AbstractRecently, basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) is acknowledged as an outstanding material for the strengthening of existing concrete structure, especially it was being used in marine vehicles, aerospace, automotive and nuclear engineering. Most of the structures were subjected to severe dynamic loading during their service life that may induce vibration of the structures. However, free vibration studied on the basalt laminates composite plates with elliptical cut-out and correlation of natural frequency with buckling load has been very limited. Therefore, effects of the elliptical hole on the natural frequency of basalt/epoxy composite plates was performed in this study. Effects of stacking sequence (θ), elliptical hole inclination (ϕ), hole geometric ratio (a/b) and position of the elliptical hole were considered. The numerical modeling of free vibration analysis was based on the mechanical properties of BFRP obtained from the experiment. The natural frequencies as well as mode shapes of basalt laminates composite plates were numerically determined using the commercial program software (ABAQUS). Then, the determination of correlation of natural frequencies with buckling load was carried out. Results showed that elliptical hole inclination and fiber orientation angle induced the inverse proportion between natural frequency and buckling load.

The aim of this study is to investigate, experimentally and numerically, the change of critical buckling load in composite plates with different ply numbers, orientation angles, stacking sequences and boundary conditions as a function of temperature. Buckling specimens have been removed from the composite plate with glass-fibre reinforcement at [0°]i and [45°]i (i= number of ply). First, the mechanical properties of the composite material were determined at different temperatures, and after that, buckling experiments were done for those temperatures. Then, numerical solutions were obtained by modelling the specimens used in the experiment in the Ansys10 finite elements package software. The experimental and numerical results are in very good agreement with each other. It was found that the values of the buckling load at [0°] on the composite plates are higher than those of other angles. Besides, symmetrical and anti-symmetrical conditions were examined to see the effect of the stacking sequence on buckling and only numerical solutions were obtained. It is seen that the buckling load reaches the highest value when it is symmetrical in the cross-ply stacking sequence and it is anti-symmetrical in the angle-ply stacking sequence.

This paper proposes an optimization procedure for maximization of the biaxial buckling load of laminated composite plates using the gradient-based interior-point optimization algorithm. The fiber orientation angle and the thickness of each lamina are considered as continuous design variables of the problem. The effect of the number of layers, fiber orientation angles, thickness and length to thickness ratios on the buckling load of the laminated composite plates under biaxial compression is investigated. The effectiveness of the optimization procedure in this study is compared with previous works.

In this study, a buckling analysis is performed on rectangular composite plates with single and double circular notch using the finite element method. Laminated plates of carbon/bismaleimde (IM7/5250-4) are ordered symmetrically as follows [(θ/-θ)2]S. The buckling strength of symmetric laminated plates subjected to uniaxial compression is highlighted as a function of the fibers orientations. The results show that whatever the notch radius, the buckling load is almost stable. Increasing the degree of anisotropy significantly improves critical buckling load.

In this study, the structural optimization of laminated composite plates for maximum buckling load capacity is performed by using genetic algorithm. The composite plate under consideration is a 64-ply laminate made of graphite/epoxy, is simply supported on four sides, and subject to in-plane compressive static loads. The critical buckling loads are determined for several load cases and different plate aspect ratios using 2-ply stacks of 02, ±45, 902. The problem has multiple global solutions, the results of which are compared with previously published results.

AbstractCutouts such as circular, rectangular, square, elliptical, and triangular shapes are generally used in composite plates as access ports for mechanical and electrical systems, for damage inspection, to serve as doors and windows, and sometimes to reduce the overall weight of the structure. This paper addresses the effects of different cutouts on the buckling behavior of plates made of polymer matrix composites. To study the effects of cutouts on buckling, loaded edges are taken as fixed and unloaded edges are taken as free. Finite element analysis is also performed to predict the effects of different geometrical cutouts, orientations, and position of cutouts on the buckling behavior. The results show that fiber orientation angle and cutout sizes are the most important parameters on the buckling loads. For all types of cutouts the buckling loads decrease dramatically by increasing the fiber orientation angle. It is observed that minimum buckling load is reached when 45° fiber angle is used, and after this angle critical buckling load begins to increase. Also, it is concluded that while fiber orientation angle is 0°, elliptical cutout has the highest buckling load and while fiber orientation angle is 45°, circular cutout has the highest buckling load.
