The present research delves into the analysis of nonlinear free and forced vibrations of porous functionally graded (FG) shallow shells reinforced with oblique stiffeners, which are embedded in a nonlinear elastic foundation (NEF) subjected to external excitation. Two distinct types of PFG shallow shells, characterized by even and uneven porosity distribution along the thickness direction, are considered in the research. In order to model the stiffeners, Lekhnitskii's smeared stiffeners technique is implemented. With the stress function and first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT), the nonlinear model of the oblique stiffened shallow shells is established. The strain-displacement relationships for the system are derived via the FSDT and utilization of the von-Kármán's geometric assumptions. To discretize the nonlinear governing equations, the Galerkin method is employed. The model such developed allows analysis of the effects of the stiffeners with various angles as desired, in addition to the quantitative investigation on the influence of the surrounding nonlinear elastic foundations. To numerically solve the problem of vibrations, the 4th-order P-T method is used, as this method, known for its enhanced accuracy and reliability, proves to be an effective choice. The validation of the present research findings includes a comprehensive comparison with outcomes documented in existing literature. Additionally, a comparative analysis of the numerical results against those obtained using the 4th Runge-Kutta method is performed. The impact of stiffeners with varying angles and material parameters on the vibration characteristics of the present system is also explored. The researchers and engineers working in this field may use the results of this study as benchmarks in their design and research for the considered shell systems.

The present research investigates the combination resonance behaviors of porous FG shallow shells reinforced with oblique stiffeners and subjected to a two-term excitation. The oblique stiffeners considered in this research reinforce the shell internally and externally. To model the stiffeners, Lekhnitskii's smeared stiffeners technique is utilized. According to the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) and stress functions, a nonlinear model of the oblique stiffened shallow shell is established. With regard to the FSDT and von-Kármán nonlinear geometric assumptions, the stress-strain relationships for the present shell system are developed. Also, in order to discretize the nonlinear governing equations, the Galerkin method is implemented. To obtain the required relations for investigating the combination resonance theoretically, the method of multiple scales is applied. For verifying the results of the present research, generated results are compared with previous research. Additionally, a comparison with the P-T method is conducted to increase the validity of the generated results, as this method has illustrated advantages over other numerical methods in terms of accuracy and reliability. In this method, the piecewise constant argument is used jointly with the Taylor series expansion, which is why it is named the P-T method. The effects of stiffeners with different angles, and the effects of material parameters on the combination resonance behaviors of the present system are addressed. With the findings of this research, researchers and engineers in this field may use them as benchmarks for their design and research of porous FG shallow shells.

사면 내의 지하수 유동과 사면의 안정성에 대한 강수의 영향을 평가하기 위하여 수리지질역학적 수치 모델이 제시되었다. 이 수치 모델은 변형성 지질매체 내에서의 포화-불포화 지하수 유동을 설명하는 완전 연동된 간극탄성론적 지배 방정식들과 Galerkin 유한요소법에 근거하여 개발되었다. 이렇게 개발된 완전 연동된 수리지질역학적 수치 모델은 다양한 강수량 조건 하에 있는 불포화 사면에 대한 일련의 수치모의실험에 적용되었다. 이러한 수치모의실험 결과들은 강수량이 증가할수록 사면의 전반적인 수리역학적 안정성이 저하되며 잠재적인 파괴가 사면 전단부에서부터 시작되어 사면 정상부 쪽으로 팽창됨을 보여주고 있다. 강수량이 증가함에 따라 수리지질학적으로는 압력수두와 전체 수리수두가 증가한다. 그 결과 지하수면이 상승하고 불포화대가 감소하며 삼출면이 사면 전단부로부터 사면 정상부쪽으로 팽창하고 이러한 삼출면에서의 지하수 유동 속도도 증가하게 된다. 한편 강수량이 증가함에 따라 지질역학적으로는 사면 전단부를 향해 수평 변위는 증가하지만 수직 변위는 감소하게 된다. 이는 강수량 증가에 따른 지하수면의 상승에 수반하는 부력에 기인하는 것으로 해석된다. 그 결과 사면의 전반적인 변형이 사면 전단부를 향해 심화되고 전단파괴 안전율이 1 이하인 불안전한 지역이 사면 전단부에서 두꺼워지면서 사면 전단부에서부터 사면 정상부 쪽으로 팽창하게 된다. 또한 수치모의실험 결과들은 이러한 잠재적인 전단파괴면과 지표면 사이의 지반에서는 잠재적인 인장파괴가 발생할 수 있음을 보여주고 있다.

일정수심상에서 임의반사율을 갖는 부분중복파와 흐름이 공존하는 경우 얕은 두께를 포함한 유한두께 및 무한두께의 해저지반내에서 동적응답을 나타내는 해석해를 유도한다. 해석해에서 반사율이 0인 경우는 진행파와 흐름과의 공존장으로, 반사율이 1인 경우는 완전중복파와 흐름과의 공존장으로 간단히 변환된다. Biot의 압밀이론에 기초하여 해저지반은 투과탄성매체로, 간극유체는 압축성으로, 그리고 지반내 간극수의 흐름은 Darcy법칙으로 각각 가정된다. 도출된 해석해는 기존의 해석결과와의 비교 검토로부터 검증되며, 실제 계산에서는 반사율, 흐름속도, 입사파의 주기 및 지반두께 등의 변화에 따른 지반변위, 간극수압, 유효응력 및 전단응력의 변동특성을 면밀히 검토한다. 이로부터 흐름이 존재하는 경우 흐름으로 인한 입사파와 반사파의 주기 및 파장의 변화로 인하여 흐름이 없는 경우의 지반내 동적응답과는 큰 차이를 나타내며, 또한 반사율의 크기에 따라 동적응답에서 큰 차이가 나타난다는 것을 확인할 수 있다.

Upon direct/indirect exposure to flame or heat, composite structures may burn or thermally buckle. This issue becomes more important in the natural fiber-based composite structures with higher flammability and lower mechanical properties. The main goal of the present study was to obtain an optimal eco-friendly composite system with low flammability and high thermal buckling resistance. The studied composite consisted of polypropylene (PP) and short abaca fiber (AF) with eggshell powder (ESP) and halloysite clay nanotubes (HNTs) additives. An optimal base composite, consisting of 30 wt.% AF and 70 wt.% PP, abbreviated as OAP, was initially introduced based on burning rate (BR) and the Young's modulus determined by horizontal burning test (HBT) and tensile test, respectively. The effects of adding ESP to the base composite were then investigated with the same experimental tests. The results indicated that though the BR significantly decreased with the increase of ESP content up to 6 wt.%, it had a very destructive influence on the stiffness of the composite. To compensate for the damaging effect of ESP, small amount of HNT was used. The performance of OAP composite with 6 wt.% ESP and 3 wt.% HNT (OAPEH) was explored by conducting HBT, cone calorimeter test (CCT) and tensile test. The experimental results indicated a 9~23 % reduction in almost all flammability parameters such as heat release rate (HRR), total heat released (THR), maximum average rate of heat emission (MARHE), total smoke released (TSR), total smoke production (TSP), and mass loss (ML) during combustion. Furthermore, the combination of 6 wt.% ESP and 3 wt.% HNT reduced the stiffness of OAP to an insignificant amount by maximum 3%. Moreover, the char residue analysis revealed the distinct differences in the formation of char between AF/PP and AF/PP/ESP/HNT composites. Afterward, dilatometry test was carried out to examine the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of OAP and OAPEH samples. The obtained results showed that the CTE of OAPEH composite was about 18% less than that of OAP. Finally, a theoretical model was used based on first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) to predict the critical bucking temperatures of the OAP and OAPEH composite plates. It was shown that in the absence of mechanical load, the critical buckling temperatures of OAPEH composite plates were higher than those of OAP composites, such that the difference between the buckling temperatures increased with the increase of thickness. On the contrary, the positive effect of CTE reduction on the buckling temperature decreased by raising the axial compressive mechanical load on the composite plates which can be assigned to the reduction of stiffness after the incorporation of ESP. The results of present study generally stated that a suitable combination of AF, PP, ESP, and HNT can result in a relatively optimal and environmentally friendly composite with proper flame and thermal buckling resistance with no significant decline in the stiffness.
