This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently, a new type of general, multiscale plate theory was developed for application to the analysis of the history-dependent response of laminated plates (Williams). In particular, the history-dependent behavior in a plate was considered to arise from both delamination effects as well as history-dependent material point responses (such as from viscoelasticity, viscoplasticity, damage, etc.). The multiscale nature of the theoretical framework is due to the use of a superposition of both general global and local displacement effects. Using this global-local displacement field the governing equations of the theory are obtained by satisfying the governing equations of nonlinear continuum mechanics referenced to the initial configuration. In order to accomplish the goal of conducting accurate analyses in the history-dependent response regimes the formulation of the theory has been carried out in a sufficiently general fashion that any cohesive zone model (CZM) and any history-dependent constitutive model for a material point can be incorporated into the analysis without reformulation. Recently, the older multiscale theory of Williams has been implemented into the finite element (FE) framework by Mourad et al. and the resulting capabilities where used to shown that in a qualitative sense it is important that the local fields be accurately obtained in order to correctly predict even the overall response characteristics of a laminated plate in the inelastic regime. The goal of this work is to critically examine the predictive capabilities of this theory, as well as the older multiscale theory of Williams and other types of laminated plate theories, with recently developed exact solutions for the response of inelastic plates in cylindrical bending (Williams). These exact solutions are valid for both nonlinear CZMs as well as inelastic material responses obtained from different constitutive theories. In particular, the accuracy with which the different plate theories predict the local and global responses are considered.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The plate theory recently developed by Levinson is extended to laminates. Closed-form solutions of this theory, as well as those of Reissnet-Mindlin plate theory with appropriate shear correction, Seide's discrete-layer plate theory, and Lo, Christensen, and Wu's higher-order theory are all compared with Pagano's elasticity-theory solution for the cases of cylindrical bending of a single orthotropic layer and a symmetric cross-ply (0 deg/90 deg/0 deg) laminate consisting of three equal-thickness layers. Quantities compared are maximum plate deflection, bending stress distribution, and transverse shear stress distribution. (Author).

Book excerpt: A generalized theory for laminated plates with delaminations is used to consider the influence of inelastic deformations on the dynamic behavior of composite plates with delaminations. The laminate model is based on a generalized displacement formulation implemented at the layer level. The delamination behavior can be modeled using any general interfacial fracture law: however, for the current work a linear model is employed. The interfacial displacement jumps are expressed in an internally consistent fashion in terms of the fundamental unknown interfacial tractions. The current theory imposes no restrictions on the size, location, distribution, or direction of growth of the delaminations. The proposed theory is used to consider the inelastic, dynamic response of delaminated plates in cylindrical bending subjected to a ramp and hold type of loading. The individual layers in the current study are assumed to be either titanium or aluminum. The inelastic response of both materials is modeled using the unified viscoplastic theory of Bodner and Partom. It is shown that the presence of both inelastic behavior and delamination can have a significant influence on the plate response. In particular it is shown that these mechanisms are strongly interactive. This result emphasizes the need to consider both mechanisms simultaneously.

Book excerpt: Laminated composite plates and shells are potential candidates for many demanding structural applications. A natural choice of analytical/numerical model for the analysis of such structures are equivalent two-dimensional (2D) plate and shell theories. These types of theories provide an efficient and potentially accurate alternative to the use of a three-dimensional finite element (FE) analysis. To effectively model the behavior of composite structures a plate theory must be able to accurately model a variety of inherent history-dependent phenomena. These phenomena include plasticity, viscoplasticity, viscoelasticity, constituent damage within lamina, delamination, and local (sublaminate) and global buckling of the plate. Delamination and local buckling operate at length scales on the order of the lamina thickness. The global buckling and overall motion of a plate can be associated with dimensions of the order of the laminate thickness. A new type of laminated plate theory is presented. It is based on a generalized displacement framework obtained from a superposition of global and local displacement fields. The functional forms of the global and local displacements are arbitrary. The theory represents a novel two length scale or local-global approach to plate analysis. The theory incorporates delamination and/or nonlinear elastic or inelastic interfacial behavior in a unified fashion through the use of interfacial constitutive relations. The theory accounts for nonlinearities in the von Karman sense to allow for the analysis of buckling behavior. Thus, the theory represents a general framework for obtaining any order and type of displacement based plate theory in the presence of delamination, buckling, and/or nonlinear material behavior as well as the interactions between these effects.

This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The exact solution for the history-dependent behavior of laminated plates subjected to cylindrical bending is presented. The solution represents the extension of Pagano's solution to consider arbitrary types of constitutive behaviors for the individual lamina as well as arbitrary types of cohesive zones models for delamination behavior. Examples of the possible types of material behavior are plasticity, viscoelasticity, viscoplasticity, and damaging. Examples of possible CZMs that can be considered are linear, nonlinear hardening, as well as nonlinear with softening. The resulting solution is intended as a benchmark solution for considering the predictive capabilities of different plate theories. Initial results are presented for several types of history-dependent material behaviors. It is shown that the plate response in the presence of history-dependent behaviors can differ dramatically from the elastic response. These results have strong implications for what constitutes an appropriate plate theory for modeling such behaviors.
