    Analytical solutions using a higher-order refined theory for the static analysis of functionally graded material plates
    (2013) Swaminathan, K.; Naveenkumar, D.T.
    Analytical formulations and solutions to the static analysis of simply supported Functionally Graded Material (FGM) plates hitherto not reported in the literature based on a higherorder refined shear deformation theory with nine degrees-of-freedom already reported in the literature are presented. This computational model incorporates the plate deformations which account for the effect of transverse shear deformation. The transverse displacement is assumed to be constant throughout the thickness. In addition, another higher order theory with five degrees-offreedom and the first order theory already reported in the literature are also considered for comparison. The governing equations of equilibrium using all the computational models are derived using the Principle of Minimum Potential Energy (PMPE) and the analytical solutions are obtained in closed-form using Navier's solution technique. A simply supported plate with SS-1 boundary conditions subjected to transverse loading is considered for all the problems under investigation. The varying parameters considered are the side-to-thickness ratio, power law function, edge ratio and the degree of anisotropy. Correctness of the formulation and the solution method is first established and then extensive numerical results using all the models are presented which will serve as a bench mark for future investigations. © (2013) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

    Free vibration analysis of single and multilayered sandwich FGM plates-assessment of higher order refined theories
    (2014) Swaminathan, K.; Naveenkumar, D.T.
    Analytical formulations and solutions for natural frequency analysis of functionally graded material (FGM) plates based on two higher-order refined shear deformation theories with 9 and 12 degrees-of-freedom are presented. The displacement model with 12 degrees-of-freedom considers the effect of both transverse shear and normal strain/stress while the other considers only the effect of transverse shear deformation. In addition another higher-order model and the firstorder model developed by other investigators and available in the literature are also presented for the evaluation purpose. For mathematical modeling purposes, the Poisson's ratio of the material is considered as constant whereas Young's modulus is assumed to vary through the thickness according to the power law function. The equations of motion are derived using Hamilton's principle. Solutions are obtained in closed-form using Navier's technique and solving the eigenvalue equation. The accuracy of the theoretical formulations and the solution method using the present two higher-order refined models is first established by comparing the results generated in the present investigation with the 3D elasticity solutions already reported in the literature. After establishing the accuracy of predictions, benchmark results for the natural frequencies using all the four models are presented for single layer FGM plate and multi layered FGM sandwich plate with varying edge ratios and side-to-thickness ratios. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

    Linear thermal buckling and free vibration analysis are presented for functionally graded cylindrical shells with clamped-clamped boundary condition based on temperature-dependent material properties. The material properties of functionally graded materials (FGM) shell are assumed to vary smoothly and continuously across the thickness. With high-temperature specified on the inner surface of the FGM shell and outer surface at ambient temperature, 1D heat conduction equation along the thickness of the shell is applied to determine the temperature distribution; thereby, the material properties based on temperature distribution are made available for thermal buckling and free vibration analysis. First-order shear deformation theory along with Fourier series expansion of the displacement variables in the circumferential direction are used to model the FGM shell. Numerical studies involved the understanding of the influence of the power-law index, r/h and l/r ratios on the critical buckling temperature. Free vibration studies of FGM shells under elevated temperature show that the fall in natural frequency is very drastic for the mode corresponding to the lowest natural frequency when compared to the lowest buckling temperature mode. © 2005 Elsevier Ltd.

    Bending of sandwich plates with anti-symmetric angle-ply face sheets - Analytical evaluation of higher order refined computational models
    (2006) Swaminathan, K.; Patil, S.S.; Nataraja, M.S.; Mahabaleswara, K.S.
    The aim of the present study is to assess the accuracy of the few computational models based on various shear deformation theories in predicting the bending behaviour of sandwich plates with anti-symmetric angle-ply face sheets under static loading. Five two-dimensional models available in the literature are used for the present evaluation. The performance of the various models is evaluated on a simply supported laminated plate under sinusoidal loading. The equations of equilibrium are derived using the principle of minimum potential energy (PMPE). Analytical solution method using double Fourier series approach is used in conjunction with the admissible boundary conditions. The accuracy of each model is established by comparing the results of composite plates with the exact solutions already available in the literature. After establishing the correctness of the theoretical formulations and the solution method, benchmark results for transverse displacement, in-plane stresses, moment and shear stress resultants are presented for the multilayer sandwich plates. © 2006 Elsevier Ltd.

    Higher order refined computational model with 12 degrees of freedom for the stress analysis of antisymmetric angle-ply plates - analytical solutions
    (2007) Swaminathan, K.; Patil, S.S.
    Analytical formulations and solutions for the stress analysis of simply supported antisymmetric angle-ply composite and sandwich plates hitherto not reported in the literature based on a higher order refined computational model with twelve degrees of freedom already reported in the literature are presented. The theoretical model presented herein incorporates laminate deformations which account for the effects of transverse shear deformation, transverse normal strain/stress and a nonlinear variation of in-plane displacements with respect to the thickness coordinate thus modelling the warping of transverse cross sections more accurately and eliminating the need for shear correction coefficients. In addition, two higher order computational models, one with nine and the other with five degrees of freedom already available in the literature are also considered for comparison. The equations of equilibrium are obtained using Principle of Minimum Potential Energy (PMPE). Solutions are obtained in closed form using Navier's technique by solving the boundary value problem. Accuracy of the theoretical formulations and the solution method is first ascertained by comparing the results with that already available in the literature. After establishing the accuracy of the solutions, numerical results with real properties using all the computational models are presented for the stress analysis of multilayer antisymmetric angle-ply composite and sandwich plates, which will serve as a benchmark for future investigations. © 2006.

