The purpose of this work is to study nonlinear, snap-through buckling behavior of shallow shells which are made of isotropic and laminated composite materials under general static loading using numerical techniques. In addition to the finite difference computer programs which we developed for this special purpose, the general pur-pose computer program ANSYS has also been used. The special purpose programs that we have developed make use of the governing equations, which are in terms of the displacement components, of the isotropic and laminated composite shells. Effects of isotropic and laminated composite materials on the nonlinear behaviour of the shells ale investigated and the results obtained from the finite difference programs and from ANSYS have been compared for the two types of materials considered. Apparently because of the high order of the derivatives in the governing equations, numerical imperfection (inaccuracy) problems have arised in the solution. To eliminate these problems, the order of the derivatives has been lowered. In addition. various finite difference grid definitions have been applied around apex which turned out to be the most problematic region of the problem under consideration.

Development of a shell finite element for large deformation analysis of laminated composites
Yıldız, Tuba; Darendeliler, Haluk; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2008)
The objective of the present work is to investigate the behavior of laminated fiber -reinforced polymer matrix composite shell structures under bending load with the help of a modified finite element computer code which was previously developed for the analysis of pseudo-layered single material shells. The laminates are assumed to be orthotropic and the formulation is adapted to first order shear deformation theory. The aim is to determine the large deformation characteristics numerically, and to predict th...
Exact solution of rotating FGM shaft problem in the elastoplastic state of stress
Akis, Tolga; Eraslan, Ahmet Nedim (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-10-01)
Plane strain analytical solutions to estimate purely elastic, partially plastic and fully plastic deformation behavior of rotating functionally graded (FGM) hollow shafts are presented. The modulus of elasticity of the shaft material is assumed to vary nonlinearly in the radial direction. Tresca's yield criterion and its associated flow rule are used to formulate three different plastic regions for an ideal plastic material. By considerina different material compositions as well as a wide range of bore radi...
Numerical analysis of ablation process on a two dimensional external surface
Aykan, Fatma Serap; Dursunkaya, Zafer; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2005)
The thermal response analysis of an ablative material on a two dimensional external surface is performed. The method is applied to both rectangular and cylindrical coordinate systems, where rectangular coordinate system is used for comparison with results available in literature. The current study solves the decomposition of the material at high temperatures by using the nth order Arrhenius equation but excludes the removal of char from the surface due to mechanical erosion or phase change and considers tha...
On the plane strain and plane stress solutions of functionally graded rotating solid shaft and solid disk problems
Eraslan, Ahmet Nedim (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2006-01-01)
Closed form solutions to functionally graded rotating solid shaft and rotating solid disk problems are obtained under generalized plane strain and plane stress assumptions, respectively. The nonhomogeneity in the material arises from the fact that the modulus of elasticity of the material varies radially according to two different continuously nonlinear forms: exponential and parabolic. Both forms contain two material parameters and lead to finite values of the modulus of elasticity at the center. Analytica...
On efficient use of simulated annealing in complex structural optimization problems
Hasançebi, Oğuzhan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2002-01-01)
The paper is concerned with the efficient use of simulated annealing (SA) in structural optimization problems of high complexity. A reformulation of the working mechanism of the Boltzmann parameter is introduced to accelerate and enhance the general productivity of SA in terms of convergence reliability. Two general and complementary parameters, referred as "weighted Boltzmann parameter" and "critical Boltzmann parameter," are proposed, Several alternative methodologies are suggested for these two parameter...
