Random System Properties

This paper deals with second-order statistics of buckling temperature of shear deformable laminated composite plates resting on elastic foundation with random system properties. The temperature field is assumed to be a uniform distribution over the plate surface and through the plate thickness. The material properties are assumed to be independent of temperature. Based on the higher-order deformation theory, C0 finite element in conjunction with mean-centered first-order perturbation technique is proposed and applied to derive the random thermal eigenvalue problems. A detailed parametric study is carried out to highlight the sensitivity of the response. The results are compared with existing and Monte Carlo simulation.

Uncertainties in system properties are inherent in all engineering materials. This paper presents the second-order statistics of thermal buckling response of shear deformable laminated composite plate resting on elastic foundation with random system properties under nonuniform tent-like temperature distribution. The mathematical model based on higher-order shear deformation theory [HSDT] is presented. A C0 finite element method in conjunction with first-order perturbation technique is employed to derive the second-order statistics (mean and the standard deviation) of the thermal buckling temperature under nonuniform tent-like temperature distribution. Numerical results have been compared with available results in literatures and independent Monte Carlo simulation.
