Effect of graphene reinforcement distribution on energy release rate and vibration of thermally pre/post-buckled delaminated composite plates

Abstract The nonlinear thermal stability responses of functionally graded graphene-reinforced composite (FG-GRC) laminated plates with single or multiple through-the-width delaminations, are investigated in the article. The possibility of delamination growth is evaluated using the three-dimensional crack tip element (3D-CTE) method, which determines the energy release rate (ERR) at the delamination edge. Furthermore, the influence of delamination configurations and the types of graphene reinforcement distribution patterns, on the free vibration of FG-GRC delaminated plates in thermally pre/post-buckled regimes is evaluated. The von Karman geometrical nonlinearity is adopted in a solution based on the layerwise third-order shear deformation theory (TSDT). The nonlinear equilibrium equations derived by the minimum total potential energy principle are solved using the Ritz method in conjunction with the Newton–Raphson iterative procedure. A three-dimensional finite element model is also developed using ABAQUS to corroborate the accuracy of the theoretical results. Parametric studies reveal that while the FGX graphene distribution pattern improves the bending stiffness of delaminated composite plates more than FGA, the ERR at the near surface delamination edge in FGX pattern is twice as high as that in FGA. This implies that the possibility of delamination propagation in FGX plates can be higher than FGA. Additionally, while the fundamental frequency of the FGX plate with and without delamination exceeds the frequency of other graphene distribution patterns at the reference temperature, its natural frequency is the lowest among all patterns in the post-buckled regime.
Highlights The behavior of these plates with simply supported boundary conditions is a unique stable equilibrium path. For plates with a single delamination, CFCF boundary leads to a moderate mixed-mode buckling for all graphene distribution patterns. FGX distribution reduces the thermal postbuckling deflection of the composite plate with a single delamination. FG-GRC plates with a single near-surface delamination under CFCF condition, buckling mode shapes and tendency of ERR are independent to the graphene distribution. For FG-GRC plates with CFCF boundary conditions, the delamination can lead to an enhancement in the fundamental frequencies.
