The Core

Free vibration and buckling of laminated sandwich plate having soft core is studied by using an efficient C0 continuous finite element (FE) model based on higher-order zigzag theory (HOZT). In this theory, the in-plane displacement field for both the face sheets and the core is obtained by superposing a global cubically varying displacement field on a zigzag linearly varying displacement field with a different slope in each layer. The transverse displacement is assumed to be quadratic within the core while it remains constant in the faces beyond the core. The proposed model satisfies the condition of transverse shear stress continuity at the layer interfaces and the zero transverse shear stress condition at the top and bottom of the plate. The nodal field variables are chosen in an efficient manner to overcome the problem of C1 continuity requirement of the transverse displacement. Numerical examples on free vibration and buckling covering different geometric and material features of laminated composite and sandwich plates are presented. Many new results are also presented which should be useful for future research.

The Core

An efficient C0 continuous finite element (FE) model is developed based on a combined theory (refine higher order shear deformation theory (RHSDT) and least square error (LSE) method) for the static analysis of a soft core sandwich plate. In this (RHSDT) theory, the in-plane displacement field for the face sheets and the core is obtained by superposing a global cubically varying displacement field on a zig-zag linearly varying displacement field with a different slope in each layer. The transverse displacement assumes to have a quadratic variation within the core and it remains constant in the faces beyond the core. The proposed model satisfies the condition of transverse shear stress continuity at the layer interfaces and the zero transverse shear stress condition at the top and bottom of the sandwich plate. The nodal field variables are chosen in an efficient manner to circumvent the problem of C1 continuity requirement of the transverse displacements. In order to calculate the accurate through thickness transverse stresses variation, the Least Square Error (LSE) method has been used at the post processing stage. The proposed combined model (RHSDT and LSE) is implemented to analyze the laminated composites and sandwich plates. Many new results are also presented which should be useful for future research.

The Core

Free vibration response of laminated sandwich beams having a soft core is studied by using a recently developed C0 finite element beam model. The model has been developed based on higher order zigzag theory where the in-plane displacement variation is considered to be cubic for both the face sheets and the core. The transverse displacement is assumed to be quadratic within the core while it remains constant in the faces beyond the core. The model satisfies the condition of transverse shear stress continuity at the layer interfaces and the zero transverse shear stress condition at the top and bottom of the beam. The nodal field variables are chosen in an efficient manner to overcome the problem of continuity requirement of the derivatives of transverse displacements. Numerical examples on free vibration covering different features of laminated composite and sandwich beams are presented. Many new results are also presented which should be useful for future research.

The Core

Free vibration behavior of laminated soft core sandwich plates with stiff laminated face sheets is investigated using a new C0 finite element (FE) model based on higher order zigzag theory (HOZT) in this paper. The in-plane displacement variations are considered to be cubic for both the face sheets and the core, while the transverse displacement is assumed to vary quadratically within the core and remains constant in the faces beyond the core. The plate theory ensures a shear stress-free condition at the top and bottom surfaces of the plate. Thus, the plate theory has all of the features required for an accurate modeling of laminated sandwich plates. As very few elements based on this plate theory (HOZT) exist and they possess certain disadvantages, an attempt has been made to develop this new element. The nodal field variables are chosen in such a manner to overcome the problem of continuity requirement of the derivatives of transverse displacements, i.e., no need to impose any penalty stiffness in the formulation. A nine node C0 quadratic plate finite element is implemented to model the HOZT for the present analysis. A new C0 element has been utilized to study some interesting problems on free vibration analysis of laminated sandwich plates. Many new results are also presented which should be useful for future research.

Low Weight

The use of sandwich structures in various engineering fields is growing rapidly because of advantageous features such as low weight and high strength-to-weight ratio.The existing theories are all based on soft core assumption. In this case, the in-plane stress and the stiffness of the core are not included. It has been shown that Ressiner theory is inadequate for the analysis of hard-core sandwich plates. Different revision factors were put forward in this paper to revise the bending, buckling and free vibration results of soft-core Reissner theory for hard-core sandwich plates. The results show that the revised results go well with the hard core theory, so that its validity is confirmed.

