In this paper, an efficient and simple trigonometric shear deformation theory is presented for thermal buckling analysis of functionally graded plates. It is assumed that the plate is in contact with elastic foundation during deformation. The theory accounts for sinusoidal distribution of transverse shear stress, and satisfies the free transverse shear stress conditions on the top and bottom surfaces of the plate without using shear correction factor. Unlike the conventional trigonometric shear deformation theory, the proposed sinusoidal shear deformation theory contains only four unknowns. It is assumed that the mechanical and thermal non-homogeneous properties of functionally graded plate vary smoothly by distribution of power law across the plate thickness. Using the non-linear strain-displacement relations, the equilibrium and stability equations of plates made of functionally graded materials are derived. The boundary conditions for the plate are assumed to be simply supported on all edges. The elastic foundation is modelled by two-parameters Pasternak model, which is obtained by adding a shear layer to the Winkler model. The effects of thermal loading types and variations of power of functionally graded material, aspect ratio, and thickness ratio on the critical buckling temperature of functionally graded plates are investigated and discussed.

The novelty of this work is the use of a new displacement field that includes undetermined integral terms for analyzing thermal buckling response of functionally graded (FG) sandwich plates. The proposed kinematic uses only four variables, which is even less than the first shear deformation theory (FSDT) and the conventional higher shear deformation theories (HSDTs). The theory considers a trigonometric variation of transverse shear stress and verifies the traction free boundary conditions without employing the shear correction factors. Material properties of the sandwich plate faces are considered to be graded in the thickness direction according to a simple power-law variation in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. The core layer is still homogeneous and made of an isotropic material. The thermal loads are assumed as uniform, linear and non-linear temperature rises within the thickness direction. An energy based variational principle is employed to derive the governing equations as an eigenvalue problem. The validation of the present work is checked by comparing the obtained results the available ones in the literature. The influences of aspect and thickness ratios, material index, loading type, and sandwich plate type on the critical buckling are all discussed.

낙뢰는 짧은 시간 동안 다량의 에너지를 항공기에 전달하여 치명적인 결과를 초래할 수 있다. 특히 낙뢰는 고온의 열과 전류를 동반하여 항공기 표면 손상과 내부 전자장비에 영향을 미쳐 비행의 안전에 심각한 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 이를 분석하기 위한 낙뢰 시험에는 미항공우주원고서 SAE ARP 5412B에 규정된 최대전류 200kA인 Component A 파형이 사용된다. 하지만 실제 낙뢰 크기는 대부분 35kA 내외로 발생하며 전기체 대상으로 하는 낙뢰 간접 시험에서 내부 전자장비 손상 예방을 위해 파형을 축소하여 시험을 진행한다. 본 연구에서는 기존 Component A 축소 파형을 도식화하는 방법을 알아보고 그 한계를 분석하였다. 나아가 항공기 낙뢰 Component A 파형의 보정계수를 조절하는 방식의 신규 축소 파형 도식 방법을 제안한다. 마지막으로 전자기 해석 소프트웨어 EMA3D를 활용하여 EC-155B 헬리콥터 내부 케이블 하네스의 파형 감소비에 따른 내부 유도 전류 크기 감소비를 비교하였다.

The aim of this work is to study the hygro-thermo-mechanical bending responses of simply supported FG plate resting on a Winkler-Pasternak elastic foundation. The effect transverse shear strains is taken into account in which the zero transverse shear stress condition on the top and bottom surfaces of the plate is ensured without using any shear correction factors. The developed model contains only four unknowns variable which is reduced compared to other HSDTs models. The material properties of FG-plate are supposed to vary across the thickness of the plate according to power-law mixture. The differential governing equations are derived based on the virtual working principle. Numerical outcomes of bending analysis of FG plates under hygro-thermo-mechanical loads are performed and compared with those available in the literature. The effects of the temperature, moisture concentration, elastic foundation parameters, shear deformation, geometrical parameters, and power-law-index on the dimensionless deflections, axial and transverse shear stresses of the FG-plate are presented and discussed.

This research is devoted to study the effects of humidity and temperature on the bending behavior of functionally graded (FG) ceramic-metal porous plates resting on Pasternak elastic foundation using a quasi-3D hyperbolic shear deformation theory developed recently. The present plate theory with only four unknowns, takes into account both transverse shear and normal deformations and satisfies the zero traction boundary conditions on the surfaces of the functionally graded plate without using shear correction factors. Material properties of porous FG plate are defined by rule of the mixture with an additional term of porosity in the through-thickness direction. The governing differential equations are obtained using the "principle of virtual work". Analytically, the Navier method is used to solve the equations that govern a simply supported FG porous plate. The obtained results are checked by comparing the results determined for the perfect and imperfect FG plates with those available in the scientific literature. Effects due to material index, porosity factors, moisture and thermal loads, foundation rigidities, geometric ratios on the FG porous plate are all examined. Finally, this research will help us to design advanced functionally graded materials to ensure better durability and efficiency for hygro-thermal environments.

