This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High stiffness and strength, corrosion resistance, and ease of manufacturing have made laminated composites an excellent replacement for isotropic materials. The outstanding properties of composites especially appeal to industries such as the aerospace industry where lightweighting is of great importance. Despite the mentioned advantages, susceptibility to defects is a major drawback in using these materials. Being composed of several layers bonded together using an adhesive material, delamination or debonding of layers is one of the most common flaws in composite laminates. Delamination may drastically impact the mechanical behavior of laminates, especially in unstable conditions. Larger deflections and higher levels of stresses that a laminate experiences in the postbuckling state may, in turn, lead to the growth of a delamination. Given the complications that are caused by delamination, keeping delaminated plates in service requires an in-depth understanding of their postbuckling behavior including the possibility of the growth of the delamination. The objective of this thesis is to develop a comprehensive mathematical and mechanical methodology for accurately predicting the buckling and postbuckling behavior of delaminated composite plates including the fracture mechanical phenomena involved in the postbuckling state. In all the formulations derived in the framework of the new methodology, the deformations of laminates are approximated using the first-order shear deformation theory and the equilibrium equations were derived using the principle of stationary total potential energy and the Ritz method. In both linear buckling and nonlinear postbuckling analyses, the effect of large rotations is incorporated by adopting Von Kármán's approximations of the Green strain tensor. The present thesis work approaches the buckling and postbuckling behavior of delaminated plates through nonlinear analyses. However, conducting nonlinear analyses requires a preliminary knowledge of the potential buckling modes (local, mixed or global) and the loading level at which they may emerge. This preliminary information is used for determining the optimal configuration of imperfections to be incorporated in the nonlinear analyses. In the present work, a novel eigenvalue buckling solution was developed for the required preliminary information. The developed formulation in order to account for the prebuckling stress field nonuniformity caused by in-plane constraints, bases the eigenvalue analysis on a calculated stress field obtained using a prebuckling stress analysis. For interrogating the details of the postbuckling behavior of delaminated plates, a state of the art postbuckling solution is proposed. The proposed methodology uses a new partitioning scheme that splits the delaminated plate using the plane of the delamination. Outside the delaminated regions the bond between the sublaminates is modeled using a penalty function method. The penalty functions model the effect of an extremely thin layer of elastic adhesive gluing the sublaminates together. The use of the penalty function method offers the advantage of providing the distribution of interlaminar traction in the plane of the delamination. Given the availability of interlaminar tractions in the vicinity of the borders of the delaminated region, Irwin's crack closure integrals were integrated into the solution for calculating strain energy release rates corresponding to the three fracture modes separately. Given the importance and the abundant industrial use of curved composite panels especially in the aerospace industries, in an attempt to extend the applicability of the developed methodology to delaminated curved panels, an eigenvalue buckling solution for curved plates subjected to rotational edge restraints is developed. The validity of the deliverable results of each of the pieces of the developed methodology was verified by comparing the results with experimental data and numerical results obtained using finite element analyses.

Book BUCKDEL V 0 9 Users and Theory Manuals

Download or read book BUCKDEL V 0 9 Users and Theory Manuals written by Daniel S. Pipkins and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BUCKDEL, performs geometrically nonlinear analysis of stiffened laminated composite plates with and without delaminations. BUCKDEL allows the user to perform: a linear static solution; a linear buckling (eigenvalue) analysis; and a nonlinear post-buckling analysis through both limit and bifurcation points. There are two finite elements in BUCKDEL; a quasi-conforming triangular laminated plate element based on a refined first order shear theory with seven degrees of freedom per node and a fiber reinforced beam element with seven degrees of freedom per node. The behavior of all materials is assumed to be linearly elastic. The multi-domain modeling method is used for the analysis of laminated plates containing delaminations. In this model, the delaminate, base and the undelaminate are modeled as 3 distinct. On the delamination front, Mindlin's deformation assumption is applied to obtain the relationship between the displacements in the delaminate, base and undelaminate.

Book Buckling and Postbuckling of Laminated Composite Plates with Ply Dropoffs

Download or read book Buckling and Postbuckling of Laminated Composite Plates with Ply Dropoffs written by Marc Thomas DiNardo and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An experimental and analytical investigation was conducted on the buckling and postbuckling behavior of laminated graphite/epoxy plates with ply dropoffs under uniaxial compression. Three types of plates were considered: ply dropoff plates with one or more internal plies terminated along a centerline perpendicular to the loading, flat plates to provide the baseline behavior, and angle change plates where the fiber angle of several plies changes abruptly along the centerline. This latter case isolates the change in material properties without the geometric eccentricities present in ply dropoff plates. An analysis method using a "superelement" formulated with a Rayleigh-Ritz assumed deflection model was developed and utilized to predict the linear buckling response of the plates. Both the experimental and analytical results show that ply dropoffs have a marked effect on plate buckling and postbuckling behavior. In contrast to basic flat plates, plates with ply dropoffs exhibit complex deflection shapes that cannot be characterized by simple modes. The buckling load of these plates was related to the ratio of the longitudinal bending stiffness of the dropped and undropped section of the plates and was bounded by the buckling loads of the flat plates with the layup configurations of the two individual sections. The angle change plates exhibited much of the same behavior seen in the ply dropoff plates but indicated that the change in the other bending stiffnesses can also have an important effect on the buckling behavior.

Book Effective Widths of Compression loaded Plates with a Cutout

Download or read book Effective Widths of Compression loaded Plates with a Cutout written by Mark W. Hilburger and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of the effects of cutouts and laminate construction on the prebuckling and initial postbuckling stiffnesses, and the effective widths of compression-loaded, laminated-composite and aluminum square plates is presented. The effective-width concept is extended to plates with cutouts, and experimental and nonlinear finite-element analysis results are presented. Behavioral trends are compared for seven plate families and for cutout-diameter-to-plate-width ratios up to 0.66. A general compact design curve that can be used to present and compare the effective widths for a wide range of laminate constructions is also presented. A discussion of how the results can be used and extended to include certain types of damage, cracks, and other structural discontinuities or details is given. Several behavioral trends are described that initially appear to be nonintuitive. The results demonstrate a complex interaction between cutout size and plate orthotropy that affects the axial stiffness and effective width of a plate subjected to compression loads.
