Laminated Structures

In many engineering applications, such as civil, mechanical and aerospace, large displacements and rotations may occur within the working composite structures, due to the extreme loading conditions that may occur during service. This afflicts the equilibrium states of the structures and could change them, eventually, in a catastrophic manner. Therefore, it may be necessary to predict the nonlinear stress conditions of the laminated structures through numerical simulation, in order to prevent the failure of the entire system. To take into account these conditions, a geometrical nonlinear analysis has to be performed. The nonlinear framework proposed in this work is based on the Carrera Unified Formulation (CUF). CUF is a hierarchical formulation that considers the order of the structural model as an input of the analysis, so that no specific formulations are needed to obtain any refined model. The possibility to generate high-order structural elements makes possible to analyze any loading cases, including the post-buckling situation. Furthermore, this methodology allows to evaulate of the full three-dimensional stress tensor in laminated structures. In fact, as CUF is able to calculate the stiffness matrix in an automatic manner, there is no need to include any simplification to evaluate the out-of-plane components of the stress tensor.

Shape memory alloys are used in composite structures due to their shape memory effect and phase transformation. The recovery force of the shape memory alloy improves the post-buckling behavior of the structure. In this study, the thermal buckling and post-buckling of Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) hybrid composite laminated beam subjected to uniform temperature distribution is investigated. To this purpose, considering Von-Karman non-linear strain terms for large deformation, the non-linear equations of SMA reinforced beam based on Reddy Bickford theory have been derived. Besides, the recovery stress of the restrained SMA wires during martensitic transformation was calculated based on the one-dimensional constitutive law of the Brinson’s model. A numerical solution using Galerkin’s method has been presented for solving the nonlinear partial differential equations to obtain the critical buckling temperature and transverse deformation of the beam in the post-buckling region in both symmetric and anti-symmetric layups. The effect of SMA volume fraction, pre-strain, the boundary condition of the beam, stacking sequence, and its geometric properties have been studied. The results show that even by adding a small amount of SMA to the composite, the critical buckling temperature increases significantly, and the beam deflection decreases. Besides, using this theory has an evident effect on the anti-symmetric layup, especially for the thick beams.

This paper presents an analytical approach to postbuckling behaviors of functionally graded multilayer nanocomposite plates reinforced by a low content of graphene platelets (GPLs) using the first order shear deformation theory, stress function and von Karman-type nonlinear kinematics and include the effect of an initial geometric imperfection. The weight fraction of GPL nano fillers is assumed to be constant in each individual GPL-reinforced composite (GPLRC). The modified Halpin-Tsai micromechanics model that takes into account the GPL geometry effect is adopted to estimate the effective Young’s modulus of GPLRC layers. The plate is assumed to resting on Pasternak foundation model and subjected to mechanical and thermal loads. The results show the influences of the GPL distribution pattern, weight fraction, geometry, elastic foundations, mechanical and temperature loads on the postbuckling behaviors of FG multilayer GPLRC plates.

Porous Semiconductors

Porous semiconductors represent a relatively new class of materials formed by the selective etching of a single or polycrystalline substrate. Although porous silicon has received considerable attention due to its novel optical properties1, porous layers can be formed in other semiconductors such as GaAs and GaP. These materials are characterised by very high surface area and by electrical, optical and chemical properties that may differ considerably from bulk. The properties depend on the pore morphology, which can be controlled by adjusting the processing conditions and the dopant concentration. A number of novel structures can be fabricated using selective etching. For example, self-supporting membranes can be made by growing pores through a wafer, films with modulated pore structure can be fabricated by varying the applied potential during growth, composite structures can be prepared by depositing a second phase into the pores and silicon-on-insulator structures can be formed by oxidising a buried porous layer. In all these applications the ability to grow nanostructures controllably is critical.
