Generalized Beam Theory

A geometrically nonlinear Generalized Beam Theory (GBT) is formulated and its application leads to a system of equilibrium equations which are valid in the large deformation range but still retain and take advantage of the unique GBT mode decomposition feature. The proposed GBT formulation, for the elastic post-buckling analysis of isotropic thin-walled members, is able to handle various types of loading and arbitrary initial geometrical imperfections and, in particular, it can be used to perform "exact" or "approximate" (i.e., including only a few deformation modes) analyses. Concerning the solution of the system of GBT nonlinear equilibrium equations, the finite element method (FEM) constitutes the most efficient and versatile numerical technique and, thus, a beam FE is specifically developed for this purpose. The FEM implementation of the GBT post-buckling formulation is reported in some detail and then employed to obtain numerical results, which validate and illustrate the application and capabilities of the theory.

Generalised Beam Theory

<p>This paper presents and illustrates the application of an elastic-plastic Generalised Beam Theory (GBT) formulation, based on J<sub>2</sub>-flow plasticity theory, that makes it possible to perform physically and geometrically non-linear (post-buckling) analyses of prismatic thin-walled members (i) with arbitrary cross-section shapes, (ii) exhibiting any type of deformation pattern (global, local, distortional, warping, shear), (iii) made from non-linear materials with isotropic strain-hardening and (iv) containing initial imperfections, namely residual stresses and/or geometric imperfections, having generic distributions. After providing a brief overview of the main GBT assumptions, kinematical relations and equilibrium equations, the development of a novel non-linear beam finite element (FE) is addressed in some detail. Moreover, its application is illustrated through the presentation and discussion of numerical results concerning the post-buckling behaviour of a fixed-ended I-section steel column exhibiting local initial geometrical imperfections, namely (i) non-linear equilibrium paths, (ii) displacement profiles, (iii) stress diagrams/distributions and (iv) deformed configurations. For validation purposes, the GBT results are also compared with values yielded by Abaqus rigorous shell FE analyses.</p>

Interlaminar Shear

Abstract The buckled wave length and the critical in-plane bending moment of laminated long composite strips of cord-reinforced rubber sheets on an elastic foundation is analyzed by Galerkin's method, with consideration of interlaminar shear deformation. An approximate formula for the wave length is given in terms of cord angle, elastic moduli of the constituent rubber and steel cord, and several structural dimensions. The calculated wave length for a 165SR13 automobile tire with steel breakers (belts) was very close to experimental results. An additional study was then conducted on the post-buckling behavior of a laminated biased composite beam on an elastic foundation. This beam is subjected to axial compression. The calculated relationship between the buckled wave rise and the compressive membrane force also agreed well with experimental results.

Generalised Beam Theory

A 2nd order inelastic Generalised Beam Theory (GBT) formulation based on the J2 flow theory is proposed, being a promising alternative to the shell finite element method. Its application is illustrated for an I-section beam and a lipped-C column. GBT results were validated against ABAQUS, namely concerning equilibrium paths, deformed configurations, and displacement profiles. It was concluded that the GBT modal nature allows (i) precise results with only 22% of the number of dof required in ABAQUS, as well as (ii) the understanding (by means of modal participation diagrams) of the behavioral mechanics in any elastoplastic stage of member deformation .
