Abstract After some general considerations on the plastic buckling of plates, the plastic buckling stresses are calculated for long plates, subject to longitudinal bending or eccentric compression in their plane, and simply supported at their unloaded edges. The solutions are based on the author’s theory of plastic plate buckling and are obtained by reducing the governing partial differential equation to ordinary finite-difference equations. Second-order finite differences are used, with a spacing equal to one ninth of the plate width. A simple design formula is presented for the plastic reduction factor with which the elastic buckling stress has to be multiplied for obtaining the plastic buckling stress.

A plastic buckling analysis for axially compressed square tubes is described in this paper. Deformation theory is used together with the realistic edge conditions for the panels of the tube introduced in our previous paper (Li and Reid, 1990), referred to hereafter as LR. The results obtained further our understanding of a number of problems related to the plastic buckling of axially compressed square tubes and simply supported rectangular plates, which have remained unsolved hitherto and seem rather puzzling. One of these is the discrepancy between experimental results and the results of plastic buckling analysis performed using the incremental theory of plasticity and the unexpected agreement between the results of calculations based on deformation theory for plates and experimental data obtained from tests conducted on tubes. The non-negligible difference between plates and tubes obtained in the present paper suggests that new experiments should be carried out to provide a more accurate assessment of the predictions of the two theories. Discussion of the results herein also advances our understanding of the compact crushing behavior of square tubes beyond that given in LR. An important conclusion reached is that strain hardening cannot be neglected for the plastic buckling analysis of square tubes even if the degree of hardening is small since doing so leads to an unrealistic buckling mode.

The effect of initial imperfections in geometry on the plastic buckling of simply supported compressed rectangular plates is examined. The analysis, which is based on the application of a Reissner-type variational principle, indicates that the buckling load can be highly imperfection-sensitive; and that a consideration of small imperfections in geometry could provide results which compare favorably with experimental data.

Stainless steel sandwich beams with a corrugated core or a Y-frame core have been tested in three-point bending and the role of the face-sheets has been assessed by considering beams with (i) front-and-back faces present, and (ii) front face present but back face absent. A fair comparison between competing beam designs is made on an equal mass basis by doubling the front face thickness when the back face is absent. The quasi-static, three-point bending responses were measured under simply supported and clamped boundary conditions. For both end conditions and for both types of core, the sandwich beams containing front-and-back faces underwent indentation beneath the mid-span roller whereas Brazier plastic buckling was responsible for the collapse of sandwich beams absent the back face. Three-dimensional finite element (FE) predictions were in good agreement with the measured responses and gave additional insight into the deformation modes. The FE method was also used to study the effect of (i) mass distribution between core and face-sheets and (ii) beam span upon the collapse response of a simply supported sandwich panel. Sandwich panels of short span are plastically indented by the mid-span roller and the panels absent a back face are stronger than those with front-and-back faces present. In contrast, sandwich panels of long span undergo Brazier plastic buckling, and the presence of a back face strengthens the panel.

Energy harvesting methods that use functional materials have attracted interest because they can take advantage of an abundant but underutilized energy source. Most vibration energy harvester designs operate most effectively around their resonant frequency. However, in practice, the frequency band for ambient vibrational energy is typically broad. The development of technologies for broadband energy harvesting is therefore desirable. The authors previously proposed an energy harvester, called a flexible piezoelectric device (FPED), that consists of a piezoelectric film (polyvinylidene difluoride) and a soft material, such as silicon rubber or polyethylene terephthalate. The authors also proposed a system based on FPEDs for broadband energy harvesting. The system consisted of cantilevered FPEDs, with each FPED connected via a spring. Simply supported FPEDs also have potential for broadband energy harvesting, and here, a theoretical evaluation method is proposed for such a system. Experiments are conducted to validate the derived model.
