A new analytical approach to the nonlinear buckling and postbuckling behavior of functionally graded graphene reinforced composite laminated cylindrical, parabolic, and half-sinusoid shallow imperfect panels

Chúng tôi vui mừng thông báo rằng PGS. TS. Nguyễn Thị Phương và các đồng nghiệp gần đây đã xuất bản công trình của họ có tựa đề "A new analytical approach to the nonlinear buckling and postbuckling behavior of functionally graded graphene reinforced composite laminated cylindrical, parabolic, and half-sinusoid shallow imperfect panels"  trên tạp chí Polymer Composites.

Tóm tắt:

This paper presents and analyzes the nonlinear buckling responses of three types of shallow imperfect panels (cylindrical panel, parabolic panel, and half-sinusoid panel) made from functionally graded graphene reinforced composite (FG-GRC) on nonlinear elastic foundations subjected to axial compressive load in thermal environments. The nonlinear governing equations are formulated on Reddy's higher-order shear deformation shell theory (HSDST) and take into account von Karman-type nonlinearity. A new approximation technique to determine the stress function in average sense is developed and Galerkin's method is used to obtain the algebraically nonlinear equation system. Then, the simple calculation process can be used to solve the obtained equation systems, and the formulations to calculate the critical buckling loads and postbuckling load-deflection curves are expressed in explicit form. The results can be flexibly applied to FG-GRC panels with different curvatures in engineering designs. The effects of panel types, geometrical parameters, temperature increase, initial imperfection, and nonlinear elastic foundations on the critical buckling loads and postbuckling curves of cylindrical, parabolic, and half-sinusoid FG-GRC panels are discussed in numerical results. Numerical results also show a small disadvantage in the load-carrying capacity of cylindrical panels compared to parabolic panels and half-sinusoid shallow panels.
