An isoparametric six-node triangular element is utilized for geometrically nonlinear analysis of functionally graded (FG) shells. To overcome the shear and membrane locking, the element is improved by using strain interpolation functions. The Total Lagrangian formulation is employed to include the large displacements and rotations. Finding the nonlinear behavior of FG shells via laminated modeling is also the goal. A power function is employed to formulate the variation of elastic modulus through the thickness of shells. The results are presented in two ways, including the general FGM formulation and the laminated modeling. The equilibrium path is obtained by using the Generalized Displacement Control Method. Some popular benchmarks, including hyperbolical shell structures are solved to declare the correctness and accuracy of proposed formulations.

This paper analyse the mechanical characteristics of geometrical and material nonlinearity behavior of cylindrical shell roofs subjected to a concentrated load. The shell elements were modeled using 'NISA2016' software as 3D general shell element and 3D composite shell element. The 3D shell element includes deformation due to bending, membrane, membrane-bending coupling and shear perpendicular to the grain effects is suited for modeling moderately thick or thin general shells and laminated composite shells. And The 3D composite shell element consists of a number of layers of perfectly bonded anisotropic and orthotropic materials. The purpose of this research is to analysis the load-deflection curves considering the combined geometric and material nonlinearity of cylindrical shells. In a shallowed cylindrical shell, snap-through curve can be found.

A methodology to design symmetrically laminated fibre-reinforced structures under transverse loads for minimum weight, with manufacturing uncertainty in the ply angle, is described. The ply angle and the ply thickness are the design variables, and the Tsai-Wu failure criteria is the design constraint implemented. It is assumed that the probability of any tolerance value occurring within the tolerance band, compared with any other, is equal, and thus the approach is a worst-case scenario approach. The finite element method, based on Mindlin plate and shell theory, is implemented, and thus effects like bending-twisting coupling are accounted for. The Golden Section method is used as the search algorithm, but the methodology is flexible enough to allow any appropriate finite element formulation, search algorithm and failure criterion to be substituted. In order to demonstrate the procedure, laminated plates with varying aspect ratios and boundary conditions are optimally designed and compared.

We propose an accurate and efficient estimation method of transverse shear stresses for analysis and design of laminated composite structures by 4-node quadrilateral degenerated shell elements. To get proper distributions of transverse shear stresses in each layer, we use 3-dimensional equilibrium equations instead of constitutive equations with shear correction factors which vary diversely according to the shapes of shell sections. Three dimensional equilibrium equations are integrated through the thickness direction with complete polynomial membrane stress fields, which are recovered by REP (Recovery by Equilibrium in Patches) recovery method. The 4-node quadrilateral degenerated shell element used in this paper has drilling degrees of freedom and shear stresses derived from assumed strain fields that are set up at natural coordinate systems. The numerical results demonstrate that the proposed estimation method attains reasonable accuracy and efficiency compared with other methods and FE analysis using 4-node degenerated shell elements.

쉘 구조물은 지붕 구조물, 굴뚝 구조물, 압력구조물, 선박구조물, 항공구조물 등에 널리 사용되는 구조물이다. 본 논문은 전단변형 효과를 고려한 비등방성 복합성층 원뿔형 쉘의 자유진동에 관하여 연구하였다. 복합재료는 2개 또는 이상의 재료들로 구성되어 구조적인 효율성을 증진시키도록 구성된 재료이다. 이러한 복합재료로 구성된 구조물의 거동은 매우 복잡하기 때문에 해석해를 구하기가 거의 불가능하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 복합재료로 구성된 원뿔형 쉘의 자유진동을 해결하는데 유한차분법을 사용하였다. 중심각, 정점각 및 다른 기하학적 파라미터의 진동에 대한 효과를 연구하였고, 진동모드 형상을 예시함으로서 진동모드에 관한 물리적 및 공학적인 이해를 증진시키고자 하였다.

