Exact analytical and numerical solutions of stability problems for a straight composite bar subjected to axial compression and torsion

  • Published:
Mechanics of Composite Materials Aims and scope

Based on linearized equations of the theory of elastic stability of straight composite bars with a low shear rigidity, which are constructed using the consistent geometrically nonlinear equations of elasticity theory for small deformations and arbitrary displacements and a kinematic model of Timoshenko type, exact analytical solutions of nonclassical stability problems are obtained for a bar subjected to axial compression and torsion for various modes of end fixation. It is shown that the problem of direct determination of the critical parameter of the compressive load at a given torque parameter leads to transcendental characteristic equations that are solvable only if bar ends have cylindrical hinges. At the same time, we succeeded in obtaining solutions to these equations in terms of wave formation parameters of the bar; these parameters, in turn, enabled us to find the parameter of the critical load at any boundary conditions. Also, an algorithm for numerical solution of the problems stated is proposed, which is based on reducing the problems to systems of integroalgebraic equations with Volterra-type operators and on solving these equations by the method of mechanical quadratures (finite sums). It is demonstrated that such numerical solutions exist only for certain ranges of parameters of the bar and of the parameter of torque. In the general case, they can not be obtained by the numerical method used. It is also shown that the well-known solutions of the stability problem for a bar subjected to torsion or to compression with torsion are in correct.
