In the present paper, the buckling problem of rectangular functionally graded (FG) plate with arbitrary edge supports is investigated. The present analysis is based on the classical plate theory (CPT) and large deformation is assumed for deriving stability equations. The plate is subjected to bi-axial compression loading. Mechanical properties of FG plate are assumed to vary continuously along ...

This paper experimentally investigates the cyclic inelastic performance of concentrically braced frames with and without cold formed steel stud ~CFSS! infills designed to laterally restrain braces and delay their buckling. Specimens have either diagonal tube or solid bar braces with and without CFSS and U brackets providing out-of-plane and in-plane buckling restraint. Behavioral characteristic...

The effect of central opening on the buckling and nonlinear post-buckling response of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) reinforced micro composite plate embedded in elastic medium is considered in this paper. It is assumed that the system is surrounded by elastic medium, therefore; the influence of Pasternak foundation on buckling and post-buckling behavior are analyzed. In order to derive the basic form...

The guy cables can effectively improve the bearing capacity for telescopic boom of crane, while introduction tensioned makes buckling analysis complicated. primary objective this study was to propose an analytical method out-of-plane with spatial symmetric cables. To analyze influence on property boom, deflection differential equation multi-stepped established based theory elastic beam, then ch...

Surface patterns can emerge during growth of anisotropic tissues because of surface buckling. This morphogenetic scenario is examined in the present paper based on a simple phenomenological theory of tissue growth. In particular, we show that constrained growth can lead to tissue compression, which in turn may result in surface buckling of the tissue. The latter means the appearance of wavy pat...

Aluminum cellular structures have been fabricated by combining a two-dimensional [0◦/90◦]2 arrangement of square Al 6061-T6 alloy tubes with orthogonal tubes inserted in the out-of-plane direction. By varying the tube wall thickness, the resulting three-dimensional cellular structures had relative densities between 11 and 43%. The dynamic compressive response of the three-dimensional cellular s...

In this paper, the thermal buckling analysis of a circular plate made of FGM materials with actuator/actuator piezoelectric layers based on neutral plane, classical plate theory and first order shear deformation plate theory is investigated. Reddy's model is assumed for material properties of FGM plate. Plate under the thermal loading, nonlinear temperature rise through the thickness and clampe...
