V.V. Zozulya (2017)

Curved and Layered Structures

Similarity:

New models for plane curved rods based on linear couple stress theory of elasticity have been developed.2-D theory is developed from general 2-D equations of linear couple stress elasticity using a special curvilinear system of coordinates related to the middle line of the rod as well as special hypothesis based on assumptions that take into account the fact that the rod is thin. High order theory is based on the expansion of the equations of the theory of elasticity into Fourier series...

Curved composite beam with interlayer slip loaded by radial load

István Ecsedi, Ákos József Lengyel (2015)

Curved and Layered Structures

Similarity:

Elastic two-layer curved composite beam with partial shear interaction is considered. It is assumed that each curved layer separately follows the Euler-Bernoulli hypothesis and the load slip relation for the flexible shear connection is a linear relationship. The curved composite beam at one of the end cross sections is fixed and the other end cross section is subjected by a concentrated radial load. Two cases are considered. In the first case the loaded end cross section is closed by...

Nonlocal theory of curved rods. 2-D, high order, Timoshenko’s and Euler-Bernoulli models

V.V. Zozulya (2017)

Curved and Layered Structures

Similarity:

New models for plane curved rods based on linear nonlocal theory of elasticity have been developed. The 2-D theory is developed from general 2-D equations of linear nonlocal elasticity using a special curvilinear system of coordinates related to the middle line of the rod along with special hypothesis based on assumptions that take into account the fact that the rod is thin. High order theory is based on the expansion of the equations of the theory of elasticity into Fourier series in...

Unilateral contact applications using FEM software

M. Stavroulaki, G. Stavroulakis (2002)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

Nonsmooth analysis, inequality constrained optimization and variational inequalities are involved in the modelling of unilateral contact problems. The corresponding theoretical and algorithmic tools, which are part of the area known as nonsmooth mechanics, are by no means classical. In general purpose software some of these tools (perhaps in a simplified way) are currently available. Two engineering applications, a rubber-coated roller contact problem and a masonry wall, solved with...

Ultimate Longitudinal Strength of Composite Ship Hulls

Xiangming Zhang, Lingkai Huang, Libao Zhu, Yuhang Tang, Anwen Wang (2017)

Curved and Layered Structures

Similarity:

A simple analytical model to estimate the longitudinal strength of ship hulls in composite materials under buckling, material failure and ultimate collapse is presented in this paper. Ship hulls are regarded as assemblies of stiffened panels which idealized as group of plate-stiffener combinations. Ultimate strain of the plate-stiffener combination is predicted under buckling or material failure with composite beam-column theory. The effects of initial imperfection of ship hull and eccentricity...

Analysis of Smart Piezo-Magneto-Thermo-Elastic Composite and Reinforced Plates: Part II – Applications

D. A. Hadjiloizi, A.L. Kalamkarov, Ch. Metti, A. V. Georgiades (2014)

Curved and Layered Structures

Similarity:

A comprehensive micromechanical model for the analysis of a smart composite piezo-magneto-thermoelastic thin plate with rapidly varying thickness is developed in Part I of thiswork. The asymptotichomogenization model is developed using static equilibrium equations and the quasi-static approximation of Maxwell’s equations. The work culminates in the derivation of general expressions for effective elastic, piezoelectric, piezomagnetic, dielectric permittivity and other coefficients. Among...

Fracture mechanics as applied to plain and reinforced concrete with particular reference to scaling of experimental data

Crescentino Bosco, Alberto Carpinteri (1990)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

Similarity:

Whereas in elasticity and plasticity geometrically similar structures behave in the same way, when strain-softening and strain-localization are taken into account the structural behaviour ranges from ductile to brittle merely by increasing size and keeping material properties and geometrical shape unchanged. The size-scale of plain and reinforced concrete elements has often revealed a fundamental influence on the global structural behaviour. This has been theoretically predicted and...

Flexural strengthening of Reinforced Concrete (RC) Beams Retrofitted with Corrugated Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) Laminates

Curved and Layered Structures

Similarity:

Strengthening the structural members of old buildings using advanced materials is a contemporary research in the field of repairs and rehabilitation. Many researchers used plain Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) sheets for strengthening Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams. In this research work, rectangular corrugated GFRP laminates were used for strengthening RC beams to achieve higher flexural strength and load carrying capacity. Type and dimensions of corrugated profile were selected...