적층 복합재료 주름판에 대한 진동특성을 이론적 방법을 이용하여 분석하였다. 고려된 주름 형상은 사다리꼴을 기본으로 삼각형, 사각형 및 요각 사다리꼴형이다. 3차원 주름 구조물을 해석적으로 기계적 거동을 표현하는 것이 매우 어렵기 때문에 본 해석에서는 주름판의 진동특성을 분석하기 위해 등가균질모델을 적용하였다. 이를 위해 단위 주름을 직교이방성재료로 등가시켰으며, 해석에서 등가 신장 강성 및 굽힘 강성이 모두 고려되었다. 이론해석 결과의 타당성을 검증하기 위해 셸요소를 적용한 3차원 유한요소해석을 수행하였으며, 두 방법을 이용해 얻은 고유진동수 및 진동형상을 비교하였다. 주름판의 기하형상에 따른 영향을 분석하기 위해 다양한 수치예가 제시되었다.

Conoidal shells are doubly curved stiff surfaces which are easy to cast and fabricate due to their singly ruled property. Application of laminated composites in fabrication of conoidal shells reduces gravity forces and mass induced forces compared to the isotropic constructions due to the high strength to weight ratio of the material. These light weight shells are preferred in the industry to cover large column free open spaces. To ensure design reliability under service conditions, detailed knowledge about different behavioral aspects of conoidal shell is necessary. Hence, in this paper, static bending, free and forced vibration responses of composite conoidal shells are studied. Lagrange's equation of motion is used in conjunction with Hamilton's principle to derive governing equations of the shell. A finite element code using eight noded curved quadratic isoparametric elements is developed to get the solutions. Uniformly distributed load for static bending analysis and three different load time histories for solution of forced vibration problems are considered. Eight different stacking sequences of graphite-epoxy composite and two different boundary conditions are taken up in the present study. The study shows that relative performances of different shell combinations in terms of static behaviour cannot provide an idea about how they will relatively behave under dynamic loads and also the fact that the points of occurrence of maximum static and dynamic displacement may not be same on a shell surface.

많은 장점을 가진 복합재료를 사용한 보강판에 대하여 지금까지 많은 연구자들이 변위법에 근거한 등매개변수 평판 요소와 보요소를 결합한 유한요소법을 사용하여왔다. 이러한 유한요소법은 보요소를 평판 요소의 절점에 대한 강성으로 치환하기 때문에 보강재에 대한 국부적인 거동을 파악할 수 없으며 복합적층 구조인 경우 그 적용성이 제한적이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 복합재료 보강판의 해석에 있어 보강재 및 판에 대하여 3차원 쉘요소를 사용하여 거동을 분석하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 Reissner-Mindlin의 1차 전단변형이론을 사용하였다. 그러나 Reissner-Mindlin이론에 의한 등매개변수 평판 휨 요소는 판의 두께가 얇아지는 경우 일반적으로 전단잠김현상과 가상의 제로에너지 모드가 발생하는데 이를 제거하기 위해 대체전단변형률장을 사용하였다. 폭-두께비, 형상비 뿐만아니라 경사판의 경사각 변화에 따른 임의방향 보강재를 갖는 단순지지된 복합적층 구형 및 경사판에 대한 처짐분포를 비교 분석하였다.

This study aims to accurately predict the first ply failure loads of laminated composite hypar shell roofs with different boundary conditions. The geometrically nonlinear finite element method (FEM) is used to analyse different symmetric and anti-symmetric, cross and angle ply shells. The first ply failure loads are obtained through different well-established failure criteria including Puck's criterion along with the serviceability criterion of deflection. The close agreement of the published and present results for different validation problems proves the correctness of the finite element model used in the present study. The effects of edge conditions on first ply failure behavior are discussed critically from practical engineering point of view. Factor of safety values and failure zones are also reported to suggest design and non-destructive monitoring guidelines to practicing engineers. Apart from these, the present study indicates the rank wise relative performances of different shell options. The study establishes that the angle ply laminates in general perform better than the cross ply ones. Among the stacking sequences considered here, three layered symmetric angle ply laminates offer the highest first ply failure load. The probable failure zones on the different shell surfaces, identified in this paper, are the areas where non-destructive health monitoring may be restricted to. The contributions made through this paper are expected to serve as important design aids to engineers engaged in composite hypar shell design and construction.
