Item Analytical formulations and solutions to the static analysis of simply supported anti-symmetric angle-ply composite and sandwich plates hitherto not reported in the literature based on a higher-order refined theory already reported in the literature are presented. The theoretical model presented herein incorporates laminate deformations, which account for the effect of transverse shear deformation and a non-linear variation of in-plane displacements with respect to the thickness coordinate. The transverse displacement is assumed to be constant throughout the thickness. The equations of equilibrium are obtained using principle of minimum potential energy. 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 reported in the literature. After establishing the accuracy of the solutions, numerical results with real properties are presented for the multilayer antisymmetric angle-ply composite and sandwich plates, which will serve as a benchmark for future investigations. © 2003 Elsevier Ltd.

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.Item 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.

The oblique wave transformation due to the porous block over flat and elevated seabed and the submerged rigid block is presented. Analytical direct formulae are proposed to determine the wave reflection and transmission coefficient for the porous structure considering different configurations like porous block, porous block backed by wall, vertical wall away from the porous block and semi-infinite porous block at flat and elevated seabed. The analytical results for wave interaction with porous structure are presented considering the mode-coupling relation and eigenfunction expansion technique. Further, the significance of the semi-infinite porous block placed on the flat and elevated seabed is studied in detail. The analytical results obtained in the present study are validated with the numerical results available in the literature for specific cases. The significance of the critical angle and skin depth for the semi-infinite structure is explored in the wave structure interaction problems. The comparative study between various structural configurations suggests that, if the ratio of wavelength and width of the structure is greater or equal to unity (d/??1), then the structure can be regarded as semi-infinite porous block for flat and elevated seabed. The derived analytical formulae will be helpful in the preliminary design and analysis of the porous blocks. © 2019, Sociedade Brasileira de Engenharia Naval.Item Hydroelastic analysis of periodic arrays of multiple articulated floating elastic plate(Taylor and Francis Ltd. michael.wagreich@univie.ac.at, 2020) Praveen, K.M.; Karmakar, D.; Guedes Soares, C.The periodic array of multiple articulated floating elastic plate acted upon by ocean waves is analysed considering Timoshenko-Mindlin plate theory. The floating elastic plate is placed periodically and is interconnected with vertical linear and flexural rotational springs which acts as an articulated joint. The hydroelastic behaviour of multiple articulated floating elastic plate is analysed based on eigenfunction expansion method along with the orthogonal mode-coupling relation in finite water depth and the continuity of energy and mass flux are used in the hydroelastic analysis of floating plate at shallow water depth. Further, the application of the wide-spacing approximation (WSA) method is employed to analyse the hydroelastic characteristics of the multiple articulated floating elastic plate. The results obtained using the eigenfunction expansion method is compared with the results based on WSA at finite water depth and validated with the results available in the literature. © 2019, © 2019 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.Item Performance evaluation of submerged breakwater using Multi-Domain Boundary Element Method(Elsevier Ltd, 2021) Patil, S.B.; Karmakar, D.The gravity wave interaction with submerged breakwater of different structural configurations are investigated based on the small-amplitude wave theory. The boundary value problem is analysed in two-dimension using the linearized wave theory in water of finite depth. The submerged breakwater structural configuration such as (i) thin-walled type (impermeable), (ii) rectangular type (impermeable and permeable), (iii) triangular type (impermeable, permeable, perforated), (iv) trapezoidal type (impermeable, permeable, perforated) and (v) Tandem type (impermeable, permeable, perforated) are considered to analyse and performance of the breakwater. The numerical model is developed using the Multi-Domain Boundary Element Method (MDBEM) to analyse the hydrodynamic scattering coefficient (such as reflection, transmission and dissipation coefficient) for the change of physical parameters such as relative spacing between the breakwaters, relative water depth and structural dimensions. The convergence of the present numerical model is performed for the specific case of tandem breakwater and numerical computation is validated with the results available in the literature. The wave reflection and transmission coefficient along with wave force on the structure is analysed for different shapes, structural parameters and geometrical parameters of the breakwater to maximize the efficiency of breakwater. In the case of permeable breakwater, the submerged tandem breakwater is found to be more efficient in wave transformation as compared to rectangular, triangular and trapezoidal permeable submerged breakwaters. The comparative analysis performed on different configurations of the breakwater in the present study will be helpful in the effective design of the breakwater near the harbour regions. © 2021 Elsevier LtdItem Wave trapping due to composite pile-rock structure coupled with vertical barrier(SAGE Publications Ltd, 2023) Sreebhadra, M.N.; Krishna, K.R.A.; Karmakar, D.The wave transformation due to pile-rock porous structure in combination with vertical porous barrier is studied under oblique wave action. The pile-rock breakwaters consists of two rows of closely spaced