In this study, thermally induced bifurcation buckling of shallow composite cylindrical panels reinforced with aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes is investigated. Distribution of carbon nanotubes across the thickness of the cylindrical panel as reinforcements may be either uniform or functionally graded. Thermo-mechanical properties of the matrix and reinforcements are considered to be temperature dependent. Properties of the cylindrical panel are obtained using a refined micromechanical approach which introduces the auxiliary parameters into the rule of mixtures. The governing equations are obtained by using the static version of the Hamilton principle based on the first-order shear deformation theory and considering the linear strain-displacement relation. An energy-based Ritz method and an iterative process are used to obtain the critical buckling temperature of composite cylindrical panel with temperature dependent material properties. In addition, the effect of various parameters such as the boundary conditions, different geometrical conditions, distribution pattern of CNTs across the thickness and their volume fraction are studied on the critical buckling temperature and buckled pattern of cylindrical panels. It is shown that FG-X type of CNT dispersion is the most influential type in thermal stability.

The present article focuses on the thermoelastic deformation behavior of inhomogeneous functionally graded metal/ceramic cylindrical shell structure with multiple perforations using 2D finite element approximation. Here, cylindrical shell structure is considered with single (1×1) and multiple (2×2, 3×3 and 4×4) perforations. The temperature-dependent elastic and thermal properties of functionally graded material are evaluated using Voigt's micromechanical material scheme via power-law function. The kinematics of the proposed model is based on the equivalent single-layer first-order shear deformation mid-plane theory with five degrees-of-freedom. Here, 2D isoparametric finite element solutions are obtained using eight-node quadrilateral elements. The mesh refinement of present finite element model is performed to confirm the appropriate number of elements and nodes for the analysis purpose. Subsequently, a comparison test is conducted to demonstrate the accuracy of present results. In later section, numerous numerical illustrations are demonstrated at different set of conditions by varying structural, material and loading parameters and that confirms the significance of various parameters such as power-law index, aspect ratio, thickness ratio, curvature ratio, number of perforations and temperature on the deformation characteristics of functionally graded cylindrical shell structure.

In this article, large amplitude bending behaviour of laminated composite flat panel under combined effect of moisture, temperature and mechanical loading is investigated. The laminated composite panel model has been developed mathematically by introducing the geometrical nonlinearity in Green-Lagrange sense in the framework of higher-order shear deformation theory. The present study includes the degraded composite material properties at elevated temperature and moisture concentration. In order to achieve any general case, all the nonlinear higher order terms have been included in the present formulation and the material property variations are introduced through the micromechanical model. The nonlinear governing equation is obtained using the variational principle and discretised using finite element steps. The convergence behaviour of the present numerical model has been checked. The present proposed model has been validated by comparing the responses with those available published results. Some new numerical examples have been solved to show the effect of various parameters on the bending behaviour of laminated composite flat panel under hygro-thermo-mechanical loading.

The effects of nanotechnology and smartness on the buckling reduction of pipes are the main contributions of present work. For this ends, the pipe is simulated with classical piezoelectric polymeric cylindrical shell reinforced by armchair double walled boron nitride nanotubes (DWBNNTs), The structure is subjected to combined electro-thermo-mechanical loads. The surrounding elastic foundation is modeled with a novel model namely as orthotropic nonhomogeneous Pasternak medium. Using representative volume element (RVE) based on micromechanical modeling, mechanical, electrical and thermal characteristics of the equivalent composite are determined. Employing nonlinear strains-displacements and stress-strain relations as well as the charge equation for coupling of electrical and mechanical fields, the governing equations are derived based on Hamilton's principal. Based on differential quadrature method (DQM), the buckling load of pipe is calculated. The influences of electrical and thermal loads, geometrical parameters of shell, elastic foundation, orientation angle and volume percent of DWBNNTs in polymer are investigated on the buckling of pipe. Results showed that the generated ${\Phi}$ improved sensor and actuator applications in several process industries, because it increases the stability of structure. Furthermore, using nanotechnology in reinforcing the pipe, the buckling load of structure increases.

Reliable estimation of compressive as well as tensile in-situ stresses is critical in the design and analysis of underground structures and openings in rocks. Kaiser effect technique, which uses acoustic emission from rock specimens under cyclic load, is well established for the estimation of in-situ compressive stresses. This paper investigates the Kaiser effect on marble specimens under cyclic uniaxial compressive as well as cyclic uniaxial tensile conditions. The tensile behavior was studied by means of Brazilian tests. Each specimen was tested by applying the load in four loading cycles having magnitudes of 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% of the peak stress. The experimental results confirm the presence of Kaiser effect in marble specimens under both compressive and tensile loading conditions. Kaiser effect was found to be more dominant in the first two loading cycles and started disappearing as the applied stress approached the peak stress, where felicity effect became dominant instead. This behavior was observed to be consistent under both compressive and tensile loading conditions and can be applied for the estimation of in-situ rock stresses as a function of peak rock stress. At a micromechanical level, Kaiser effect is evident when the pre-existing stress is smaller than the crack damage stress and ambiguous when pre-existing stress exceeds the crack damage stress. Upon reaching the crack damage stress, the cracks begin to propagate and coalesce in an unstable manner. Hence acoustic emission observations through Kaiser effect analysis can help to estimate the crack damage stresses reliably thereby improving the efficiency of design parameters.

