A trigonometric Layerwise higher order shear deformation theory (TLHSDT) is developed and implemented for free vibration and buckling analysis of laminated composite and sandwich plates by analytical and finite element formulation. The present model assumes parabolic variation of out-plane stresses through the depth of the plate and also accomplish the zero transverse shear stresses over the surface of the plate. Thus a need of shear correction factor is obviated. The present zigzag model able to meet the transverse shear stress continuity and zigzag form of in-plane displacement continuity at the plate interfaces. Hence, botheration of shear correction coefficient is neglected. In the case of analytical method, the governing differential equation and boundary conditions are obtained from the principle of virtual work. For the finite element formulation, an efficient eight noded $C^0$ continuous isoparametric serendipity element is established and employed to examine the dynamic analysis. Like FSDT, the considered mathematical model possesses similar number of variables and which decides the present models computationally more effective. Several numerical predictions are carried out and results are compared with those of other existing numerical approaches.

An efficient one dimensional finite element model has been presented for the dynamic analysis of composite laminated beams, using the efficient layerwise zigzag theory. To meet the convergence requirements for the weak integral formulation, cubic Hermite interpolation is used for the transverse displacement ($w_0$), and linear interpolation is used for the axial displacement ($u_0$) and shear rotation (${\psi}_0$). Each node of an element has four degrees of freedom. The expressions of variationally consistent inertia, stiffness matrices and the load vector are derived in closed form using exact integration. The formulation is validated by comparing the results with the 2D-FE results for composite symmetric and sandwich beams with various end conditions. The employed finite element model is free of shear locking. The present zigzag finite element results for natural frequencies, mode shapes of cantilever and clamped-clamped beams are obtained with a one-dimensional finite element codes developed in MATLAB. These 1D-FE results for cantilever and clamped beams are compared with the 2D-FE results obtained using ABAQUS to show the accuracy of the developed MATLAB code, for zigzag theory for these boundary conditions. This comparison establishes the accuracy of zigzag finite element analysis for dynamic response under given boundary conditions.

본 논문에서는 1차전단변형이론의 횡방향 전단응력과 전단변형률을 개선한 간단한 수정방법을 제시하였다. 고차전단변형이론, 층별이론과 같은 기존의 많은 제정된 방법들과 비교해서 본 방법은 매우 간단하게 $C^0$ 연속성만이 요구되는 유한요소에 적용할 수 있으며, 그 방정식 구성도 매우 간단하다. 본 방법의 기본 개념은 고차전단변형이론에 의한 수식으로 부터 두께방향에 따른 횡방향 전단응력과 전단변형률의 분포를 수정하는 것이다. 그러므로 1차전단변형이론처럼 전단보정계수는 더 이상 요구되지 않는다. 제안한 수식의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 수치해석을 수행하였으며, 본 수정방법에 의한 해는 고차전단변형이론을 고려한 결과와 잘 일치하였다.

본 논문에서는 복합재 구조물에 손상이 있을 경우, 손상에 의해 변화된 구조물의 동적특성을 손상이 없는 상태로 회복하여, 전체 시스템의 안정성을 유지할 수 있도록 하였다. 층간 분리가 있는 구조물의 유한요소모델 구축을 위하여 향상된 층간 변위장 모델을 적용하였으며, 유한요소해석을 진행하여 구조물의 고유 진동수와 모드 형상을 관찰하였다. 능동제어 알고리즘과 압전 작동기를 적용하여 구조물의 진동 응답특성을 확인하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 손상된 구조물의 동적특성을 손상이 없는 상태로 회복할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

A relatively simple two-dimensional multilayered shell model is presented for predicting both global quantities and stress distributions across the thickness of multilayered thick shells, that is based on a third-order zig-zag approach. As for any zig-zag model, the layerwise kinematics is accounted for, with the stress continuity conditions at interfaces met a priori. Moreover, the shell model satisfies the zero transverse shear stress conditions at the upper and lower free surfaces of the shell, irrespective of the lay-up. By changing the parameters in the displacement model, some higher order shell models are obtained as particular cases. Although it potentially has a wide range of validity, application is limited to cylindrical shell panels in cylindrical bending, a lot of solutions of two-dimensional models based on rather different simplyfying assumptions and the exact three-dimensional elasticity solution being available for comparisons for this benchmark problem. The numerical investigation performed by the present shell model and by the shell models derived from it illustrates the effects of transverse shear modeling and the range of applicability of the simplyfying assumptions introduced. The implications of retaining only selected terms depending on the radius-to-thickness ratio are focused by comparing the present solutions to the exact one and to other two-dimensional solutions in literature based on rather different simplyfying assumptions.
