An approach to obtain analytical closed-form expressions for the macroscopic ‘buckling strength’ of various two-dimensional cellular structures is presented. The method is based on classical beam-column end-moment behaviour expressed in a matrix form. It is applied to sample honeycombs with square, triangular and hexagonal unit cells to determine their buckling strength under a general macroscopic in-plane stress state. The results were verified using finite-element Eigenvalue analysis.

In vibration-based damage detection, changes to structural modal properties are tracked over time in order to infer the current state of damage or deterioration. As such, the ability to obtain reliable estimates of modal parameters, particularly natural frequencies and mode shapes, is of critical importance. In the present study, the influence of the dynamic excitation source on the accuracy and statistical uncertainty of modal property estimates for a three span reinforced concrete bridge was investigated experimentally and numerically. Comparisons were made between the dynamic responses due to vehicle loading, harmonic and random forcing, impact, and environmental excitation. It was demonstrated that natural frequencies and mode shapes extracted from the free vibration response following vehicle and random loading events were of higher quality than corresponding values determined during the forcing phase of those events. Harmonic excitation at resonant frequencies and impact were also found to produce statistically reliable results.

An important place among thermoelasticity problems is occupied by the plane elasticity problem obtained from the general three-dimensional problem after using plane stress state hypotheses for thin plates. In the two-dimensional formulation, this problem has become widespread in the study of the effect of temperature loads on the stress state of thin thermosensitive plates. The article proposes a general three-dimensional solution of the static problem of thermoelasticity in a form convenient for practical application. To construct it, a particular solution of the inhomogeneous equation, the thermoelastic displacement potential, was added by us to the general solution of Lamé's equations, the latter solution having been previously found by us in terms of three harmonic functions. It is shown that the use of the proposed solution allows one to satisfy the relation between the static three-dimensional theory of thermoelasticity and boundary conditions, and also to construct a closed system of partial differential equations for the introduced two-dimensional functions without using hypotheses about the plane stress state of a plate. The thermoelastic stress state of a thick or thin plate is divided into two parts. The first part takes into account the thermal effects caused by external heating and internal heat sources, while the second one is determined by a symmetrical force load. The thermoelastic stresses are expressed in terms of deformations and known temperature. A three-dimensional thermoelastic stress-strain state representation is used and the zero boundary conditions on the outer flat surfaces of the plate are precisely satisfied. This allows us to show that the introduced two-dimensional functions will be harmonic. After integrating along the thickness of the plate along the normal to the median surface, normal and shear efforts are expressed in terms of three unknown two-dimensional functions. The three-dimensional stress state of a symmetrically loaded thermosensitive plate was simplified to the two-dimensional state. For this purpose, we used only the hypothesis that the normal stresses perpendicular to the median surface are insignificant in comparison with the longitudinal and transverse ones. Displacements and stresses in the plate are expressed in terms of two two-dimensional harmonic functions and a particular solution, which is determined by a given temperature on the surfaces of the plate. The introduced harmonic functions are determined from the boundary conditions on the side surface of the thick plate. The proposed technique allows the solution of three-dimensional boundary value problems for thick thermosensitive plates to be reduced to a two-dimensional case.

Reinforced concrete as one of the main materials for a wide class of building structures for civil, industrial and transport purposes has a number of specific properties: physical nonlinearity, anisotropy, and crack formation. The behavior of reinforced concrete in the elastoplastic stage before its destruction is more characterized by deformation of concrete. It is shown that the physical nonlinearity of concrete is due to plastic deformations, which are characteristic of various types of stress state. For a triaxial stress state, the system of equations in the mechanics of a deformable solid, it includes two groups of formulas that combine nine equations that include 15 unknowns (three displacements, six strain components, and six stress components). In order for the system to be closed, it is necessary to supplement it with six equations. Such equations are the basic physical relationships that relate the six stress components to the six strain components. The use of linear relationships between stresses and strains introduces the greatest error in the assessment of the stress-strain state (NDS) of structures made of materials with the properties of nonlinearly deformable bodies. In this regard, the more correctly the physical law defining the correlation reflects the material, according to which the material resists various types of deformations, the less error will be allowed in the assessment of the NDS of structures. The article proposes a new approach to the construction of basic physical relationships based on an invariant solution to the problems of mechanics of a deformable solid for concrete in a plane stress state. The correspondence of the proposed dependences to the real stress and deformable state of the material is shown.
