Static and free vibration analyses of small-scale functionally graded beams possessing a variable length scale parameter using different beam theories

2014-07-01
This article puts forward a modified couple stress theory based approach of analysis for small-scale functionally graded beams, that possess a variable length scale parameter. Presented procedures are capable of predicting static and dynamic beam responses according to three different beam theories, namely: Euler - Bernoulli beam theory, Timoshenko beam theory and third-order shear deformation beam theory. A variational method is used in conjunction with the modified couple stress theory to derive the governing partial differential equations. All properties of the small-scale functionally graded beams - including the length scale parameter - are assumed to be functions of the thickness coordinate in the derivations. The governing equations are solved numerically through the use of the differential quadrature method (DQM). Numerical results are generated for small-scale functionally graded beams, that comprise ceramic and metallic materials as constituent phases. Both small-scale beams subjected to static loading and those undergoing free vibrations are considered in the computations. Comparisons of the numerical results to those available in the literature point out that developed techniques lead to results of high accuracy. Further numerical results are provided, which demonstrate the responses of small-scale functionally graded beams estimated by the three different beam theories as well as provide insight into the influences of material parameters upon the static deflections and natural vibration frequencies.

Higher order approximate dynamic models for layered composites
Yalcin, Omer Fatih; Mengi, Yalcin; Turhan, Dogan (Elsevier BV, 2007-05-01)
Based on a higher order dynamic approximate theory developed in the present study for anisotropic elastic plates, two dynamic models, discrete and continuum models (DM and CM), are proposed for layered composites. Of the two models, CM is more important, which is established in the study of periodic layered composites using smoothing operations. CM has the properties: it contains inherently the interface and Floquet conditions and facilitates the analysis of the. composite, in particular, when the number of...
Prediction of forming limit curve at fracture for sheet metal using new ductile fracture criterion
Dizaji, Shahram Abbasnejad; Darendeliler, Haluk; KAFTANOĞLU, BİLGİN (Elsevier BV, 2018-05-01)
The application of ductile fracture criteria (DFCs) in numerical analysis of sheet metal forming processes can lead to the accurate determination of the fracture initiation. In this study, a new uncoupled ductile fracture criterion (DFC) has been developed which considers the effects of material parameters on the forming limit curves (FLCs) and can be easily implemented in the finite element codes. Two different constitutive models have been employed with the new DFC in order to evaluate the results obtaine...
Plane strain analytical solutions for a functionally graded elastic-plastic pressurized tube
Eraslan, Ahmet Nedim (Elsevier BV, 2006-09-01)
Plane strain analytical solutions to functionally graded elastic and elastic-plastic pressurized tube problems are obtained in the framework of small deformation theory. The modulus of elasticity and the uniaxial yield limit of the tube material are assumed to vary radially according to two parametric parabolic forms. The analytical plastic model is based on Tresca's yield criterion, its associated flow rule and ideally plastic material behaviour. Elastic, partially plastic and fully plastic stress states a...
Numerical study on effects of computational domain length on flow field in standing wave thermoacoustic couple
MERGEN, SÜHAN; Yıldırım, Ender; TÜRKOĞLU, HAŞMET (Elsevier BV, 2019-03-01)
For the analysis of thermoacoustic (TA) devices, computational methods are commonly used. In the computational studies found in the literature, the flow domain has been modelled differently by different researchers. A common approach in modelling the flow domain is to truncate the computational domain around the stack, instead of modelling the whole resonator to save computational time. However, where to truncate the domain is not clear. In this study, we have investigated how the simulation results are aff...
A surface crack in a graded coating subjected to sliding frictional contact
Dağ, Serkan; GÜLER, MEHMET ALİ; Gulgec, Mufit (Elsevier BV, 2012-01-01)
This article presents an analytical method developed to conduct fracture analysis of functionally graded coatings that are under the effect of contact stresses. The geometric model considered comprises a functionally graded coating, which possesses a surface crack and is perfectly bonded to a homogeneous half-plane. A two-step solution procedure is put forward in which the contact and crack problems are treated separately. First, the graded coating is assumed to be in sliding frictional contact with a rigid...
