The present paper reports an extensive study on dynamic instability characteristics of curved panels under linearly varying in-plane periodic loading employing finite element formulation with a quadratic isoparametric eight nodded element. At first, the influences of three types of linearly varying in-plane periodic edge loads (triangular, trapezoidal and uniform loads), three types of curved panels (cylindrical, spherical and hyperbolic) and six boundary conditions on excitation frequency and instability region are investigated. Further, the effects of varied parameters, such as shallowness parameter, span to thickness ratio, aspect ratio, and Poisson’s ratio, on the dynamic instability characteristics of curved panels with clamped–clamped–clamped–clamped (CCCC) and simply supported-free-simply supported-free (SFSF) boundary conditions under triangular load are studied. It is found that the above parameters influence significantly on the excitation frequency, at which the dynamic instability initiates, and the width of dynamic instability region (DIR). In addition, a comparative study is also made to find the influences of the various in-plane periodic loads, such as uniform, triangular, parabolic, patch and concentrated load, on the dynamic instability behavior of cylindrical, spherical and hyperbolic panels. Finally, typical design charts showing DIRs in non-dimensional forms are also developed to obtain the excitation frequency and instability region of various frequently used isotropic clamped spherical panels of any dimension, any type of linearly varying in-plane load and any isotropic material directly from these charts without the use of any commercially available finite element software or any developed complex model.

Abstract Philippacopoulos (1988) discusses axisymmetric wave propagation in a fluid-saturated porous solid half-space. The disturbance is considered to be produced by the concentrated load P0exp(iωt) acting vertically at the surface. Boundary conditions chosen imply that a vertical force acting on the surface of fluid-saturated porous solid exerts no pressure on the interstitial liquid. These boundary conditions do not seem appropriate. In the present study, the boundary conditions have been changed in order to satisfy the concept of porosity. These are also in accordance with those discussed by Deresiewicz and Skalak (1963) for the special case of interface between liquid and liquid-saturated porous media. Analytic expressions have been derived for the displacements at the surface. The limiting case of a dry elastic solid is also deduced. Effects of intergranular energy losses due to solid phase and of dissipation due to flow of pore fluid are exhibited on the displacements at the surface. Contrary to Philippacopoulos (1988), the displacements in saturated poroelastic solids are found to be larger than those in a dry elastic solid with same Lamb's moduli.

Abstract The problem of small-deflection theory applicable to plates of cylindrically aeolotropic material has been developed, and expressions for moments and deflections produced have been found by Carrier in some symmetrical cases under uniform lateral loadings and with different boundary conditions. The author has also found the moments and deflection in the case of an unsymmetrical bending of a plate loaded by a distribution of pressure of the form p = p0r cos θ, with clamped edge. The object of the present paper is to investigate the problem of the bending of a cylindrically aeolotropic circular plate of uniform thickness under a concentrated load P applied at a point A at a distance b from the center, the edge being clamped.


The collapse loads and mechanisms of a rigid-plastic plate with a square yield diagram, such as continuously reinforced concrete plate, are considered. Particular attention is paid to the case of a single concentrated load applied to a plate of arbitrary plan and with arbitrary boundary conditions. Upper-bound solutions are also given for a uniformly loaded plate of regular polygonal plan.

The free in-plane vibration of a shallow circular arch with uniform cross-section is investigated by taking into account axial extension, shear deformation and rotatory inertia effects. The exact solution of the governing differential equations is obtained by the initial value method. By employing the same solution procedure, the solutions are also given for the other cases, in which each effect is considered alone, as well as no effect. The frequency coefficients are obtained for the lowest five vibration modes of arches with five combinations of classical boundary conditions, and various slenderness ratios and opening angles. The results show that the shear deformation and rotatory inertia effects are also very important as well as the axial extension effect, even if a slender shallow arch is considered. The discrepancies among the results of the five cases decrease, when opening angle increases for a constant radius and slenderness ratio. The effects of the boundary conditions and the slenderness ratio of the arch are investigated. The discrepancies among the results of the cases become much more important in higher modes. The mode shapes of a shallow arch are obtained for each case.

This paper presents the effects of the several factors that influence lateral-torsional buckling on freestanding circular arches. The studied factors that attribute to the effects of lateral-torsional buckling include cross section type, included angle, slender ratio, imperfection, loading, and boundary conditions. From the reviewed studies, the misrepresentation of these factors to a certain extent may yield inaccurate results. Several studies and design codes have proposed different solutions to account for these factors in designs against lateral-torsional buckling for some structural elements. However, there were no studies reported on the out-of-plane lateral-torsional buckling of fixed circular arches made of structural aluminum channel sections subjected to central concentrated load. Therefore, there is a need for further research on the lateral-torsional buckling real behavior of fixed circular arches of structural aluminum channels.
