Description
Summary:Materials/metals, polymers, reinforced plastics, composites, functionally graded materials, ceramics and nano materials find significant place in many engineering and scientific applications. The material structural members such as plates and beams are subjected to structural deformation owing to several external and internal factors such as temperature, hysteresis and so on. Therefore, to analyze the structural deformation of these material structures, its nonlinear behavior modeling is relevant. The rapid progress in high speed computing devices resolve research problems involving material non-linearity behavior such as post-buckling behavior in varied structures. The post-buckling behavior of commonly used structural elements especially plates under thermal and mechanical loads are of great practically important research topic. Therefore, a comparative study on the thermal post buckling behavior of plates by various numerical methods such as finite element formulation, shear deformation theory, Rayleigh – Ritz method, iteration methods and so on will be helpful to obtain a cutting edge on numerical solutions and their applications in varied engineering applications. This paper reports a novel mathematical formulation involving substitution method to evaluate and compare the thermal post buckling load carrying capacity of circular plates with minimal errors.
