Isogeometric finite element analysis of laminated composite plates based on a four variable refined plate theory
In this paper, a novel and effective formulation based on isogeometric approach (IGA) and Refined Plate Theory (RPT) is proposed to study the behavior of laminated composite plates. Using many kinds of higher-order distributed functions, RPT model naturally satisfies the traction-free boundary conditions at plate surfaces and describes the non-linear distribution of shear stresses without requi...
متن کاملA zigzag model for laminated composite beams
In the present work, a zigzag model for symmetric laminated beam is developed. This model uses a sine term to represent the nonlinear displacement field across the thickness as compared to a third order polynomial term in conventional theories. Transverse shear stress and strain are represented by a cosine term as compared to parabolic term. This model satisfies displacement and transverse shea...
متن کاملAnalysis of laminated composite plate/shell structures using a stabilized nodal- integrated quadrilateral element
A new simple and accurate four-node quadrilateral element is developed for linear static and dynamic analysis of thin to moderately thick laminated, anisotropic plate/shell structures within the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT). The element is built by incorporating the strain smoothing method of mesh-free conforming nodal integration into the conventional bilinear four-node quadrila...
متن کاملPrediction of Composite Laminate Strength Properties Using a Refined Zigzag Plate Element
This study presents an approach that uses the refined zigzag element, {2,2} RZE in conjunction with progressive failure criteria to predict the ultimate strength of composite laminates based on only ply-level strength properties. The methodology involves four major steps: (1) Determination of accurate stress and strain fields under complex loading conditions using {2,2} RZE -based finite elemen...
متن کاملBending and Free Vibration Analyses of Rectangular Laminated Composite Plates Resting on Elastic Foundation Using a Refined Shear Deformation Theory
In this paper, a closed form solution for bending and free vibration analyses of simply supported rectangular laminated composite plates is presented. The static and free vibration behavior of symmetric and antisymmetric laminates is investigated using a refined first-order shear deformation theory. The Winkler–Pasternak two-parameter model is employed to express the interaction between the lam...
