• Classical plate theory (CPT), of which classical
lamination theory (CLT) assume that there is no shear deformation. • Strains vary linearly through the thickness and normal remain normal (Kirchoff-Love assumptions, 1888). • Gustav Kirchoff (1824-1887, German),Augustus Love (1863-1940, British) • There are shear deformation theories that remove the second assumption, and theories that remove both. • We will go over the Timoshenko beam theory that removes the second assumption for beams. • Then we will look at some results for plates. Timoshenko beam theory (Wikipedia) • Stephen Timoshenko (1878-1972, Ukraine, US) proposed in 1921. • Strain is still linear function of z, but normal do not remain normal Basic equations • Displacements 𝑢 = − 𝑧𝜑 𝑥 , 𝑤 = 𝑤 𝑥 , 𝑣 = 0 • Governing equations d 2 d 2 EI q( x) dx dx dw 1 d d EI dx kAG dx dx • Combined d 4w EI d 2 q EI 4 q ( x) dx kAG dx 2 Beam under end load P PL3 PL wtip • Tip displacement 3EI kGA • Ratio of shear to bending deformation 3E 2 wshear I/A wbending kG L • k is 1 for an ideal I beam, 5/6 for rectangular section. • For metals, 3E/kG is close to 10, so shear deformation is negligible except for stubby beams with radius of inertia over L less than 10. • For composites G is much smaller, hence shear deformation more important Representative results • Source: Whitney’s Structural Analysis of laminated Anisotropic Plates, Chapter 10, Technomic, 1987. • Material characteristics 𝐸𝐿 Τ𝐸𝑇 = 25, 𝐺𝐿𝑇 Τ𝐸𝑇 = 0.5, 𝐺𝑇𝑇 Τ𝐸𝑇 = 0.2, 𝜈𝐿𝑇 = 0.25 • Weaker in shear than the materials we have used. Displacements Buckling Frequency Shear stresses • Shear loading leads to shear stresses, which are important for delamination failure. • Shear stresses can be approximated as they are done in beam theory. • Good paper: Simplified shear solution for determination of shear stress distribution in a composite panel from the applied shear resultant, by Bednarcyk, Aboudi, Yarrington and Collier (see link in schedule).
