Transverse Shear Stresses

An engineering approach to estimation of the transverse shear stresses in layered composites is developed. The technique is based on the well-known D. I. Zhuravsky equation for shear stresses in an isotropic beam upon transverse bending. In general, application of this equation to a composite beam is incorrect due to the heterogeneity of the composite structure. According to the proposed method, at the first stage of its implementation, a transition to the equivalent model of a homogeneous beam is made, for which the Zhuravsky formula is valid. The transition is carried out by changing the shape of the cross section of the beam, provided that the bending stiffness and generalized elastic modulus remain the same. The calculated shear stresses in the equivalent beam are then converted to the stress values in the original composite beam from the equilibrium condition. The main equations and definitions of the method as well as the analytical equation for estimation of the transverse shear stress in a composite beam are presented. The method is verified by comparing the analytical solution and the results of the numerical solution of the problem by finite element method (FEM). It is shown that laminate stacking sequence has a significant impact both on the character and on the value of the transverse shear stress distribution. The limits of the applicability of the developed technique attributed to the conditions of the validity of the hypothesis of straight normal are considered. It is noted that under this hypothesis the shear stresses do not depend on the layer shear modulus, which explains the absence of this parameter in the obtained equation. The classical theory of laminate composites is based on the similar assumptions, which gives ground to use this equation for an approximate estimation of the transverse shear stresses in in a layered composite package.

Maximal Stress

When the transverse shear stress within a surface layer is taken into account, what happens in the deformation of micro- or nanoscale solids? The relevant problems are investigated by analyzing the deformation of a micro- or nanosized solid ellipsoid. The results show that both the stress and the deformation of a micro- or nanosized ellipsoid increase after the transverse shear stress within the surface layer is introduced, and that the maximal stress always occurs at both ends of the long axis of the ellipsoid. Unlike the prediction given by the Gurtin–Murdoch model, the calculation coming from the model of this paper predicts that the micro- or nanosized ellipsoid subjected to hydrostatic pressure contracts radially in the middle section and expands radially on both sides of the middle section. This difference provides an experimental standard to verify two models.

Sandwich Configuration

A system of linear, closed-form stress equations for a steel-concrete-steel sandwich configuration, i.e., the “Composite Ice Wall,” was derived incorporating a formulation of classical beam theory. The stress terms include the longitudinal normal stress, the transverse shear stress and the transverse normal stress. These equations were programmed using Pascal and a parametric study was conducted. Some of the results are included herein. The analytical model produces principal stress contours and centerline deflections very similar to those in the classical beam for comparable pressure loadings.

The Core

Free vibration and buckling of laminated sandwich plate having soft core is studied by using an efficient C0 continuous finite element (FE) model based on higher-order zigzag theory (HOZT). In this theory, the in-plane displacement field for both the face sheets and the core is obtained by superposing a global cubically varying displacement field on a zigzag linearly varying displacement field with a different slope in each layer. The transverse displacement is assumed to be quadratic within the core while it remains constant in the faces beyond the core. The proposed model satisfies the condition of transverse shear stress continuity at the layer interfaces and the zero transverse shear stress condition at the top and bottom of the plate. The nodal field variables are chosen in an efficient manner to overcome the problem of C1 continuity requirement of the transverse displacement. Numerical examples on free vibration and buckling covering different geometric and material features of laminated composite and sandwich plates are presented. Many new results are also presented which should be useful for future research.