The present paper researches post-buckling behaviors of geometrically imperfect concrete beam resting on elastic foundation reinforced with graphene oxide powders (GOPs) based on finite element method (FEM). Distribution of GOPs are considered as uniform and linearly graded through the thickness. Geometric imperfection is considered as first buckling mode shape of the beam, the GOP reinforced beam is rested in initial position. The material properties of GOP reinforced composite have been calculated via employment of Halpin-Tsai micromechanical scheme. The provided refined beam element verifies the shear deformation impacts needless of any shear correction coefficient. The post-buckling load-deflections relations have been calculated via solving the governing equations having cubic non-linearity implementing FEM. Obtained findings indicate the importance of GOP distributions, GOP weight fraction, matrix material, geometric imperfection, shear deformation and foundation parameters on nonlinear buckling behavior of GOP reinforced beam.

Jute와 Hemp 섬유/폴리프로필렌 (PP)의 내구성 및 계면 평가는 끓는 물 실험 전 후로 해서 조사되었고 끓는 물 실험 전 후에 따른 Jute와 Hemp 섬유의 수분함량은 TCA를 통해 측정되었다. 끓는 물 실험 후, Jute, Hemp섬유와 폴리프로필렌 기지재 사이의 계면전단강도와 기계적 물성은 감소하였다. 반면에 물에 의해 부풀어 오른 미소섬유에 의해 미처리경우와 비교해서 접착일은 증가를 하였다. 그리고 끓는 물 실험 전·후의 Jute, Hemp섬유와 폴리프로필렌의 표면에너지는 동 접촉각을 통해 얻어졌다. 계면전단강도는 항상 열역학의 접착일과 일치하지는 않는다. 끓는 물 내에서, Jute와 Hemp 섬유는 물에 의해 부풀어지게 된다. 그래서 표면적과 수분 침투공간이 증가한다. 끓는 물 실험 전 후의 Jute와 Hemp 섬유 미세파괴 경향은 명백하게 다르다. Jute와 Hemp 섬유/폴리프로필렌 복합재의 환경적 영향에 의한 미세파괴 형태는 광학 현미경을 통한 관찰과 음향 방출 수와 에너지에 의해 상호 일치함을 보여주었다. 끓는 물 실험 이후, Jute 섬유는 Hemp 섬유와 달리 부풀어진 피브릴에 의한 낮은 인장강도에서 나타나는 미세파괴 형태를 보여주었다. 또한, 부풀어진 피브릴에 의해 미세파괴시 음향 방출 수는 증가를 하였으며, AE 진폭과 에너지는 감소하였다.

금속복합재료 개발을 위한 고온가압 성형공정은 기지재료의 비탄성거동과 성형체 내부의 기공에 대한 충진 과정을 수반하며 이러한 강화공정은 압력, 온도 그리고 강화재와 모재의 상대부피분률과 같은 공정변수의 영향을 받게 된다. 특히 티타늄금속기 복합재료의 강화공정은 강화재와 모재 사이의 기계적 혹은 열적 특성 차이 및 생산환경으로 인한 다양한 형태의 손상이 발생할 수 있으며 따라서 이들을 극복하기 위한 재료특성, 작용압력, 온도, 시간조건 등과 공정에 따른 조직의 진전 등 미소역학적 연구가 수반된 최적의 고온가압강화공정의 개발이 요구되어진다. 이를 위하여 본 연구는 VHP방식을 이용한 SiC／Ti-6Al-4V 연속섬유강화 금속기 복합재료의 강화공정실험을 수행하였으며 특히 미시역학적 접근에 따른 다공성 재료의 구성방정식을 이용하여 보강재와 기지재료의 변형거동과 고온가압공정에 필요한 다양한 조건들을 실험결과와 비교 연구하였으며 유한요소해석을 통해 공정변수와 그에 따른 결과들을 고찰하였다.

본 논문과 함께 제출한 논문에서는 미시역학 기반의 새로운 탄소성 모델의 정식화에 대해 설명하였다. 본 논문에서는 사질토 변형의 탄성 및 탄소성 거동을 미시역학에 근거하여 자세히 분석하였다. 모델에 필요한 변수 평가를 위한 과정을 제시하였다. 등방 및 삼축 압축 시험에서 나타난 사질토의 탄성 거동을 분석한 결과, 직교 이방 탄성계수의 응력 종속성은 미시적 수직 강성에서 나타난 수직 접촉력의 거듭제곱 함수 형태가 반영되어 나타나며, 삼축 압축 응력 상태에서는 조직 이방성의 변화가 응력 종속성에 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었다. 미시역학적 해석을 통해 소성 변형이 매우 낮은 변형률 수준에서도 발현되며, 변형 중 사질토 강성의 비선형적 감소는 접촉점에서의 접선 방향 소성 변형에 의해 나타남을 밝혔다.
