Post Buckling

In this study, nonlinear post-buckling and free vibration analysis of shape memory polymer sandwich composite (SMPSC) under dynamic temperature variation is performed. For the analysis, simplified Co continuity based on higher-order shear deformation theory (HSDT) has been adopted to perform finite element analysis (FEA). Numerical solutions are obtained by iterative Newton–Raphson method considering Von-Karman nonlinear kinematics. Material properties of SMPSC, with Shape Memory Polymer (SMP) as matrix and carbon fiber as reinforcements, have been calculated by theory of volume averaging. The effect of dynamic temperature variation and axial variable inplane loadings (AVIL) on SMPC and SMPSC has been evaluated for various parameters such as beam thickness ratio, layer variation, boundary conditions (BCs), position of core, thickness of core in sandwich structures for the first time. Apart from these, this study also clearly reveals the difference in magnitude of buckling and free vibration parameters between the shape memory polymer composites (SMPC) and SMPSC, before and after glass transition region of material.

This paper deals with the analytical and numerical analysis of free vibration in a new polymer piezoelectric crystal sensor. A quartz piezoelectric crystal here serves as the basal material and nonmetallic polymer thin films with perforative central holes as the surface coating according to the principle of quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), based on the Kirchhoff–Love plate model. A mechanical model of the new sensor was built, and its structure was a quartz piezoelectric sandwich composite circular plate with perforative central holes in the surface layers. The form of the electric potential field in the piezoelectric layer was here assumed to be such that the Maxwell static electricity equation is satisfied. The validation of the mechanical model and its analytic method is conducted by comparing the free vibration frequencies of the piezoelectric sandwich composite circular plate produced by the mechanical model’s analytical and numerical analyses performed using ANSYS software. Results show that the first 100 orders of free vibration frequency values of the mechanical model obtained by two methods, the analytical analysis and the numerical analysis, to be fit. The maximum absolute deviation rate ([Formula: see text] between the analytical solutions ([Formula: see text]) and the numerical solutions ([Formula: see text]) was found to be 6.89%. These results are important reference for the design of the new polymer quartz piezoelectric crystal sensors suitable for the identification of Chinese liquors.

Shell Formulation

This paper presents a free vibration analysis of general double curvature shell structures using B-spline shape functions and a refinement technique. The shell formulation is developed following the well known Ahmad degenerate approach including the effect of the shear deformation. The formulation is not isoparametric, as a consequence the assumed displacement field is described through non-uniform B-spline functions of any degree. A solution refinement technique is considered by means of a high continuity p-method approach. The eigensolution of a plate, and of single and double curvature shells are obtained by numerical simulation to test the performance of the approach. Solutions are compared with other available analytical and numerical solutions, and discussion follows.

The Relationship

This study deals with a new method for the free vibration analysis of beams under different boundary conditions. We show that it is possible to apply a static approach for solving free vibration systems, i.e., we obtain natural frequencies for free vibration of beams by analyzing static beam bending problems. Specifically, the basic governing equation for beams with harmonic loadings and resting on an elastic foundation is solved and the solutions are used directly to yield the beam free vibration solutions. In the free vibration analysis, the natural frequency can be a real number or an imaginary number while in the static analysis, the foundation stiffness can be either positive or negative. We show that one can solve the deflection of a beam subjected to a given concentrated force and subsequently deduce the possible infinite deflection when the stiffness becomes zero or negative. In such cases, there exists an equivalent relationship between the free vibration frequencies and the negative stiffness. Consequently, determining the natural frequencies becomes a problem of determining an appropriate negative foundation elastic constant. In general, the numerical vibration solutions can be obtained by analyzing the relationship between loadings and frequencies. For comparison, a comparison with the classical free vibration solutions is presented and excellent agreement is illustrated. We further show that this static approach for free vibration solutions has a clear edge over the classical free vibration approach in computational beam vibration solutions. Very accurate and convergent numerical solutions can be obtained using a very simple numerical solution method. This static approach for free vibration problems can be extended for plate, shell and other structural systems.
