Thermal Vibration of Composites and Sandwich Laminates Using Refined Higher Order Zigzag Theory
Vibration of laminated composite and sandwich plate under thermal loading is studied in this paper. A refined higher order theory has been used for the purpose. In order to avoid stress oscillations observed in the implementation of a displacement based finite element, the stress field derived from temperature (initial strains) have been made consistent with total strain field. So far no study ...
متن کاملOn Bending Response of Doubly Curved Laminated Composite Shells Using Hybrid Refined Models
This paper presents a static analysis of laminated composite doubly-curved shells using refined kinematic models with polynomial and non-polynomial functions recently introduced in the literature. To be specific, Maclaurin, trigonometric, exponential and zig-zag functions are employed. The employed refined models are based on the equivalent single layer theories. A simply supported shell is sub...
متن کاملDoubly curved nanofiber-reinforced optically transparent composites
Doubly curved nanofiber-reinforced optically transparent composites with low thermal expansion of 15 ppm/k are prepared by hot pressing vacuum-filtered Pickering emulsions of hydrophobic acrylic resin monomer, hydrophilic chitin nanofibers and water. The coalescence of acrylic monomer droplets in the emulsion is prevented by the chitin nanofibers network. This transparent composite has 3D shape...
متن کاملA continuum mechanics based four-node shell element for general non- linear analysis
A new four-node (non-flat) general quadrilateral shell element for geometric and material non-linear analysis is presented. The element is formulated using threedimensional continuum mechanics theory and it is applic able to the analysis of thin and thick shells. The for mulation of the element and the solutions to various test and demonstrative example problems are presented and discussed.
متن کاملIsogeometric 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...
