An analytical model of the strain and stress distributions in a taper-taper adhesive-bonded joint between two composite flat plates has been developed using first-order laminated plate theory. A correction for transverse shear deformation effects was included. The model was derived under the assumption of plane strain in the adherends and consists of eighteen first-order, linear, coupled ordinary differential equations with variable coefficients. The model was solved numerically using the Linear Shooting Method. Finite element models were also developed to verify the results of the analytical model using the COSMOS/M commercial software package.

A model of a taper-taper adhesive-bonded joint under cylindrical bending has been derived using first-order laminated plate theory. Shear correction factors were used to account for transverse shear deformation. A FORTRAN program was written to integrate the resulting system of twelve simultaneous, linear, first-order, differential equations with variable coefficients. The Linear Shooting Method was used to solve the model. A finite element model was developed using the COSMOS/M commercial finite element package to verify the analytical model for a cross-ply laminate. The analytical model results agreed well with the finite element models and predicted peak adhesive stresses within about 2% of the finite element model.

In order to improve the accuracy of in-plane responses of shear deformable composite plate theories, a new laminated plate theory was developed for arbitrary laminate configurations based upon Reissner’s (1984) new mixed variational principle. To this end, across each individual layer, piecewise linear continuous displacements and quadratic transverse shear stress distributions were assumed. The accuracy of the present theory was examined by applying it to the cylindrical bending problem of laminated plates which had been solved exactly by Pagano (1969). A comparison with the exact solutions obtained for symmetric, antisymmetric, and arbitrary laminates indicates that the present theory accurately estimates in-plane responses, even for small span-to-thickness ratios.

In the present work thermal buckling of symmetric cross-ply composite laminates is investigated. In this study, a square plate element is employed for the thermal buckling analysis of composite laminated plates. The maximum buckling temperature of symmetric cross-ply laminates under various sides to thickness ratios, aspect ratios, stacking sequence and boundary condition are studied in detail. The maximum buckling temperature analysis of square composite eight and four layered plates under uniform temperature rise is investigated using the classical laminated plate theory & first order shear deformation theory and material properties (Stiffnesses, Poisson’s ratio and Coefficient of thermal expansion) are considered to be temperature dependent. The classical laminated plate theory and first order shear deformation theory in conjunction with the Rayleigh-Ritz method is used for the evaluation of the thermal buckling parameters of structures made out of graphite fibers with an epoxy matrix. The post-buckling response of symmetrically cross-ply laminated composite plates subjected to a combination of uniform temperature distribution through the thickness and in-plane compressive edge loading is presented. The maximum buckling temperature is obtained from the solution. The computing is done by using MATLAB.

A finite element method is presented for predicting the flutter response of laminated composite panels subjected to moisture concentration and temperature. The analysis accounts for material properties at elevated temperature and moisture concentration. The analysis is based on the first-order approximation to the linear piston theory and laminated plate theory that includes shear deformation. Both rectangular and skew panels are considered. Stability boundaries at moisture concentrations and temperatures for various lamination schemes and boundary conditions are discussed.

Analytical expressions for the effective elastic properties of orthotropic, and laminated plates are presented for represented for representing swage panel subjected to extension and bending. A methodology is described for analyzing the swaged panels as effective, orthotropic flat plates. The equivalent rigidities of the laminated plating are established by matching the in-plane and flexural stiffness of the swage panel with those of the laminated plate. The required properties of the effective plating include the dependent Young’s modulii, shear modulus and Poisson’s ratios for each layer of a multi-layered elastic laminate. Three-ply and five-ply models are developed. This methodology allows for the use of well-known plate theory equations or assessing plate strength and stability. It also allows for the use of large-scale finite element modeling of the panels within conventional simulation packages such as those used for whole-ship structural modeling. The advantage in this analytical approach is to avoid the need for modeling the detailed, fine-scaled swage shell geometry in finite element analyses.

A series of batch tests were performed to study the competition for oxygen by Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter in the nitrification of ammonia in activated sludge. Oxygen uptake rate (OUR) and dynamic (compartment) models describing the process are proposed and tested. The OUR model is described by a Monod relationship and the biogradation process by a set of first order nonlinear differential equations with variable coefficients. The results show a mechanistic model and ten reaction rates are sufficient to capture the interactive behavior of the nitrification process. Methods for model specification, calibrating, and testing the model and the design of additional experiments are described.

The paper deals with numerical modeling of delamination of laminate plate consists of unidirectional fiber reinforced layers. The methodology adopts the first-order shear laminate plate theory and fracture and contact mechanics. There are described sublaminate modeling and delamination modeling by the help of finite element analysis. With the interface modeling there is calculated the energy release rate along the lamination front. Numerical results are given for mixed mode delamination problems by implementing the method in a 2D finite analysis, which utilizes shear deformable plate elements and interface elements. Numerical example is done by the commercial ANSYS code.

Nonlinear oscillations of a simply-supported symmetric cross-ply composite laminated rectangular thin plate are investigated in this paper. The rectangular thin plate is subjected to the transversal and in-plane excitations. Based on the Reddy’s third-order shear deformation plate theory and the stress-strain relationship of the composite laminated plate, a two-degree-of-freedom non-autonomous nonlinear system governing equations of motions for the composite laminated rectangular thin plate is derived by using the Galerkin’s method. Numerical simulations illustrate that there exist complex nonlinear oscillations for composite laminated rectangular thin plate.

We study the oscillatory behaviour of all solutions of first-order neutral equations with variable coefficients. The obtained results extend and improve some of the well-known results in the literature. Some examples are given to show the evidence of our new results.

An exact elasticity solution is developed for a radially nonhomogeneous hollow circular cylinder of exponential Young’s modulus and constant Poisson’s ratio. In the solution, the cylinder is first approximated by a piecewise homogeneous one, of the same overall dimension and composed of perfectly bonded constituent homogeneous hollow circular cylinders. For each of the constituent cylinders, the solution can be obtained from the theory of homogeneous elasticity in terms of several constants. In the limit case when the number of the constituent cylinders becomes unboundedly large and their thickness tends to infinitesimally small, the piecewise homogeneous hollow circular cylinder reverts to the original nonhomogeneous one, and the constants contained in the solutions for the constituent cylinders turn into continuous functions. These functions, governed by some systems of first-order ordinary differential equations with variable coefficients, stand for the exact elasticity solution of the nonhomogeneous cylinder. Rigorous and explicit solutions are worked out for the ordinary differential equation systems, and used to generate a number of numerical results. It is indicated in the discussion that the developed method can also be applied to hollow circular cylinders with arbitrary, continuous radial nonhomogeneity.
