AbstractIn this paper, a generalized solution for 1-D steady-state mechanical and thermal deformation and stresses in rotating hollow functionally graded spherical body is presented. Spherical shells are treated under mechanical and thermal loads in the form of rotational body force with heat generation. Temperature distribution is assumed to vary along the radial direction due to variable heat generation. General uniform mechanical boundary condition at inner and outer surfaces along with prescribed temperatures at both the ends are assumed as boundary conditions. In the present study, material properties are taken as power function of radius with grading parameter ranging between −2 to 3. Governing differential equation with variable coefficient is developed and solved to find deformation and stresses. The obtained results are verified with benchmark results and are found to be in good agreement. Results show that deformation and stresses decrease with an increase in the value of grading parameter and are less as compared to the homogeneous body.

AbstractThis paper presents, numerical study of stress field in functionally graded material (FGM) hollow cylinder by using finite element method (FEM). The FGM cylinder is subjected to internal pressure and uniform heat generation. Thermoelastic material properties of FGM cylinder are assumed to vary along radius of cylinder as an exponential function of radius. The governing differential equation is solved numerically by FEM for isotropic and anistropic hollow cylinder. Additionally, the effect of material gradient index (β) on normalized radial stresses, normalized circumferential stress and normalized axial stress are evaluated and shown graphically. The behaviour of stress versus normalized radius of cylinder is plotted for different values of Poisson’s ratio and temperature. The graphical results shown that stress field in FGM cylinder is influenced by some of above mentioned parameters.

The main objective of this work is to present a numerical modeling of mixed-mode fracture in isotropic functionally graded materials (FGMs), under mechanical and thermal loading conditions. In this paper, the displacement-based method, termed the generalized displacement correlation (GDC) method, is investigated for estimating stress intensity factor (SIF). Using the ANSYS Parametric Design Language (APDL), the continuous variations of the material properties are incorporated by specified parameters at the centroid of each element. This paper presents various numerical examples in which the accuracy of the present method is verified. Comparisons have been made between the SIFs predicted by the GDC method and the available reference solutions in the current literature. A good agreement is achieved between the results of the GDC method and the reference solutions.

The quasi-Greens function method (QGFM) is applied to solve the bending problem of simply supported polygonal shallow spherical shells on Pasternak foundation. A quasi-Greens function is established by using the fundamental solution and the boundary equation of the problem. And the function satisfies the homogeneous boundary condition of the problem. Then the differential equation of the problem is reduced to two simultaneous Fredholm integral equations of the second kind by the Greens formula. The singularity of the kernel of the integral equation is overcome by choosing a suitable form of the normalized boundary equation. The comparison with the ANSYS finite element solution shows a good agreement, and it demonstrates the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed method.

We have studied magnetic force on sperical magnetic fluid samples with a wide range of concentrations by pendulum method. The results demonstrate good agreement with Kelvin body force and show that other force expressions clearly deviate from experimental data for large sussceptibility values.

The biaxial deformation behavior of HY 80 steel has been examined by testing thin wall tubes under combined axial tension and internal pressure. The effective stress-strain curves and the hardening response have been found to vary with the stress state. The plastic strain ratio at a given stress ratio deviates from the von Mises value except at the stress states near uniaxial tension, plane strain and equi-biaxial tension. Using Drucker theory, these deviations are eliminated and the resulting yield locus is in good agreement with both the Bishop-Hill theory and the experimental results. Influenced by the tube geometry, the instability strains at the onset of diffuse necking are decreased by an increase in hoop tension. The diffuse necking strains are reasonably predicted by the Swift and the Lankford-Saibel/Mellor criteria.

This paper investigated the performance of actively confined geopolymer concrete (GPC) through experiments. The mechanical properties of GPC under triaxial stress states were analyzed and discussed from the prospects of failure modes, axial peak stress and strain, monotonic and cyclic constitutive relationships. The experimental results demonstrated that the loading modes (monotonic loading and cyclic loading) had little effect on the failure mode and axial peak stress and strain. The improvement of the strength and ductility of GPC with the increase in confinement level was consistent with that of the conventional cement concrete while the strain enhancement of confined GPC was lower than that of confined conventional cement concrete at the same confinement level. The curves of the monotonic stress–strain and the envelop of cyclic compression were predicted through Mander’s model with good accuracy. The unloading/reloading models proposed by Lokuge were modified and the predicted cyclic hysteresis curves for actively confined GPC were in good agreement with the cyclic compression results. Findings from this study provide references for the application of geopolymer concrete.

In the present paper the non-linear buckling analysis of functionally graded spherical shells subjected to external pressure is investigated. The material properties are graded in the thickness direction according to the power-law distribution in terms of volume fractions of the constituents of the material. In the formulation of governing equations geometric non-linearity in all strain-displacement relations of the shell is considered. Using Bubnov-Galerkin's method to solve the problem an approximated analytical expression of non-linear buckling loads of functionally graded spherical shells is obtained, that allows easily to investigate stability behaviors of the shell.

Presence of cut-outs of different shapes is inevitable and is many times considered to be a desirable feature for the design of light-weight components. However, the presence of such cut-outs induces highly localized stresses in their vicinity which cannot be resolved using analytical relations and elementary equations of the strength of materials. In the recent years, FEM has evolved as a crucial tool for handling such problems with reduced degree of complexity. The present investigation is aimed at studying the effect of various geometrical parameters and loading scenarios on the SCF induced in an infinite plate in presence of rectangular cut-out with filleted corners. In the first step, the model was subjected to uniaxial load and the obtained values of SCF exhibited good agreement with analytical values. The model was further subjected to systematically varied stress states and geometrical parameters in order to study their effect on the SCF.
