Abstract Revealing the ultrasonic cutting mechanism of honeycomb composite is important for determining the acoustic parameters of the ultrasonic system and selecting the parameters of the cutting process. Understanding more details of the stress on the cell wall from ultrasonic vibrating tool and the conditions for cell wall breakage is essential to study the machining mechanism. According to the evolution of contact state between the straight edge cutter and the honeycomb cell wall in a cycle, the cutting force acting on the cell wall is divided into three stages: transverse cutting load action, longitudinal cutting load action, and no cutting load action. The cell wall deflection and stress equations under transverse cutting load were established by applying elastic thin plate small deflection theory. The deformation and fracture characteristics of the honeycomb cell wall were analyzed by combining the analytical and the finite element model. The results showed that the ultrasonic vibration of the cutter greatly improved the stiffening effect of the cell wall and its fracture was caused by the deflection under the transverse cutting load, which exceeded the maximum allowable deformation after local stiffening. In addition, with only longitudinal cutting load, it was difficult to break the critical buckling state that leads to cell wall fracture.

Abstract This paper presents a method for predicting endpoint coordinates, stress, and force to deflect stepped cantilever beams under large deflections. This method, the Mixed-Body Model or MBM, combines small deflection theory and the Pseudo-Rigid-Body Model for large deflections. To analyze the efficacy of the model, the MBM is compared to a model that assumes the first step in the beam to be rigid, to finite element analysis, and to the numerical boundary value solution over a large sample set of loading conditions, geometries, and material properties. The model was also compared to physical prototypes. In all cases, the MBM agrees well with expected values. Optimization of the MBM parameters yielded increased agreement, leading to average errors of <0.01 to 3%. The model provides a simple, quick solution with minimal error that can be particularly helpful in design.

Based on the equivalence principle, the concentrated vertical load which acts on the Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement(CRCP) transverse crack is translated into the equivalent half-wave sine load by Fourier transform. According to the translation principle of the force, the half-wave sine vertical load acting on the CRCP transverse crack is decomposed to the half-wave sine vertical load and the torsion force acting on the center of CRCP. Lastly, the deflection, torsional displacement and stress formulas of CRCP under the concentrated vertical load with hollow foundation are put forward, which is on the basis of the small deflection theory of elastic thin plate and torsion theory. The results show that increasing the slab thickness is the most effective measure to reduce maximal deflection, distortion displacement and stress of CRCP concentrated vertical load with hollow foundation.

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.

Fracture testing and analysis of aerospace grade honeycomb core sandwich constructions using a single cantilever beam test methodology is presented here. Influence of various parameters such as facesheet thickness, core density, honeycomb cell-size, and core thickness were studied. A Winkler-based foundation model was used to calculate compliance and energy-release rate, and further compare with finite element model and experiments. A cohesive zone model was developed to predict the disbond initiation and simulate the interface crack propagation in the single cantilever beam sandwich specimen. The mode I interface fracture toughness obtained from the translating base single cantilever beam setup was provided as input in this cohesive zone model. It is shown that the presented cohesive zone approach is robust, and is able to capture the debonding phenomenon for majority of the honeycomb core specimens.

Thin spinning annular disks, which have widely varying applications ranging from inertial wheels in spacecraft to computer data storage devices, experience some inherent vibration problems during operation. One of the techniques to control the vibrations of the disk, being analyzed in this paper, is to stiffen it by attaching a reinforcing ring at its outer edge. The present work considers the effect of adding such a ring and discusses the changes in the natural frequencies for a large range of design parameters. The classical plate bending equation based upon small deflection theory which includes the contribution of rotational membrane stresses has been used in the eigenvalue formulation. Numerical results presented in a nondimensional form should be useful in predicting the dynamic response of such a disk stiffened with a circular ring under the spinning conditions.

A small deflection theory, consisting of differential equations and a total potential energy expression, is presented for determining the stresses and deformations in variable thickness elastic sandwich plates symmetric about a middle surface. The theory takes into account the contribution of the face-sheet membrane forces (by virtue of their slopes) to the transverse shear. A finite-difference formulation of the stationary total potential energy principle is presented along with an illustrative application.

Stress distributions occurring in the proximity of rigid circular inserts attached to thin spherical shells are reported in this paper. The solutions are achieved by employing conical coordinates tangent to the sphere at its intersection with the insert. A small-deflection theory is used and results are stated in terms of readily available functions. For convenience in practical applications, solutions for several loading conditions are carried through to completion. Specifically, the paper gives formulas for stress distributions occurring in a spherical shell when provided with a rigid insert and when subjected to (a) internal pressurization in the shell; (b) axial load on the insert; (c) external moment on the insert; and (d) tangential shear load on the insert. The necessary constants of integration are given in tables and the procedure developed is illustrated by a comprehensive example.

This paper presents the nonlinear free vibration analysis of axisymmetric polar orthotropic circular membrane, based on the large deflection theory of membrane and the principle of virtual displacement. We have derived the governing equations of nonlinear free vibration of circular membrane and solved them by the Galerkin method and the Bessel function to obtain the generally exact formula of nonlinear vibration frequency of circular membrane with outer edges fixed. The formula could be degraded into the solution from small deflection vibration; thus, its correctness has been verified. Finally, the paper gives the computational examples and comparative analysis with the other solution. The frequency is enlarged with the increase of the initial displacement, and the larger the initial displacement is, the larger the effect on the frequency is, and vice versa. When the initial displacement approaches zero, the result is consistent with that obtained on the basis of the small deflection theory. Results obtained from this paper provide the accurate theory for the measurement of the pretension of polar orthotropic composite materials by frequency method and some theoretical basis for the research of the dynamic response of membrane structure.
