In this paper, linear buckling analysis of a curved sandwich beam with a flexible core is investigated. Derivation of equations for face sheets is accomplished via the classical theory of curved beam, whereas for the flexible core, the elasticity equations in polar coordinates are implemented. Employing the von-Karman type geometrical non-linearity in strain-displacement relations, nonlinear governing equations are resulted. Linear pre-buckling analysis is performed neglecting the rotation effects in pre-buckling state. Stability equations are concluded based on the adjacent equilibrium criterion. Considering the movable simply supported type of boundary conditions, suitable trigonometric solutions are adopted which satisfy the assumed edge conditions. The critical uniform load of the beam is obtained as a closed-form expression. Numerical results cover the effects of various parameters on the critical buckling load of the curved beam. It is shown that, face thickness, core thickness, core module, fiber angle of faces, stacking sequence of faces and openin angle of the beam all affect greatly on the buckling pressure of the beam and its buckled shape.

In this paper, free vibration of a sandwich curved beam with a functionally graded (FG) core was investigated. Closed-form formulations of two-dimensional (2D) refined higher order beam theory (RHOBT) without neglecting the amount of z/R was derived and used. The present RHOBT analysis incorporated a trapezoidal shape factor that arose due to the fact that stresses through the beam thickness were integrated over a curved surface. The solutions presented herein were compared with the available numerical and analytical solutions in the related literature and excellent agreement was obtained. Effects of some dimensionless parameters on the structural response were investigated to show their effects on fundamental natural frequency of the curved beam. In all the cases, variations of the material constant number were calculated and presented. Effect of changing ratio of core to beam thickness on the fundamental natural frequency depended on the amount of the material constant number.

In this paper, the forced resonance vibration of porous functionally graded (FG) curved nanobeam is examined. In order to capture the hardening and softening mechanisms of nanostructure, the nonlocal strain gradient theory is employed to build the size-dependent model. Using the Timoshenko beam theory together with the Hamilton principle, the equations of motion for the curved nanobeam are derived. Then, Navier series are used in order to obtain the dynamical deflections of the porous FG curved nanobeam with simply-supported ends. It is found that the resonance position of the nanobeam is very sensitive to the nonlocal and strain gradient parameters, material variation, porosity coefficient, as well as geometrical conditions. The results indicate that the resonance position is postponed by increasing the strain gradient parameter, while the nonlocal parameter has the opposite effect on the results. Furthermore, increasing the opening angle or length-to-thickness ratio will result in resonance position moves to lower-load frequency.

In this study, we present a new highly accurate two-dimensional curved composite beam element. The present element, which is based on the Hellinger-Reissner variational principle and classical lamination theory, employs consistent stress parameters corresponding to cubic displacement polynomials with additional nodeless degrees to resolve the numerical difficulties due to the spurious constraints. The stress parameters are eliminated and the nodeless degrees are condensed out to obtain the (9x9) element stiffness matrix. It should be noted that the stacking sequences without transverse deformation to the load plane makes a two dimensional analysis of curved composite beams practically useful . Several numerical examples confirm the superior locking-free behavior of the present higher-order laminated curved beam element.

Derivation procedures of exact elastic element stiffness matrix of thin-walled curved beams are rigorously presented for the static analysis. An exact elastic element stiffness matrix is established from governing equations for a uniform curved beam element with nonsymmetric thin-walled cross section. First this numerical technique is accomplished via a generalized linear eigenvalue problem by introducing 14 displacement parameters and a system of linear algebraic equations with complex matrices. Thus, the displacement functions of displacement parameters are exactly derived and finally exact stiffness matrices are determined using member force-displacement relationships. The displacement and normal stress of the section are evaluated and compared with thin-walled straight and curved beam element or results of the analysis using shell elements for the thin-walled curved beam structure in order to demonstrate the validity of this study.

It is well known that in typical displacement-based curved beam elements, the stiffness matrix is overestimated and as a result displacement predictions show gross error for the thin beam case. In this paper, a stain based curved beam element with 2 nodes is formulated based on shallow beam geometry. At the element level, the curvature and membrane strain fields are approximated independently and the displacement fields are obtained by integrating the strain fields. Three test problems are given to demonstrate the numerical performance of the element. Analysis results obtained reveal that the element is free for locking and very effectively applicable to deeply as well as shallowly curved beams.

A solution of space curved bars with generalized Winkler soil found by means of Transfer Matrix Method is presented. Distributed, concentrated loads and imposed strains are applied to the beam as well as rigid or elastic boundaries are considered at the ends. The proposed approach gives the analytical and numerical exact solution for circular beams and rings, loaded in the plane or perpendicular to it. A well-approximated solution can be found for general space curved bars with complex geometry. Elastic foundation is characterized by six parameters of stiffness in different directions: three for rectilinear springs and three for rotational springs. The beam has axial, shear, bending and torsional stiffness. Numerical examples are given in order to solve practical cases of straight and curved foundations. The presented method can be applied to a wide range of problems, including the study of tanks, shells and complex foundation systems. The particular case of box girder distortion can also be studied through the beam on elastic foundation (BEF) analogy.

교통수요의 증가에 따른 교통혼잡을 피하기 위하여 고가도로와 고속도로, 경전철 등이 활발히 건설되고 있으며, 이에 따라 접속부 등과 같은 곡률반경이 작은 곡선교 구간의 발생이 증가하고 있다. 초기에는 직선형의 주형을 연결하여 곡선을 이루는 방법을 사용하였으나, 공사비의 증가와 미관성 측면에서 용이하지 않아 강재를 사용한 곡선주형이 개발되어 적용되고 있다. 강재의 특성상 기하학적인 형상을 구현하는데 상대적으로 손쉽기 때문에 대부분의 곡선교에서는 강재를 이용한 강박스 거더교를 주로 사용하고 있다. 그러나 강박스 거더교는 초기 공사비가 고가이고, 도장과 같은 지속적인 유지관리가 필요한 문제점을 가지고 있다. 최근에는 I형 강재 플레이트 거더를 사용하는 방법이 활발히 연구되고 있으나 곡선 I형상의 특성상 개단면이고 얇은 플레이트를 사용하기 때문에 비틀림 강성이 매우 작아 안전성에 문제가 있는 것으로 지적되고 있다. 이러한 곡선강교의 대안으로 경제성과 안전성이 확보되는 프리캐스트 PSC 곡선거더가 제시되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 프리캐스트 PSC 곡선거더를 효율적으로 제작할 수 있는 스마트 몰드 시스템을 개발하고 이를 적용한 2주형 40m 실물교량의 정적 휨 파괴 실험을 통하여 안전성을 확인하고자 한다. 제작단계에서 단일 거더는 곡률반경에 의해 거더의 전도에 대한 안정성이 문제가 있으나 가로보로 연결된 멀티거더는 하중분배가 적절히 이루어지며 안정성이 확보되는 것으로 나타났다. 정적구조 실험결과에서는 균열하중(1,400 kN)이 설계하중(450 kN)의 약 3배 이상 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 허용처짐량에 해당하는 하중은 설계하중의 4배인 1,800 kN에서 발생하여 사용성과 안전성이 모두 확보되는 것으로 나타났다.
