Analyse numérique de structures sandwichs viscoélastiques et modèle à dérivées fractionnaires
2019
The work deals with the free vibration problem of sandwich structures with a viscoelastic core. Zener model with fractional derivatives with four parameters is used to describe the viscoelastic behaviour. The fractional law is implemented in a numerical tool based on the Ritz method and a variable kinematics approach which is particularly adapted for sandwich plate modelling, the Sublaminate Generalized Unified Formulation (SGUF). The non-linear eigenvalue problem that arises from the frequency dependence of the viscoelastic properties is solved using an iterative algorithm. The approach is validated on several examples consisting of viscoelastic sandwich beam and plate structures, includin…
A family of higher-order single layer plate models meeting Cz0-requirements for arbitrary laminates
2019
Abstract In the framework of displacement-based equivalent single layer (ESL) plate theories for laminates, this paper presents a generic and automatic method to extend a basis higher-order shear deformation theory (polynomial, trigonometric, hyperbolic…) to a multilayer C z 0 higher-order shear deformation theory. The key idea is to enhance the description of the cross-sectional warping: the odd high-order C z 1 function of the basis model is replaced by one odd and one even high-order function and including the characteristic zig-zag behaviour by means of piecewise linear functions. In order to account for arbitrary lamination schemes, four such piecewise continuous functions are consider…
