Vibration analysis of laminated plates with various boundary conditions using extended Kantorovich method

Pairod Singhatanadgid,Thanawut Wetchayanon 국제구조공학회 2014 Structural Engineering and Mechanics, An Int'l Jou Vol.52 No.1

In this study, an extended Kantorovich method, employing multi-term displacement functions, is applied to analyze the vibration problem of symmetrically laminated plates with arbitrary boundary conditions. The vibration behaviors of laminated plates are determined based on the variational principle of total energy minimization and the iterative Kantorovich method. The out-of-plane displacement is represented in the form of a series of a sum of products of functions in x and y directions. With a known function in the x or y directions, the formulation for the variation of total potential energy is transformed to a set of governing equations and a set of boundary conditions. The equations and boundary conditions are then numerically solved for the natural frequency and vibration mode shape. The solutions are verified with available solutions from the literature and solutions from the Ritz and finite element analysis. In most cases, the natural frequencies compare very well with the reference solutions. The vibration mode shapes are also very well modeled using the multi-term assumed displacement function in the terms of a power series. With the method used in this study, it is possible to solve the angle-ply plate problem, where the Kantorovich method with single-term displacement function is ineffective.

In this research, a simple hyperbolic shear deformation theory is developed and applied for the bending, vibration and buckling of powerly graded material (PGM) sandwich plate with various boundary conditions. The displacement field of the present model is selected based on a hyperbolic variation in the in-plane displacements across the plate‟s thickness. By splitting the deflection into the bending and shear parts, the number of unknowns and equations of motion of the present formulation is reduced and hence makes them simple to use. Equations of motion are obtained from Hamilton‟s principle. Numerical results for the natural frequencies, deflections and critical buckling loads of several types of powerly graded sandwich plates under various boundary conditions are presented. The accuracy of the present formulation is demonstrated by comparing the computed results with those available in the literature. As conclusion, this theory is as accurate as other theories available in the literature and so it becomes more attractive due to smaller number of unknowns.

Rasool Moradi-Dastjerdi,Gholamhassan Payganeh 국제구조공학회 2017 Steel and Composite Structures, An International J Vol.24 No.3

In this work, transient heat transfer analysis of functionally graded (FG) carbon nanotube reinforced nanocomposite (CNTRC) cylinders with various essential and natural boundary conditions is investigated by a mesh-free method. The cylinders are subjected to thermal flux, convection environments and constant temperature faces. The material properties of the nanocomposite are estimated by an extended micro mechanical model in volume fraction form. The distribution of carbon nanotube (CNT) has a linear variation along the radial direction of axisymmetric cylinder. In the mesh-free analysis, moving least squares shape functions are used for approximation of temperature field in the weak form of heat transform equation and the transformation method is used for the imposition of essential boundary conditions. Newmark method is applied for solution time depended problem. The effects of CNT distribution pattern and volume fraction, cylinder thickness and boundary conditions are investigated on the transient temperature field of the nanocomposite cylinders.

The influence of boundary conditions on the bending and free vibration behavior of functionally graded sandwich plates resting on a two-parameter elastic foundation is examined using an original novel high order shear theory. The Hamilton’s principle is used herein to derive the equations of motion. The number of unknowns and governing equations of the present theory is reduced, and hence makes it simple to use. This theory includes indeterminate integral variables and contains only four unknowns in which any shear correction factor not used, with even less than the conventional theory of first shear strain (FSDT). Unlike any other theory, the number of unknown functions involved in displacement field is only four, as against five, six or more in the case of other shear deformation theories. Galerkin’s approach is utilized for FGM sandwich plates with six different boundary conditions. The accuracy of the proposed solution is checked by comparing it with other closed form solutions available in the literature.

