BEM of postbuckling analysis of thin plates

چکیده
A new fundamental solution of deflection for plate buckling problems is first derived through the separation of in-plane stresses into an essential part and a disturbed part and by use of the resolution theorem of differential operator. A set of new boundary element formulas for the analysis of postbuckling problems of elastic plates are presented. On the basis of these formulas, in-plane and outof-plane displacements can be decoupled. The solution procedure for the boundary value problems of the in-plane displacement becomes very simple. Some examples of a circular plate are considered, and their results are in good agreement with the known ones. It appears that the proposed method is very effective for solving the postbuckling problem of plates with arbitrary geometry.

متن کاملPostbuckling analysis of thin plates by a hybrid Trefftz finite element method
A hybrid Trefftz finite element (HT FE) model fl~r postbuckling analysis of thin plates is presented, based on a modified variational principle. With the aid of incremental form of equilibrium equations, all non-linear terms may be viewed as pseudo-loads, and then the in-plane and out-of-plane equations can be unoccupied. As a consequence, the solution procedure for the postbuekling plate becom...

متن کاملElement Free Galerkin Method for Static Analysis of Thin Micro/Nanoscale Plates Based on the Nonlocal Plate Theory
In this article, element free Galerkin method is used for static analysis of thin micro/nanoscale plates based on the nonlocal plate theory. The problem is solved for the plates with arbitrary boundary conditions. Since shape functions of the element free Galerkin method do not satisfy the Kronecker’s delta property, the penalty method is used to impose the essential boundary conditions. Discre...
