“GBT-based local and global vibration analysis of loaded composite thin-walled members”. International Journal of Structural Stability and Dynamics, 6(1):1–29
ABSTRACT: This paper begins by presenting a Generalized Beam Theory (GBT) formulation for analyzing the vibration behavior of loaded composite thin-walled members, which accounts for the effects of (i) cross-section in-plane deformation, (ii) shear deformation, (iii) geometric and material coupling, (iv) primary, secondary and non-linear warping, and (v) rotary inertia. This formulation is then used to investigate the local and global vibration behavior of lipped channel columns and beams displaying cross-ply orthotropy, focusing on issues dealing with the variation of the fundamental frequency and vibration mode nature with the member length and applied stress level. For validation purposes, some GBT-based results are also compared with values obtained by means of 4-node shell finite element analyses using ABAQUS. Some relevant conclusions are drawn concerning the dependence of the member vibration mode shape (wave number) on the compression/bending level (applied-to-critical ratio).
