Static and Dynamic Deflection Characteristics of Cracked Porous FG Panels Jainarayan Choudhary, Bhumesh Kumar Patle, Prashik Malhari Ramteke, Chetan Kumar Hirwani, Subrata Kumar Panda, et al. International Journal of Applied Mechanics, 2022 The deflection responses of the cracked porous graded structure under the variable loading conditions (static and dynamic) are investigated numerically with the help of a commercial tool (ABAQUS). The model includes the grading in two different directions (along the thickness and length by setting the relevant volume fraction exponents [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], i.e., of the functionally graded material (FGM) for the analysis purpose. Additionally, different material gradings, i.e., power-law (P-FGM), sigmoid (S-FGM), and exponential (E-FGM), are adopted to achieve the distribution patterns within the FG panel. Further, the porosity and the damage (crack) have been introduced in the graded structural panel. The python scripting language is used to model the FGM plate via the batch input technique, i.e., ABAQUS kernel, instead of the standard GUI interface. The accuracy has been confirmed by validating the results with the published available results, and the applicability is stated through a series of numerical examples by changing input parameters.
Theoretical modelling and experimental verification of modal responses of skewed laminated sandwich structure with epoxy-filled softcore Pankaj V. Katariya, Subrata Kumar Panda, Kulmani Mehar Engineering Structures, 2021 The experimental eigenvalue responses of the epoxy-filled skew sandwich structure are computed first-time in this research to show the suitability of equivalent type single-layer higher-order theory (including through-thickness stretching term effect) for the analysis. The sandwich shell model is formulated mathematically for the variable geometrical configurations considering the effect of skew angles. Further, the motion equation of the vibrated structure is solved numerically with the advent of the linear isoparametric finite element technique. Firstly, the numerical solution accuracy is established by verifying the modal values with the already published data including their element sensitivity test. Also, a few experimental frequencies (first-five mode) are recorded (impact type vibration analyzer) using the in-house fabricated sandwich plate components considering the experimental material properties for the comparison purpose. Moreover, a simulation model is prepared using the commercial package to show the efficacy of the presently proposed single layer theory for the analysis of the sandwich structure with and without the skew angle effect. The present comparison indicates that the proposed equivalent single-layer model is capable of solving the modal responses considering different structural input parameters (number and stacking sequences of the face sheet layers and variable aspect/thickness ratios) with adequate accuracy. Lastly, the verified model is explored to show its applicability by solving different numerical examples due to the change in their basic input parameters affecting the geometry, material properties and the stiffness.
Nonlinear dynamic responses of layered skew sandwich composite structure and experimental validation Pankaj V. Katariya, Kulmani Mehar, Subrata Kumar Panda International Journal of Non Linear Mechanics, 2020 The time-dependent deflection responses of the mechanically excited layered skew sandwich shell panels are computed numerically via a generic model developed mathematically using the higher-order shear deformation theory including the effects of the large displacement. The model includes the large displacements associated with the structural distortion under the small strain regime through Green–Lagrange nonlinear strain kinematics. The derived nonlinear system governing equation is converted to a set of algebraic form with the help of finite element steps. Subsequently, the time-dependent displacement values are computed numerically through the direct iterative technique including Newmark’s integration scheme. The dynamic deflections of the sandwich structural component under the influence of the externally excited mechanical loading are obtained through a generic computer code (developed in MATLAB) via the nonlinear higher-order finite element model. Before the implementation of the proposed model for the sandwich analysis, the solution stability and accuracy have been established by solving different kinds of numerical example from the published domain. Additionally, a few layered sandwich plates of different face sheet layers have been fabricated and the experimental dynamic data are recorded for the comparison purpose with the help of available modal test rig. Finally, the influences of the different structure-dependent design parameters on the nonlinear dynamic responses are investigated using the presently developed numerical model of skew sandwich shell panel, which also reveals that the present results give more accurate results.
