This paper investigates the relationship between mechanical behaviors and shape of corrugated fiberboard by means of buckling analysis, which is done by FEM (Finite Element Method). Firstly, after analyzing the structure of corrugated fiberboard a single-wall corrugated fiberboard model was built. The buckling load was measured in the ideal condition by linear buckling analysis (eigenvalue buck...

In this paper, buckling of cylindrical grooved shells under axial load has been examined by theoretical and experimental methods. The shell is made of USA/API – X42 5L steel standards. This material is one of the most common materials used in gas, oil and petrochemical industries. The effect of spiral grooves on cylindrical shell was analyzed, and the results obtained from the Abaqus software w...

the current study presents a new analytical method for buckling analysis of rectangular and annular beams made up of functionally graded materials with constant thickness and poisson’s ratio. the boundary conditions of the beam are assumed to be simply supported and clamped. the stability equations were obtained by using conservation of energy. the critical buckling load and first mode shape we...

In this study, using the non-local elasticity theory, the buckling and vibration analysis of triple- walled ZnO piezoelectric Timoshenko beam on elastic Pasternak foundation is analytically investigated under magneto-electro-thermo-mechanical loadings. Using the Timoshenko beam free body diagram, the equilibrium equation of Timoshenko nano-beam model is obtained and solved by Navier’s method fo...

It is well known that Korn's inequality plays a central role in the theory of linear elasticity. In their recent work Grabovsky and Truskinovsky (2007) proved a connection between the Korn inequalities and buckling problems coming from nonlinear elasticity. It has been shown that when the general buckling theory by Grabovsky and Truskinovsky is applicable, then Korn's inequality gives a lower b...

in this research, the buckling and bending behaviour of smart nanocomposite plate reinforced by single- walled carbon nanotubes (swcnts) under electro-magneto-mechanical loadings is studied. the extended mixture rule approach is used to determine the elastic properties of nanocomposite plate. equilibrium equations of smart nanocomposite plate are derived using the hamilton’s principle based on ...

the theoretical and experimental investigation on the thermo-mechanical properties of carbon nanotube (cnt) as reinforcer for oil and gas pipes has increasingly become a hot research area for many engineers and material scientists in recent years. this is mainly due to the advent of the new composite material systems that exhibit exotic material and mechanical properties as compared to the trad...

The work described herein consists of experimental measurement of the post-impact buckling loads of Eglass/epoxy laminates. Composite samples with stacking sequence of [+45/45/90/0]2s were subjected to low-velocity impact loading at energy levels of 36, 56.13, 79.95, 110.31 and 144 J. The impact tests were conducted with a specially developed vertical drop weight testing machine. Impact parame...

Euler was the first who studied for engineering applications important problem of buckling arising in a simple, monolithic beam loaded axially by a concentrated load. As it has been shown from two solutions of the problem due to Timosenko theory, the elastic foundation increases the critical buckling load of the beam. Starting from the previous classical results, a mechanism to enhance the buck...
