To simplify the development of the analytical solution, it is assumed that the warping of each layer of the composite section has no contribution on the stress resultants of each layer. Therefore, the warping function obtained with the classical St-Venant beam theory can be used for each subsection. As a result, the variables associated to both connection shearing plans become uncoupled. Using the virtual work principle, the governing equations are derived, and solved in closed-form. Based on the analytical expressions of the displacement fields, the exact stiffness matrix of the composite beam is computed. In addition, a displacement-based formulation is suggested. Appropriate polynomial interpolation functions are selected to circumvent slip-locking phenomenon. It has been shown that the slip-locking can be avoided by using quadratic shape function for axial displacement interpolations, by providing an additional middle node in each layer. Four examples are investigated in this paper. The prediction as well as the performance of the proposed direct stiffness method, are compared against an existing solution from the literature. In addition, slip-locking problem is addressed and the performance of the displacement-based method against the exact formulation is evaluated. The influence of warping effects on the composite beam response is assessed. Finally, a parametric study is conducted to evaluate the influence of connection rigidity and the coupling of the displacement fields on slip distributions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":56133,"journal":{"name":"Finite Elements in Analysis and Design","volume":"237 ","pages":"Article 104163"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140640835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The work is divided in two parts. In Part I, the numerical locking effects inherent to the solid-shell approach are characterized using a variety of benchmark problems in the infinitesimal strain approximation. In Part II, the results are extended to formulate the mixed approach in finite strain hyperelastic problems. In the present work, the stabilized mixed displacement–stress formulation is proven to be adequate to deal with all kinds of numerical locking. Additionally, a more comprehensive analysis of each individual type of numerical locking, how it is triggered and how it is overcome is also provided. The numerical locking usually occurs when parasitic strains overtake the system of equations through specific components of the stress tensor. To properly analyze them, the direction of each component of the stress tensor has been defined with respect to the shell directors. Therefore, it becomes necessary to formulate the solid-shell problem in curvilinear coordinates, allowing to give mechanical meaning to the stress components (shear, twisting, membrane and thickness stresses) independently of the global frame of reference. The conditions in which numerical locking is triggered as well as the stress tensor component responsible of correcting the locking behavior have been identified individually by characterizing the numerical response of a set of different benchmark problems.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":56133,"journal":{"name":"Finite Elements in Analysis and Design","volume":"236 ","pages":"Article 104168"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0168874X24000623/pdfft?md5=7c545daa21b7e5817ed48636c9015b4a&pid=1-s2.0-S0168874X24000623-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140631635","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the introduction of two special Heaviside projections into the two-step filtering and projection procedure, the external coating and the substrate region can be well identified by using several modified design variables. Then, the material distribution of the multi-material infilling is obtained by multiplying the infill identification field with the piece-wisely projected design variables and optimized via the mathematical programming algorithm under the ordered SIMP framework. Using an eroded density field and its original field, the uniform thickness of the external coating can be well controlled. The proposed approach for optimizing coated structures with multi-phase infill materials is easy to implement due to its implementation relying on those frequently-used filtering and projection operations. Besides, without introducing any additional design variables, the method developed in this paper inherits the advantages of the ordered SIMP method and has great calculation efficiency and stable iteration performance. With the consideration of several issues such as different coating thicknesses and different design parameters, several 2D numerical examples are studied to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, as well as a 3D example.

To account size-dependent effects at the nanoscale, the classical theory model is extended with two additional scale parameters. However, this extended model necessitates at least the third derivative of the approximation function, which is incompatible with the standard finite element method. So, IGA with NURBS offers higher-order continuity through its basis functions, making it well-suited for this size-dependent model. To simplify computations, a power-law scheme is employed to represent the material properties. Various distribution types of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) including UD, FG-X, FG-O and FG-V are incorporated to investigate their effects on mechanical behaviors of CNT-MEE nanoplates. The governing equations of motion are derived in their weak form using the principle of extended virtual displacement and then solved by isogeometric analysis (IGA). The impact of the magnetic, electric and elastic fields on the coupling behaviors of CNT-MEE nanoplates are studied. Specially, parametric studies are conducted to analyze the influence of geometrical parameters, CNT distributions, CNT volume fraction, matrix volume fraction, electric voltage, magnetic potential, nonlocal and strain gradient parameters on the natural frequencies of the CNT-MEE nanoplates. Comparisons between the results obtained using NSGT and the classical theory reveal significant findings.
