Stochastic Limited Component Clasping Reaction of Covered Composite Plate with Arbitrary Framework Properties in Warm Climate: Micromechanical Model

Abstract

This work uses a micromechanical technique to show how random system features affect the buckling response of laminated composite plates in temperature conditions. Independent random variables are used to simulate the system attributes, including foundation parameters, fiber volume fractions of the corresponding fiber and matrix ingredients, and thermo-material properties. The temperature field is thought to consist of consistent temperature distributions over the thickness and surface of the plate. The composite's material properties are influenced by temperature variations and are determined using a micromechanical model. The basic formulation is based on higher order shear deformation plate theory and general von-Karman types of nonlinearity. A direct iterative based C0 nonlinear finite element method in conjunction mean centered first order perturbation technique is out lined and solved the stochasticlinear generalized Eigen value problem. The developed stochastic procedure is usefully used for thermally induced problem based on micromechanical approach with areasonable accuracy. Parametric studies are carried out to see the effect of volume fractions, amplitude ratios, temperature increments, temperature distributions geometric parameters, lay-ups, boundary
conditions and foundation parameters on the mean and variance of plate frequency. The present outlined approach has been validated with those available results in literatures and independent Monte-Carlo simulation.
