Abstract
In this paper, theories of structures based on hierarchical Jacobi expansions are explored for the static analysis of multilayered beams, plates and shells. They belong to the family of classical orthogonal polynomials. This expansion is employed in the framework of the Carrera Unified Formulation (CUF), which allows to generate finite element stiffness matrices in a straightforward way. CUF allows also to employ both layer-wise and equivalent single layer approaches in order to obtain the desired degree of precision and computational cost. In this work, CUF is exploited for the analysis of one-dimensional beams and two-dimensional plates and shells, and several case studies from the literature are analysed. Displacements, in-plane, transverse and shear stresses are shown. In particular, for some benchmarks, the shear stresses are calculated using the constitutive relations and the stress recovery technique. The obtained results clearly show the convenience of using equivalent single layer models when calculating displacements, in-plane stresses and shear stresses recovered by three-dimensional indefinite equilibrium equations. On the other hand, layer-wise models are able to accurately predict the structural behaviour, even though higher degrees of freedom are needed.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
