Postbuckling analysis and imperfection sensitivity of viscoplastic plates and cylindrical panels
AbstractThe postbuckling behaviour of elastic-viscoplastic rectangular plates and cylindrical panels is analysed. The rate-dependent inelastic material behaviour is modelled by a unified theory of viscoplasticity. Initial geometrical imperfections of the inelastic structure are included and their effect on the postbuckling behaviour is investigated. The analysis relies on an incremental approach in which at each loading increment the Galerkin method is employed. Results are presented for a plate made of an elastic-viscoplastic material and subjected to a uniaxial compression, applied at a constant strain rate on both edges. The results display the applied loading against the out-of-plane displacement, and the effects of loading rate and imperfection sensitivity. It turns out that there is a significant difference between the postbuckling behaviour of a plate in the two cases: (1) when the bifurcation buckling of a geometrically perfect plate occurs in the elastic region, and (2) when it occurs after a plastic flow takes place.
