Abstract
AbstractThe geometrical nonlinear effects caused by large displacements and rotations over the cross section of composite thin-walled structures are investigated in this work. The geometrical nonlinear equations are solved within the finite element method framework, adopting the Newton–Raphson scheme and an arc-length method. Inherently, to investigate cross-sectional nonlinear kinematics, low- to higher-order theories are employed by using the Carrera unified formulation, which provides a tool to generate refined theories of structures in a systematic manner. In particular, beams and shell-like laminated composite structures are analyzed using a layerwise approach, according to which each layer has its own independent kinematics. Different stacking sequences are analyzed, to highlight the influence of the cross-ply angle on the static responses. The results show that the geometrical nonlinear effects play a crucial role, mainly when higher-order theories are utilized.
