approach. Linear algebraic equations are obtained by writing the differential equations at discrete points of glass plates by using finite difference method with central differences. Since the algebraic equations are nonlinear, the iterative technique is employed to predict the displacements through the banded matrix solver for lateral displacement and strongly implicit method for in-plane displacements. Solution will only be reached when variable underrelaxation parameter is used; otherwise solution diverges. Results denote that complex stress fields develop, and maximum stress is traveling; starting at the center, following x-axis, then moving on the diagonal and settling at the region closer to the corner at high nonlinearity level.

Vibration studies on skew plates: Treatment of internal line supports

A comprehensive literature survey on the vibration of thin skew plates is presented and a few virgin areas on this subject are identified. As an initial part of a research plan to fill these gaps, the paper focuses on vibrating skew plates with internal line supports. For analysis, the pb-2 Rayleigh-Ritz method is used. The Ritz function is defined by the product of (1) a two-dimensional polynomial function, (2) the equations of the boundaries with each equation raised to the power of 0, 1, or 2 corresponding to a free, simply supported or clamped edge and (3) the equations of the internal line supports. Since the pb-2 Ritz function satisfies the kinematic boundary conditions at the outset, the analyst need not be inconvenient by having to search for the appropriate function; especially when dealing with any arbitrary shaped plate of various combinations of supporting edge conditions. Based on this simple and accurate pb-2 Rayleigh-Ritz method, tabulated vibration solutions are presented for skew plates with different edge conditions, skew angles, aspect ratios and internal line support positions.
