Thermal buckling of laminated composite plates using layerwise displacement model
(Elsevier Ltd, 2016)
In this paper thermal buckling of laminated composite plates, based on Layerwise Theory of Reddy and new version of Layerwise Theory of Reddy, presented for the first time, are formulated using the principle of virtual ...
Free vibrations of laminated composite shells using the rotation-free plate elements based on Reddy's layerwise discontinuous displacement model
(Elsevier Ltd, 2016)
The goal of this paper is to develop a computational model for the free vibration analysis of laminated composite shells with embedded delaminations. Laminated composite shells of different shape are modeled using the ...
A finite element model for propagating delamination in laminated composite plates based on the Virtual Crack Closure method
(Elsevier Ltd, 2016)
In the paper, a simple and efficient algorithm to track a moving delamination front of arbitrary shape, using a laminated finite plate element model in conjunction with the Virtual Crack Closure Technique (VCCT), is proposed. ...
Free vibration analysis of plate assemblies using the dynamic stiffness method based on the higher order shear deformation theory
(Academic Press, 2016)
This paper deals with the free vibration analysis of isotropic plate assemblies using the dynamic stiffness method (DSM) based on the Reddy's higher-order shear deformation theory (HSDT). Using the proposed method, the ...
An improved analysis of free torsional vibration of axially loaded thin-walled beams with point-symmetric open cross-section
(Elsevier Inc., 2016)
The objective of the paper is to analyze the influence of bimoment induced by constant axial loads on the free motion of thin-walled beams with point-symmetric open cross-section. For various boundary conditions, a closed-form ...
Free vibration study of sandwich plates using a family of novel shear deformable dynamic stiffness elements: limitations and comparison with the finite element solutions
(Elsevier Ltd, 2016)
In this paper, the dynamic stiffness matrix of a completely free rectangular multi-layer plate element based on Reddy's higher-order shear deformation theory is derived. The reduction of the proposed model to the first-order ...
Generalized plasticity model for inelastic RCFT column response
(Elsevier Ltd, 2016)
This paper presents a nonlinear 3d concentrated plasticity beam column element for the analysis of RCFT columns. The element consists of a linear elastic component with a plastic hinge at each end whose inelastic response ...
