[Article] A finite element model using a unified formulation for the analysis of viscoelastic sandwich laminates
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a layerwise finite element model for the analysis of sandwich laminated plates with a viscoelastic core and laminated anisotropic face layers. The stiffness and mass matrices of the element are obtained by the Carrera’s Unified formulation (CUF). The dynamic problem is solved in the frequency domain with viscoelastic frequency-dependent material properties for the core. The dynamic behaviour of the model is compared with solutions found in the literature, including experimental data.

Bending Analysis of Composite Sandwich Plates with Laminated Face Sheets: New Finite Element Formulation
The bending behavior of composites sandwich plates with multi-layered laminated face sheets has been investigated, using a new four-nodded rectangular finite element formulation based on a layer-wise theory. Both, first order and higher-order shear deformation; theories are used in order to model the face sheets and the core, respectively. Unlike any other layer-wise theory, the number of degre...
متن کاملThermal Vibration of Composites and Sandwich Laminates Using Refined Higher Order Zigzag Theory
Vibration of laminated composite and sandwich plate under thermal loading is studied in this paper. A refined higher order theory has been used for the purpose. In order to avoid stress oscillations observed in the implementation of a displacement based finite element, the stress field derived from temperature (initial strains) have been made consistent with total strain field. So far no study ...

In this paper, the finite element analysis of two-dimensional linear viscoelastic problems is performed using quadrilateral complex Fourier elements and, the results are compared with those obtained by quadrilateral classic Lagrange elements. Complex Fourier shape functions contain a shape parameter which is a constant unknown parameter adopted to enhance approximation’s accuracy. Since the iso...
متن کاملNon-linear Response and Dynamic Buckling Analysis of a Cylindrical Sandwich Panel with a Flexible Core under Blast Loading
In this paper, three-dimensional displacement response of a cylindrical sandwich panel with compressible core under the action of dynamic pulse loading is addressed using the extended high order sandwich panel theory. Also, local dynamic pulse buckling of facesheets is studied by considering the Budiansky-Roth buckling criterion. It is assumed that the sandwich panels consist of orthotropic fac...
