The paper presents the temperature field effect on the dynamic stability problem of plates with imperfection. The main objective is to conduct numerical investigations which show the relations between the imperfection ratio and plate dynamic response in a thermal environment. The plate is composed of three layers: thin facings and a thicker core. The plate can be loaded mechanically and thermally or only thermally. The facings are mechanically compressed with the forces acting in a plane. The temperature field model is defined by the temperature difference, which occurs between the plate edges. Two plate models are examined as follows: built using the approximation methods – orthogonalization and finite differences – and composed of finite elements. The analytical and numerical solution procedure is the main one, which is the proposal to perform the problem analysis. The plate reaction is described by the obtained values of the critical temperature differences for plates loaded only thermally and by the critical mechanical load sand the corresponding temperature differences for plates loaded mechanically and subjected to the uncoupled temperature field. The effect of the plate imperfection ratio under time-dependent loads is shown by numerous observations and results, which are shown graphically. The importance of the imperfection ratio on the plate’s dynamic stability response in complex loading conditions is studied.
This paper presents the effect of the auxeticity on the behaviour of a plate subjected to the loss of stability. The plate structure is composed of three layers built of auxetic or conventional facings and a conventional core. The plate is loaded mechanically in the plane of facings with forces increasing in time. The main technique of the problem solution is based on the orthogonalisation and finite differences methods. Selected examples of plates were calculated with the use of the finite difference method. The obtained results allow observing the similarities and differences between plate models, whose structures are built of conventional layers or mixed layers: auxetic-foam-auxetic. Investigations complement the knowledge of the responses of the composite structures with auxetic properties. They show the possibility of using special plate structures whose materials are characterised by the negative value of Poisson’s ratio.
The problem of dynamic stability of composite three-layered annular plate with viscoelastic core is the subject of the consideration. Plate composed of thin outer layers and soft core is loaded quickly in time with forces compressing facings and with temperature gradient in radial direction. Two kinds of plate support system are analysed: plate slideably clamped in thermo-mechanical problem and plate clamped on both edges in thermal analysis. The analytical and numerical solution, which is based on the orthogonalization and finite difference methods includes axisymmetric and asymmetric forms of buckling and rheological properties of plate core.
The paper presents the response of a three-layered annular plate with damaged laminated facings to the loads acting in their planes. The presented problem concerns the analysis of the combination of global plate failure in the form of buckling with the local micro defects, like fibre or matrix cracks, located in the laminas. The plate structure consists of thin laminated, fibre-reinforced composite facings and a thicker foam core. The matrix and fibre cracks of facings laminas can be transversally symmetrically or asymmetrically located in plate structure. Critical static and dynamic stability analyses were carried out solving the problem numerically and analytically. The numerical results show the static and dynamic stability state of the composite plate with different combinations of damages. The final results are compared with those for undamaged structure of the plate and treated as quasi-isotropic ones. The analysed problem makes it possible to evaluate the use of the non-ideal composite plate structure in practical applications.