    Higher order refined computational models for the free vibration analysis of antisymmetric angle ply plates
    (2008) Swaminathan, K.; Patil, S.S.
    Analytical formulations using two higher order refined displacement models have been developed and solutions presented for the first time to the natural frequency analysis of antisymmetric angle-ply composite and sandwich plates. These computational models already reported in the literature are based on Taylor's series expansion of the displacements in the thickness coordinate and consider the realistic parabolic distribution of transverse shear strains through the laminate thickness. One of them, with 12 degrees of freedom, considers the effects of both transverse shear and normal strain/stress while the other with 9 degrees of freedom includes only the effect of transverse shear deformation. In addition to above, a few higher order models and the first order model developed by other investigators and available in the literature are also considered for the evaluation. A simply supported plate is considered throughout as a test problem. The equations of motion are obtained using Hamilton's principle. Solutions are obtained in closed form using Navier's technique by solving the eigenvalue equation. Plates with varying slenderness ratios, number of layers, fiber orientations, degrees of anisotropy, edge ratios and thickness of core to thickness of face sheet ratios are considered for the analysis. Accuracy of the theoretical formulations and the solution method is first ascertained by comparing the results with those already available in the literature. After establishing the accuracy of the solutions, extensive numerical results are presented for the free vibration analysis of multilayer antisymmetric angle-ply composite and sandwich plates using all the models, which will serve as a benchmark for future investigations. © SAGE Publications 2008.

    Static analysis of functionally graded beams using higher order shear deformation theory
    (2008) Kadoli, R.; Akhtar, K.; Ganesan, N.
    Displacement field based on higher order shear deformation theory is implemented to study the static behavior of functionally graded metal-ceramic (FGM) beams under ambient temperature. FGM beams with variation of volume fraction of metal or ceramic based on power law exponent are considered. Using the principle of stationary potential energy, the finite element form of static equilibrium equation for FGM beam is presented. Two stiffness matrices are thus derived so that one among them will reflect the influence of rotation of the normal and the other shear rotation. Numerical results on the transverse deflection, axial and shear stresses in a moderately thick FGM beam under uniform distributed load for clamped-clamped and simply supported boundary conditions are discussed in depth. The effect of power law exponent for various combination of metal-ceramic FGM beam on the deflection and stresses are also commented. The studies reveal that, depending on whether the loading is on the ceramic rich face or metal rich face of the beam, the static deflection and the static stresses in the beam do not remain the same. © 2007 Elsevier Inc.

    Stress analysis of SUS 304 - Ceramics functionally graded beams using third order shear deformation theory
    (2008) Akhtar, K.; Kadoli, R.
    Kinematics for moderately thick rectangular beams satisfying zero shear strain on the top and bottom . surfaces is utilized to define the strain displacement relations involving the membrane, bending and higher order of displacements. Strain energy containing shear rotation term is deduced. The principle of stationary potential energy is used to obtain the static finite element equilibrium equations for the FGM (functionally graded material) beam with a uniformly distributed transverse load. FGM beams with continuous and smooth grading of metal and ceramics based on po wer law index are considered for the study. Equivalent single layer approach is followed for the evaluation of the constitutive matrix of the FGM beam. Numerical results are presented on the axialstresses and shear stresses in SUS304-Al3O3, SUS 304-ZrO2 and SUS 304-Si3N4FGM beams with clamped-clamped and simply supported boundary conditions. The effect of volume fraction of ceramic and metal on the nature of stress distribution through the thickness are investigated. The studies reveal that, the magnitude and distribution profile of static stresses in the beam depends on the power law index and also on the nature of load bearing surface, ie, whether the loading is on the ceramic rich face of the beam or metal rich face.

    Stress analysis of Antisymmetric angle ply sandwich plates- analytical evaluation of refined higher order shear deformation theories
    (CAFET INNOVA Technical Society 1-2-18/103, Mohini Mansion, Gagan Mahal Road, Domalguda, Hyderabad 500029, 2011) Swaminathan, K.; Sangwai, G.R.
    In this paper two refined higher order computational models with 9 DOF and 12 DOF are considered. Analytical formulation developed and solutions obtained for the first time using these models for the stress analysis of antisymmetric angle ply sandwich plate. In addition, higher order model proposed by Reddy and the first order model already reported in the literature are also considered for the evaluation. A simply supported plate with SS-2 boundary conditions is considered for the analysis. The equations of equilibrium are obtained using Principle of Minimum Potential Energy (PMPE). Solutions are obtained in closed form using Navier’s technique. In-plane stresses are computed using the three dimensional constitutive relationships and the transverse stresses by post processing technique. Extensive numerical results using all the models are compared with 3D elasticity solutions already available in the literature to decide the accuracy of model. After establishing accuracy of the solution method benchmark results and comparison of solutions are presented for multilayer sandwich plates. It is observed that ESL models with twelve DOF are accurate, efficient and simple. © 2011 CAFET-INNOVA TECHNICAL SOCIETY. All rights reserved.