Nonlinear deflection responses of layered composite structure using uncertain fuzzified elastic properties B. K. Patle, C. K. Hirwani, S. Panda, P. V. Katariya, H. C. Dewangan, et al. Steel and Composite Structures, 2020 In this article, the influence of fuzzified uncertain composite elastic properties on non-linear deformation behaviour of the composite structure is investigated under external mechanical loadings (uniform and sinusoidal distributed loading) including the different end boundaries. In this regard, the composite model has been derived considering the fuzzified elastic properties (through a triangular fuzzy function, a cut) and the large geometrical distortion (Green-Lagrange strain) in the framework of the higher-order mid-plane kinematics. The results are obtained using the fuzzified nonlinear finite element model via in-house developed computer code (MATLAB). Initially, the model accuracy has been established and explored later to show the dominating elastic parameter affect the deflection due to the inclusion of fuzzified properties by solving a set of new numerical examples.
Thermo-acoustic analysis of higher-order shear deformable laminated composite sandwich flat panel Nitin Sharma, Trupti Ranjan Mahapatra, Subrata Kumar Panda, Pankaj Katariya Journal of Sandwich Structures and Materials, 2020 The acoustic radiation responses of laminated sandwich baffled flat panels subjected to harmonic loading in an elevated thermal environment are investigated via a novel coupled finite and boundary elements formulation based on the higher-order shear deformation shell theory. The structural stiffness and mass tensors are obtained using competent finite element steps engaging the Hamilton’s principle followed by computation of acoustic responses by resolving the Helmholtz partial differential equation. An in-house MATLAB code is developed based on the present formulation for the computation of all the desired responses. The accuracy and robustness of the present scheme are recognized by the close conformance of the critical buckling temperature, natural frequencies and the sound power level values with the available benchmark solutions alongside the values obtained via a simulation model implemented using commercially available finite element (ANSYS) and boundary element (LMS Virtual.Lab) packages. Subsequently, the present model is employed to solve wide variety of numerical illustrations and the useful inferences related to the influence of elevated temperature, core-to-face thickness ratio, core-to face modular ratio and lay-up scheme on the sound emission characteristics of sandwich composite flat panels are deliberated in detail.
Experimental and numerical bending deflection of cenosphere filled hybrid (Glass/Cenosphere/Epoxy) composite H. Pandey, H. Agrawal, S. Panda, C. K. Hirwani, P. V. Katariya, et al. Structural Engineering and Mechanics, 2020 The influence on flexural strength of Glass/Epoxy laminated composite curved panels of different geometries (cylindrical, spherical, elliptical, hyperboloid and flat) due to inclusion of nano cenosphere filler examined in this research article. The deflection responses of the hybrid structure are evaluated numerically using the isoparametric finite element technique and modelled mathematically via higher-order displacement structural kinematics. To predict the deflection values, a customised in-house computer code in MATLAB environment is prepared using the higher-order isoparametric formulation. Subsequently, the numerical model validity has been established by comparing with those of available benchmark solution including the convergence characteristics of the finite element solution. Further, a few cenosphere filled hybrid composite are prepared for different volume fractions for the experimental purpose, to review the propose model accuracy. The experimental deflection values are compared with the finite element solutions, where the experimental elastic properties are adopted for the computation. Finally, the effect of different variable design dependent parameter and the percentages of nano cenosphere including the geometrical shapes obtained via a set of numerical experimentation.
Numerical analysis of thermal post-buckling strength of laminated skew sandwich composite shell panel structure including stretching effect P. V. Katariya, S. Panda Steel and Composite Structures, 2020 The computational post-buckling strength of the tilted sandwich composite shell structure is evaluated in this article. The computational responses are obtained using a mathematical model derived using the higher-order type of polynomial kinematic in association with the through-thickness stretching effect. Also, the sandwich deformation behaviour of the flexible soft-core sandwich structural model is expressed mathematically with the help of a generic nonlinear strain theory i.e. Green-Lagrange type strain-displacement relations. Subsequently, the model includes all of the nonlinear strain terms to account the actual deformation and discretized via displacement type of finite element. Further, the computer code is prepared (MATLAB environment) using the derived higher-order formulation in association with the direct iterative technique for the computation of temperature carrying capacity of the soft-core sandwich within the post-buckled regime. Further, the nonlinear finite element model has been tested to show its accuracy by solving a few numerical experimentations as same as the published example including the consistency behaviour. Lastly, the derived model is utilized to find the temperature load-carrying capacity under the influences of variable factors affecting the soft-core type sandwich structural design in the small (finite) strain and large deformation regime including the effect of tilt angle.