Buckling analysis of laminated plates using the extended Kantorovich method and a system of first-order differential equations

Pairod Singhatanadgid,Panupan Jommalai 대한기계학회 2016 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.30 No.5

The extended Kantorovich method using multi-term displacement functions is applied to the buckling problem of laminated plates with various boundary conditions. The out-of-plane displacement of the buckled plate is written as a series of products of functions of parameter x and functions of parameter y. With known functions in parameter x or parameter y, a set of governing equations and a set of boundary conditions are obtained after applying the variational principle to the total potential energy of the system. The higher order differential equations are then transformed into a set of first-order differential equations and solved for the buckling load and mode. Since the governing equations are first-order differential equations, solutions can be obtained analytically with the out-of-plane displacement written in the form of an exponential function. The solutions from the proposed technique are verified with solutions from the literature and FEM solutions. The bucking loads correspond very well to other available solutions in most of the comparisons. The buckling modes also compare very well with the finite element solutions. The proposed solution technique transforms higher-order differential equations to first-order differential equations, and they are analytically solved for out-of-plane displacement in the form of an exponential function. Therefore, the proposed solution technique yields a solution which can be considered as an analytical solution.

Free and forced vibration analysis of FG beam considering temperature dependency of material properties

Mohammad Azadi 대한기계학회 2011 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.25 No.1

This paper presents a finite element method (FEM) free and forced lateral vibration analysis of beams made of functionally graded materials (FGMs). The temperature dependency of material properties along with damping had not previously been taken into account in vibration analysis. In the present study, the material properties were assumed to be temperature-dependent, and were graded in the thickness direction according to a simple power law distribution of the volume fractions of the constituents. The natural frequencies were obtained for functionally graded (FG) beams with various boundary conditions. First, an FG beam was assumed to be isotropic (metal rich) and the results were compared with the analytical solution and the results for ANSYS and NASTRAN software. Finally, dynamic responses were obtained for damped and un-damped systems. Numerical results were obtained to show the influences of the temperature dependency of the materials properties, the boundary conditions, the volume fraction distribution (the index of power law, N) and the geometrical parameters.

Mohammad Arefi,Krzysztof Kamil Żur 국제구조공학회 2020 Steel and Composite Structures, An International J Vol.34 No.4

In this paper, free vibration analysis of a functionally graded cylindrical nanoshell resting on Pasternak foundation is presented based on the nonlocal elasticity theory. A two-dimensional formulation along the axial and radial directions is presented based on the first-order shear deformation shell theory. Hamilton's principle is employed for derivation of the governing equations of motion. The solution to formulated boundary value problem is obtained based on a harmonic solution and trigonometric functions for various boundary conditions. The numerical results show influence of significant parameters such as small scale parameter, stiffness of Pasternak foundation, mode number, various boundary conditions, and selected dimensionless geometric parameters on natural frequencies of nanoshell.

Mashhour A. Alazwari,Ahmed Amine Daikh,Mohammed Sid Ahmed Houari,Abdelouahed Tounsi,Mohamed A Eltaher 국제구조공학회 2021 Steel and Composite Structures, An International J Vol.40 No.3

This paper introduces a comprehensive buckling response of cross-ply orientation of carbon nanotube reinforced composite (CNTRC) multilayered nanobeams with different boundary conditions. The nonlocal strain gradient (NLSG) stress-strain governing relations are utilized to include the size-dependence and microstructure effects. Novel hyperbolic higher shear deformation beam theory including thickness stretching effect is used to fulfill both parabolic shear distribution through the thickness and the zero-shear at free boundaries. Parametric studies are performed to inspect the influences of arrangement of reinforcement material distributions functions, different functionally graded (FG) functions, and uniform distribution (UD). The balance equilibrium equations are derived, and Fourier functions are utilized to obtain the critical buckling loads of nanobeam under mechanical loadings. Mechanical properties are assumed to be temperature-dependent by using Touloukian principal. An exact solution is performed satisfying the edge boundary conditions. A detailed numerical analysis is illustrated to examine the impact of CNTs patterns, lamination, side-to-thickness, aspect ratios, microstructure and size scale parameters on critical buckling loads of CNTRC laminated nanobeams.
