NON-LINEAR STABILITY OF CYLINDRICAL PANELS MADE OF TRANSVERSALLY FUNCTIONALLY GRADED MATERIAL WITH UNIFORMLY SHORTENED EDGES
Journal Title: ROMANIAN JOURNAL OF TECHNICAL SCIENCES - APPLIED MECHANICS - Year 2018, Vol 63, Issue 3
Abstract
The present paper deals with FGM cylindrical panels with uniformly shortened edges when the shear lag phenomenon and distortional deformations are taken into account. A shell model (2D) was adopted. A method of the modal solution to the nonlinear stability problem within Koiter’s asymptotic theory, using the semianalytical method (SAM) and the transition matrix method, was applied. Post-buckling equilibrium paths for two FGM panels of step-variable gradation along the circumferential direction within the first- and second-order non-linear approximation were determined.

INTERNAL REACTION FORCES IN DYNAMICS OF A PLANAR PARALLEL MANIPULATOR
Three identical legs connecting to the moving platform of a planar parallel manipulator are located in the same vertical plane. Knowing the motion of the platform, we determine the positions, velocities and accelerations...
DIFFERENTIAL-DYNAMIC LOGIC FOR COOPERATIVE ROBOTIC SYSTEMS
Hybrid systems are dynamical systems with interacting discrete transitions and continuous evolutions described by differential equations. They combine the digital and continuous physical effects resulting from the cooper...
HOT AIR ENGINE, DEVELOPED AND PATENTED BY TRAIAN VUIA, A ROMANIAN PERFORMANCE FOR 21st CENTURY
After thoroughly researching data from national archives, libraries, and important technical studies from Romania and abroad, I concluded that the hot air and closed-circuit engine built, tested, and patented by Romanian...
ON THE ACOUSTICS OF THE STICK-SLIP PHENOMENON
In this paper, the acoustics and friction of the stick-slip phenomenon is discussed. The interaction friction-vibration gives rise to oscillations within solids which frequently lead to radiation of sound to the surround...
CHECKING ROBUSTNESS FOR A CONCRETE ROADWAY VIADUCT
Experts’ pursuits in constructions are connected now with the structural robustness’ notions and how to prevent the partial, full or disproportioned collapse. The question: “What is robustness?” has by far no unitary and...