Free Vibration Response

In this work, the effects of variations in temperature and moisture concentrations on the static and free vibration response of sandwich laminated plates with low-density core have been studied. A higher order zigzag laminate theory is used which satisfies the continuity in transverse shear stress at the layer interfaces and zero transverse shear stress condition at the top and bottom surfaces of the laminate . The displacement field in this theory suitably allows for the quadratic distribution of transverse shear stress across the thickness and transverse compressibility effect of the core. An effective finite element formulation is carried out by employing a nine-node C0 isoparametric element for the above plate model. Numerical examples of composite and sandwich laminates with different material properties, effect of temperature and moisture variation, aspect ratios, boundary conditions, number of layers and ply orientations are considered for the analysis. Efficiency of the present plate model in predicting various responses subjected to hygrothermal loading is verified by comparing with the available published results.

Angle Ply Laminates

In the present work, for the first time, free vibration response of angle ply laminates with uncertainties is attempted using Multivariate Adaptive Regression Spline (MARS), Artificial Neural Network-Particle Swarm Optimization (ANN-PSO), Gaussian Process Regression (GPR), and Adaptive Network Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS). The present approach employed 2D C0 stochastic finite element (FE) model based on the Third Order Shear Deformation Theory (TSDT) in conjunction with MARS, ANN-PSO, GPR, and ANFIS. The TSDT model used eliminates the requirement of shear correction factor owing to the consideration of the actual parabolic distribution of transverse shear stress. Zero transverse shear stress at the top and bottom of the plate is enforced to compute higher-order unknowns. C0 FE model makes it commercially viable. Stochastic FE analysis done with Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) FORTRAN inhouse code, selection of design points using a random variable framework, and soft computing with MARS, ANN-PSO, GPR, and ANFIS is implemented using MATLAB in-house code. Following the random variable frame, design points were selected from the input data generated through Monte Carlo Simulation. A total of four-mode shapes are analyzed in the present study. The comparison study was done to compare present work with results in the literature and they were found in good agreement. The stochastic parameters are Young’s elastic modulus, shear modulus, and the Poisson ratio. Lognormal distribution of properties is assumed in the present work. The current soft computation models shrink the number of trials and were found computationally efficient as the MCS-based FE modelling. The paper presents a comparison of MARS, ANN-PSO, GPR, and ANFIS algorithm performance with the stochastic FE model based on TSDT.

Transverse Shear Stresses

An engineering approach to estimation of the transverse shear stresses in layered composites is developed. The technique is based on the well-known D. I. Zhuravsky equation for shear stresses in an isotropic beam upon transverse bending. In general, application of this equation to a composite beam is incorrect due to the heterogeneity of the composite structure. According to the proposed method, at the first stage of its implementation, a transition to the equivalent model of a homogeneous beam is made, for which the Zhuravsky formula is valid. The transition is carried out by changing the shape of the cross section of the beam, provided that the bending stiffness and generalized elastic modulus remain the same. The calculated shear stresses in the equivalent beam are then converted to the stress values in the original composite beam from the equilibrium condition. The main equations and definitions of the method as well as the analytical equation for estimation of the transverse shear stress in a composite beam are presented. The method is verified by comparing the analytical solution and the results of the numerical solution of the problem by finite element method (FEM). It is shown that laminate stacking sequence has a significant impact both on the character and on the value of the transverse shear stress distribution. The limits of the applicability of the developed technique attributed to the conditions of the validity of the hypothesis of straight normal are considered. It is noted that under this hypothesis the shear stresses do not depend on the layer shear modulus, which explains the absence of this parameter in the obtained equation. The classical theory of laminate composites is based on the similar assumptions, which gives ground to use this equation for an approximate estimation of the transverse shear stresses in in a layered composite package.
