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 laminae in the composite is large; it contains all kinds of deformation modes of the layered composite; its validity range for frequencies and wave numbers may be enlarged by increasing, respectively, the orders of the theory and interface conditions. CM is assessed by comparing its prediction with the exact for the spectra of harmonic waves propagating in various directions of a two-phase periodic layered composite, as well as, for transient dynamic response of a composite slab induced by waves propagating perpendicular and parallel to layering. A good comparison is observed in the results and it is found that the model predicts very well the periodic structure of spectra with passing and stopping bands for harmonic waves propagating perpendicular to layering. In view of the results, the physical significance of Floquet wave number is also discussed in the study. (c) 2006 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

Static and free vibration analyses of small-scale functionally graded beams possessing a variable length scale parameter using different beam theories
Aghazadeh, Reza; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Dağ, Serkan (Elsevier BV, 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 gover...
Multi-scale characterization of particle clustering in discontinuously reinforced composites
CETIN, Arda; Kalkanlı, Ali (Elsevier BV, 2009-06-01)
The applicability of a quantitative characterization scheme for cluster detection in particle reinforced composites is discussed. The method considers the pattern from the perspective of individual particles, so that even in a pattern that globally conforms to a random distribution, micro-scale heterogeneities can be detected. The detected clusters are visualized by kernel surfaces. Results indicate that the presented methodology is an effective discriminator of clusters and can successfully be used for qua...
Mechanical behaviour of Al2O3-ZrO2 minicomposite reinforced glass matrix optomechanical composite
Dericioğlu, Arcan Fehmi (Informa UK Limited, 2003-08-01)
To understand the effect of a 'mesh-structured reinforcement' on the optical and mechanical properties of optomechanical composites, a unidirectional Al2O3 fibre-ZrO2 matrix minicomposite reinforced glass matrix optomechanical composite has been fabricated. By regular alignment of the minicomposites in the glass matrix as part of the 'mesh structure' a high degree of optical transparency is obtained in the composite; this transparency is proportional to its 'optical window' regions. The mesh structured rein...
A modulus gradient model for inhomogeneous materials with isotropic linear elastic constituents
Gülaşık, Hasan; Göktepe, Serdar; Gürses, Ercan (Elsevier BV, 2019-11-01)
The one-dimensional modulus gradient (E-grad) model proposed in Gülaşık et al. (2018) is extended to more general three-dimensional inhomogeneous materials with isotropic linear elastic constituents. In addition to the constitutive equations and balance relations, length scale dependent differential relations for the material parameters of isotropic linear elasticity are provided. The finite element formulation for axisymmetric problems is derived and a model problem of a soft cylindrical rod with a stiff s...
Plastic deformation induced microstructure evolution through gradient enhanced crystal plasticity based on a non-convex Helmholtz energy
Klusemann, Benjamin; Yalçınkaya, Tuncay (Elsevier BV, 2013-09-01)
A gradient crystal plasticity model in the framework of continuum thermodynamics and rate variational formulation is presented for the description of plastic deformation patterning in a system with non-convex energetic hardening. The paper focuses on the extension of the 1D deformation patterning analysis of Yalcinkaya et al. (2011) to 2D for monotonic loading histories. Solution algorithm is based on the simultaneous solution of displacement and plastic slip fields, which have been considered as primary va...
