Item Buckling and vibration behavior of a non-uniformly heated isotropic cylindrical panel(Techno-Press, 2016) Bhagat, V.S.; Jeyaraj, P.; Murigendrappa, S.M.This study attempts to address the buckling and free vibration characteristics of an isotropic cylindrical panel subjected to non-uniform temperature rise using numerical approach. Finite element analysis has been used in the present study. The approach involves three parts, in the first part non-uniform temperature field is obtained using heat transfer analysis, in the second part, the stress field is computed under the thermal load using static condition and, the last part, the buckling and pre-stressed modal analysis are carried out to compute critical buckling temperature as well as natural frequencies and associated mode shapes. In the present study, the effect of non-uniform temperature field, heat sink temperatures and in-plane boundary constraints are considered. The relation between buckling temperature under uniform and non-uniform temperature fields has been established. Results revealed that decrease (Case (ii)) type temperature variation field influences the fundamental buckling mode shape significantly. Further, it is observed that natural frequencies under free vibration state, decreases as temperature increases. However, the reduction is significantly higher for the lowest natural frequency. It is also found that, with an increase in temperature, nodal and anti-nodal positions of free vibration mode shapes is shifting towards the location where the intensity of the heat source is high and structural stiffness is low. © © 2016 Techno-Press, Ltd.Item Thermal buckling and vibro-acoustic behaviour of functionally graded graphene polymer layered composites subjected to in-plane temperature variance(SAGE Publications Ltd, 2022) John, B.O.; Hassan, F.U.; George, N.; Chacko, T.; Bhagat, V.S.; Jeyaraj, J.; Kiran Kumar Reddy, R.The current study reports the thermal buckling, vibration and acoustic characteristics of functionally graded graphene polymer layer composite plates subjected to the in-plane temperature variance. The macroscopic properties of the composites are evaluated using the modified rule of mixtures to compute the layer-wise properties of an functionally graded graphene polymer layer composite plate. The critical buckling temperature is computed and compared for various functional gradings, boundary conditions and in-plane temperature variances. The in-plane temperature variance showed a major impact on the critical thermal buckling temperature and respective mode shapes. The vibro-acoustic behaviour of the functionally graded graphene polymer layer composite plate is investigated and documented keeping critical buckling temperature as a function. With an increase in thermal load and the nature of in-plane temperature variance, the vibro-acoustic results showed significant difference in velocity and acoustic response. For functionally graded graphene polymer layer composite plate with one free edge, the difference was statistically significant as indicated by an octave band plot. We conclude that the portion of the functionally graded graphene polymer layer composite plate that is subjected to the higher temperature in an in-plane temperature variance, as well as the nature of the boundary conditions may exacerbate the effect of in-plane temperature variance and are crucial in predicting vibro-acoustic characteristics. © IMechE 2022.
