A SEMI-ANALYTICAL MODEL FOR COMPOSITE AND SANDWICH PLATES 85
Equation (11), denes the governing two-point BVP in ODEs through
thickness of the laminate in the domain h,2 - z - h,2 with stress components
known at the top and bottom faces. The basic approach to the numerical integration
of the BVP dened in Eq. (11) is to transform the given BVP into a set of IVPsone
non-homogeneous and n,2 homogeneous. The solution of BVP dened by Eq. (11)
is then obtained by forming a linear combination of one non-homogeneous and n,2
homogeneous solutions so as to satisfy the boundary conditions at z = h,2 [17].
This gives rise to a system of n,2 linear algebraic equations, the solutions of which
determines the unknown n,2 components, X
1
, X
2
and X
3
(Table 2) at the starting
edge z = h,2. Then a nal numerical integration of Eq. (11) produces the desired
results. Availability of efcient, accurate and robust ODE numerical integrators
for IVPs helps in computing reliable values of the primary variables through the
thickness. Change in material properties are incorporated by changing coefcients
of material matrix appropriately for each lamina.
Secondary Relations
Secondary variables, o
x
, o
,
and t

can be expressed in terms of primary
variables with the help of constitutive and strain-displacement relation as,

NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION
A computer code is developed by incorporating the present formulation in
FORTRAN 90 for the analysis of composite and sandwich plates under thermal
load. Numerical investigations on various examples have been performed including
validation of the present semi-analytical formulation and solution of new problems.
The 3D elasticity solution presented by Bhaskar et al. [3] and Rohwer et al. [14]
and other analytical solutions available in the literature have been used for proper
comparison of the obtained results. Material properties used here have been
tabulated in Table 3.
Two thermal load cases are considered here for numerical studies.
1. Equal temperature rise of the bottom and the top surface of the plate with
sinusoidal inplane variations: AT(x, ,, h,2) = T
0

2. Equal rise and fall of temperature of the top and bottom surface of the plate with
sinusoidal inplane variations: AT(x, ,, h,2) = AT(x, ,, h,2) = T
0

A convergence study on number of steps required for numerical integration
in the thickness direction of the laminate is performed rst for all examples. It is
observed in all examples that 2030 steps are enough for converged solution. Details
of the convergence studies are not presented here for the sake of brevity. Illustrative
examples considered in the present work are discussed next.
Example 1
A homogeneous, orthotropic plate with simple support end conditions
(Table 1) on all four edges and subjected to thermal load has been considered
to study the effect of the temperature distribution and validate the present
methodology. Material properties are presented in Table 3(I). The normalized
maximum stresses (o
x
, o
,
, t
x,
, t
xz
, t
,z
) and transverse displacement (n) for various
aspect ratios ranging from thick to thin plate are presented in Table 4 for both
type of thermal loads. Moreover, through thickness variations of transverse shear
stress (t
xz
), transverse normal stress (o
z
), in-plane normal stress (o
x
) and transverse
displacement (n) for an aspect ratio of 5 are shown in Figures 3 and 4 for

et al. [14] are also plotted on same trace for comparison of the present solution. This
comparison clearly indicates that the present results are very close to the elasticity
solutions compared to HOST and thus proves the superiority of the present model.
Large value of t

(Table 4) is due to higher modulus values
of G

constant temperature (Case A). Moreover, in case B, the transverse normal stress

Bhaskar et al. [3]. Present results are seen to be closest to the elasticity solutions.
Through thickness variations of transverse shear stress (t
xz
), transverse normal
stress (o
z
), inplane normal stress (o
x
) and inplane displacement (u) for an aspect
ratio of 5 have been presented in Figures 5 and 6 for case A and case B, respectively.
Solutions are only available for varied temperature (Case B) and solutions with
constant temperature (Case A) will be useful as benchmark solution in future.
Variation of transverse shear stress (t
xz
) for constant temperature (Case A) is found
to be smooth curved prole in the top and bottom lamina (0
,90
,0
symmetric
composite plate subjected to thermal load, AT(x, ,, h,2) = T
0

(Case B).
normal stress (o
z
) is observed for this conguration in both types of loadings. In
case of constant temperature (Case A), o
z
in top and bottom lamina (0
) shows
compression whereas, o
z
in middle lamina (90
) is
compressive, o
z
in bottom lamina (0
) is tensile and o
z
in middle lamina (90
)
has mixed behavior of compression and tension below and above the mid-surface
(Figure 6b) which proves the necessity of rened model to model the accurately such
highly non-linear behaviour. All variations are observed to be symmetric about the
mid-surface as expected.