piles and a rock core between them is effective in dissipating wave energy when compared with traditional rigid breakwaters due to its reduced deadweight of construction materials and additional stability. Three different cases of the vertical barrier configurations such as fully-extended barrier, bottom-standing barrier and surface-piercing barrier placed in front of the pile-rock porous structure are considered for the investigation. The numerical study is performed using the eigenfunction expansion and the associated orthogonal mode-coupling relations considering the continuity of pressure and velocity for the vertical barrier, seaward and leeward structural interfaces. The Darcy’s law is incorporated for the flow through porous media and the porosity factor of the structure is introduced using the complex porous effect parameter. The numerical results for the wave reflection, transmission and dissipation coefficient, wave force on front and rear side of porous structure along with the wave force on the barrier interface are evaluated for different hydraulic characteristics. The analysis is presented for varying structural porosity, angle of incidence, structural thickness, friction factor, length between vertical barrier and porous structure for the three different cconfigurations of vertical barrier. The numerical investigation performed in the present study will be useful for the design and analysis of the composite breakwater system to protect the offshore facility from high waves. © IMechE 2022.Item Differential-integral quadrature numerical solution for free and forced vibration of bidirectional functionally graded Terfenol-D curved beam(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2024) Patil, M.A.; Kadoli, R.; Saraf, S.; Naskar, S.The dynamic behaviour of a bidirectional functionally graded Terfenol-D curved beam under a moving load is the focus of this study. Combined differential and integral quadrature solve the curved beam boundary value problem. A bidirectional functionally graded Terfenol-D curved beam's damping, damped frequencies for different boundary conditions, and mode shapes were examined in free vibration investigations. Based on accessible literature data, the findings are reliable. Furthermore, DQ-IQ numerical technique findings examine the impact of many factors, including control gain, thickness, moving load velocity, bidirectional gradation index, and multi-moving load. © 2023 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.Item Investigation of moving load-induced vibrations in layered functionally graded Terfenol-D beams: a differential quadrature method and analytical approach(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2024) Patil, M.A.; Saraf, S.; Kadoli, R.; Naskar, S.The paper investigates the potential of the full-sinusoidal Fourier series as a solution form for the deflection of layered functionally graded beams associated with smart actuators, drawing on the fundamental principles of classical Fourier series theory. The current method simplifies the difficult beam problem to a set of linear algebraic equations by using the Duhamel integration technique and the orthogonality of the trial function. The study takes into account generalized boundary conditions and moving forces, which are seldom discussed in previous research. Under the action of a moving load, the boundary value problem for a functionally graded beam integrated with Terfenol-D is efficiently addressed using the approach of combined differential and integral quadrature. The generalized boundary conditions may be easily achieved by adjusting the stiffness of the restraining springs. The significant agreement between the differential quadrature solution and the Fourier series solution underlines the efficiency and accuracy of both methods. Furthermore, the influences of various crucial physical characteristics on the natural frequencies and the essential flow velocities are explored, including boundary stiffness, foundation parameters, and geometric parameters. © 2024 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.Item Hydrodynamic analysis of an H-shaped pile-restrained floating breakwater combined with a pair of vertical barriers(Elsevier Ltd, 2024) Panda, A.; Karmakar, D.; Rao, M.The present study analyses the performance of a composite breakwater consisting of an H-shaped breakwater attached with vertical/inclined barriers held from both sides using the Multi-Domain Boundary Element Method (MDBEM). The study is performed to analyse the wave transformation characteristics (reflection and transmission), wave energy dissipation and horizontal wave forces due to the gravity wave-structure interaction. The hydrodynamic performance of the integrated breakwater is performed due to the effect of changing various structural properties such as porosity, width and depth of structural elements, relative spacing between breakwater and barrier, angle of incidence and the inclination of the barriers. The boundary conditions and the corresponding edge conditions are incorporated for each surface and interface and correlated with Green's function to solve the boundary value problem. The detailed study proposes the suitable dimensions of the structural elements of the breakwater for optimal performance. The application of inclined barriers over the vertical barrier in certain conditions for maximising wave reflection is presented and analysed to understand the effectiveness of the barrier inclination. The favourable barrier dimensions and the suitable relative spacing for deep water regions are discussed, and the effect of rigidity and porosity of the barriers are analysed to maximise breakwater performance in wave attenuation. On considering the suitable design parameters and structural stability, the composition of vertical/inclined barriers with an H-shaped pile-restrained floating breakwater serves as a protective component by encountering maximum wave force and dissipating considerable wave energy to provide an efficient solution in harbour protection. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd
