Abstract
The dielectric properties of functionally graded (FG) graphene platelets (GPLs) reinforced composite (FG-GPLRC) beams enable tunable mechanical responses under external electric fields and hence offer an effective way for enhanced control of structural performance. This paper investigates nonlinear static and dynamic responses of FG-GPLRC dielectric beams with internal pores and an open edge crack. A two-step hybrid mechanical model is developed to determine the material properties of the multiphase composites. The governing equations, incorporating damping and dielectric properties, are derived within the framework of Timoshenko beam theory and the nonlinear von Kármán strain-displacement relationship. The stress intensity factor (SIF) at the crack tip of the cracked FG-GPLRC beam is obtained via finite element method (FEM). Differential quadrature (DQ) and incremental harmonic balance (IHB) methods combined with the arc-length algorithm methods are utilized to solve the nonlinear system. After the present analysis has been verified, a comprehensive parametric study is conducted to examine the effects of internal pore attributes, crack location and depth, damping, GPL properties and the applied electric field on the nonlinear bending, free and forced vibrations of the cracked FG-GPLRC beam. The study indicates that the internal pore attributes and crack location and depth have a significant impact on the nonlinear frequency, dimensionless amplitude, and peak amplitude excitation frequency of the cracked FG-GPLRC beam under an applied voltage.
期刊介绍:
Thin-walled structures comprises an important and growing proportion of engineering construction with areas of application becoming increasingly diverse, ranging from aircraft, bridges, ships and oil rigs to storage vessels, industrial buildings and warehouses.
Many factors, including cost and weight economy, new materials and processes and the growth of powerful methods of analysis have contributed to this growth, and led to the need for a journal which concentrates specifically on structures in which problems arise due to the thinness of the walls. This field includes cold– formed sections, plate and shell structures, reinforced plastics structures and aluminium structures, and is of importance in many branches of engineering.
The primary criterion for consideration of papers in Thin–Walled Structures is that they must be concerned with thin–walled structures or the basic problems inherent in thin–walled structures. Provided this criterion is satisfied no restriction is placed on the type of construction, material or field of application. Papers on theory, experiment, design, etc., are published and it is expected that many papers will contain aspects of all three.