This work presents a non-linear cylindrical bending analysis of functionally graded plate reinforced by single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in thermal environment using a simple integral higher-order shear deformation theory (HSDT). This theory does not require shear correction factors and the transverse shear stresses vary parabolically through the thickness. The material properties of SWCNTs are assumed to be temperature-dependent and are obtained from molecular dynamics simulations. The material properties of functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced composites (FG-CNTCRs) are considered to be graded in the thickness direction, and are estimated through a micromechanical model. The non-linear strain-displacement relations in the Von Karman sense are used to study the effect of geometric non-linearity and the solution is obtained by minimization of the total potential energy. The numerical illustrations concern the nonlinear bending response of FG-CNTRC plates under different sets of thermal environmental conditions, from which results for uniformly distributed CNTRC plates are obtained as benchmarks.

In this paper, a machine learning model by using a regression algorithm is proposed to estimate the power generation performance of the BIPV system. The physical model formula for estimating the generation performance and the proposed model were compared and analyzed. For the physical model formula, simple efficiency model, temperature correction model, and regressive physics model for changing an irradiance were used. As a result, when comparing the regressive physics model for changing an irradiance and the proposed model with the actual generation measured data, the respective RMSE values are 0.1497 kW, 0.0451 kW and the accuracy values are 86.44%, and 96.56%. Therefore, the proposed model implemented in this experiment can be useful in estimating power generation.

This study investigates the theoretical thermal buckling analyses of thick porous rectangular functionally graded (FG) plates with different geometrical boundary conditions resting on a Winkler-Pasternak elastic foundation using a new higher-order shear deformation theory (HSDT). This new theory has only four unknowns and involves indeterminate integral variables in which no shear correction factor is required. The variation of material properties across the plate's thickness is considered continuous and varied following a simple power law as a function of volume fractions of the constituents. The effect of porosity with two different types of distribution is also included. The current formulation considers the Von Karman nonlinearity, and the stability equations are developed using the virtual works principle. The thermal gradients are involved and assumed to change across the FG plate's thickness according to nonlinear, linear, and uniform distributions. The accuracy of the newly proposed theory has been validated by comparing the present results with the results obtained from the previously published theories. The effects of porosity, boundary conditions, foundation parameters, power index, plate aspect ratio, and side-to-thickness ratio on the critical buckling temperature are studied and discussed in detail.

This article investigates the wave propagation analysis of the imperfect functionally graded (FG) sandwich plates based on a novel simple four-variable integral quasi-3D higher-order shear deformation theory (HSDT). The thickness stretching effect is considered in the transverse displacement component. The presented formulation ensures a parabolic variation of the transverse shear stresses with zero-stresses at the top and the bottom surfaces without requiring any shear correction factors. The studied sandwich plates can be used in several sectors as areas of aircraft, construction, naval/marine, aerospace and wind energy systems, the sandwich structure is composed from three layers (two FG face sheets and isotropic core). The material properties in the FG faces sheet are computed according to a modified power law function with considering the porosity which may appear during the manufacturing process in the form of micro-voids in the layer body. The Hamilton principle is utilized to determine the four governing differential equations for wave propagation in FG plates which is reduced in terms of computation time and cost compared to the other conventional quasi-3D models. An eigenvalue equation is formulated for the analytical solution using a generalized displacements' solution form for wave propagation. The effects of porosity, temperature, moisture concentration, core thickness, and the material exponent on the plates' dispersion relations are examined by considering the thickness stretching influence.

본 연구에서는 충주댐($2750{\times}10^6m^3$) 및 조정지댐($30{\times}10^6m^3$)을 포함한 유역을 대상으로 미래 기후변화가 댐 저수량에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해 SWAT(Soil and Water Assessment Tool) 모형을 활용하였다. 3지점의 9개년(2002~2010)동안의 자료를 이용하여 검보정을 실시한 결과 유출량에 대해서는 Nash-Sutcliffe 모델 효율(NSE)이 0.73으로, 두 댐의 저수위에 대해서는 0.86으로 나타났다. 미래 기후변화 시나리오자료는 IPCC(Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change)에서 제공하는 GCMs (General Circulation Models) 중 HadCM3 모델의 SRES(Special Report on Emission Scenarios)에 의한 B1과 A2 시나리오를 구축하였다. 미래 월별 기온과 강수자료는 과거 30개년(1977~2006, baseline period) 자료는 편의보정(bias-correction) 기법을 이용하여 오차보정 후, Change Factor (CF) method를 이용하여 상세화 하였다. 미래 연평균 기온은 2040s (2031~2050)에 $0.9^{\circ}C$, 2080s (2071~2099)에는 $4.0^{\circ}C$까지 증가할 것으로 예측되었고, 연평균 강수량은 2040s에 9.6%, 2080s에 20.7% 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 과거 대비 미래 증발산량은 15.3%까지 증가하고, 토양수분은 최대 2.8% 감소하였다. 과거 9개년 평균 댐 방류스케줄에 따른 미래 댐 연평균 유입량은 가을철을 제외한 대부분 기간에 최대 21.1%까지 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 미래 가을철 댐 유입의 감소로 인해 현재 방류 패턴으로는 연말까지 결국 저수량을 회복하지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 미래 풍수년과 갈수년에는 댐 저수량의 시간적 변동이 더욱 불안정해지므로 각각 저수량의 상향 및 하향 조정에 주의를 기울여야 한다. 따라서 기후변화 적응을 위한 댐 방류 패턴 조절이 필요하다고 판단된다.
