Geometrically nonlinear flexural analysis of hygro-thermo-elastic laminated composite doubly curved shell panel
Source abstract
Abstract
In this article, nonlinear flexural behaviour of laminated composite doubly curved shell panel is investigated under hygro-thermo-mechanical loading by considering the degraded composite material properties through a micromechanical model. The laminated panel is modelled using higher order shear deformation mid-plane kinematics and Green–Lagrange geometric nonlinear strain displacement relations. In the present case, all the nonlinear higher order terms are included in the mathematical model to obtain the exact flexure of the structural panel. The nonlinear system governing equations are derived using variational method and discretised using the nonlinear finite element steps. Numerical results are computed through direct iterative method and validated by comparing with those published results available in open literature. Finally, wide variety of numerical examples are computed using the proposed model to address the effect of hygrothermal conditions, geometrical and material parameters and support conditions on the flexural behaviour of laminated composite doubly curved shell panel.
