Element Method

The buried pipelines or vessels and other similar structures made of homogeneous or advanced composite materials are commonly used in civil engineering and biotechnology. The radial stability problem of these structures was widely studied using the cylindrical shell model over the past years. In this paper, the linear stability of cylindrical shells resting on Winkler elastic foundation under uniformly distributed external pressure was analyzed with semi-analytical quadrature element method (QEM). As for the longitudinal direction, the radial deflection of shell was approximated by the quadrature element formulation. While the analytic trigonometric function was adopted for description of radial deflection in circumferential direction. The Numerical results of critical buckling load were compared with the semi-analytical FEM. It is found that the semi-analytical QEM possesses higher computational efficiency and applicability than semi-analytical FEM. Then, the effects of the shell length, radius, and thickness on the critical buckling pressures are systematically investigated through the parametric studies.

Dynamic Case

This paper is concerned with analysis of dynamic behavior of an Euler-Bernoulli beam resting on an elastic foundation. The beam is assumed to be subjected to a uniformly distributed lateral static load, have an initial quarter-sine shape deflection. At one end, the beam is assumed to be restrained by a pin, while at the other end, the beam is assumed to be restrained by a torsional and a translational linear spring. The beam is modeled by a nonlinear partial differential equation where the nonlinearity enters the governing equation through the beam axial force. In the static case, because of a unique feature of governing equation, the analysis was carried out using the theory of linear differential equations, but takes into account the effect of actual deflection on the induced axial thrust. In the dynamic case, stability analysis of the beam is carried out by calculating the nonlinear frequencies of free vibration of the beam about its static equilibrium configuration. The assumed mode method is used to discretize and find an equivalent nonlinear initial value problem. Then the harmonic balance is used to obtain an approximate solution to the nonlinear oscillator described by the equivalent initial value problem. The analyses of results were carried out for a selected range of values of the system parameters: foundation elastic stiffness, lateral load, and maximum beam edge deflection. In the static case the results are presented as characteristic curves showing the variation of the beam static deflection and associated bending moment distribution with each of the above system parameters. In the dynamic case, the presented characteristic curves show the variation of the nonlinear natural frequency corresponding to the first and the second modes over a range of each of the above system parameters.

Peridynamic Model

AbstractIn this study, a peridynamic model is presented for a Mindlin plate resting on a Winkler elastic foundation. In order to achieve static and quasi-static loading conditions, direct solution of the peridynamic equations is utilised by directly assigning inertia terms to zero rather than using widely adapted adaptive dynamic relaxation approach. The formulation is verified by comparing against a finite element solution for transverse loading condition without considering damage and comparing against a previous study for pure bending of a Mindlin plate with a central crack made of polymethyl methacrylate material having negligibly small elastic foundation stiffness. Finally, the fracture behaviour of a pre-cracked Mindlin plate rested on a Winkler foundation subjected to transverse loading representing a floating ice floe interacting with sloping structures. Similar fracture patterns observed in field observations were successfully captured by peridynamics.

AbstractThis article deals with free vibration of the variable cross-section (non-uniform) single-layered graphene nano-ribbons (SLGNRs) resting on Winkler elastic foundation using the Differential Quadrature Method (DQM). Here characteristic width of the cross-section is varied exponentially along the length of the nano-ribbon while the thickness of the cross section is kept constant. Euler–Bernoulli beam theory in conjunction with Eringen nonlocal elasticity theory is considered in this study. The numerical as well as graphical results are reported by using MATLAB codes developed by authors. Convergence of present method is explored and our results are compared with known results available in literature showing excellent agreement. Further, effects various parameters on frequency parameters are studied comprehensively.
