IMPERFECTION SENSITIVITY OF THIN PLATES LOADED IN SHEAR
Journal Title: ROMANIAN JOURNAL OF TECHNICAL SCIENCES - APPLIED MECHANICS - Year 2014, Vol 59, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper deals with imperfection sensitivity analysis of longitudinally stiffened thin plates loaded in shear. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the use of optimization method for direct determination of the worst imperfection shape. New linear constraints are considered in optimization method in order to find not only the worst but also realistic imperfection shape. Further on, different solutions of arbitrary shapes that are used to estimate the worst imperfection are introduced and compared. Finally, a parametric analysis seeking the worst imperfection shape is performed and discussed.

PREDICTION OF THE FORMING LIMIT CURVES USING GTN DAMAGE MODEL
In this paper, the forming limit curve of an AA6016-T4 sheet metal is constructed using Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman (GTN), Marciniak-Kuczynski (M-K) and Modified Maximum Force Criterion (MMFC) models. The mechanical behav...
INVESTIGATION OF THE ELASTOPLASTIC BEHAVIOR OF FCC POLYCRYTALS USING A FFT NUMERICAL SCHEME
This work is devoted to the study of the effective mechanical response and strain and stress field fluctuations in FCC untextured polycrystals using a full-field numerical approach for a crystalline rate-independent elas...
THE INFLUENCE OF THE INITIAL JOINT CONFIGURATION ON THE REDUNDANCY RESOLUTION USING SEARCH METHODS
The redundancy problem concerns here a serial planar redundant manipulator with four degrees of freedom. More precisely, the end-effector of this redundant manipulator must achieve the imposed task of following the conto...
