摘要

In this research, the nonlinear local and nonlocal analysis of an annular sector plate is studied and solved based on a new modified higher-order shear deformation theory. Due to the shortcomings of HSDT in the two-dimensional nonlinear analysis, it is modified by eliminating the defects, and a comprehensive theory is presented for analyzing the mechanical behavior of an annular sector sheet in general form. The strain field is developed by considering the von Karman assumptions and also the nonlocal theory of Eringen from which the classical local analysis can be deduced conveniently by neglecting the small-scale effects. Whereas the annular sector plate is assumed, the sector, annular/circular, rectangular and solid circular plates can be simulated. Afterward, the nonlocal constitutive equations are derived and solved by using the two-dimensional SAPM (Dastjerdi et al. in Compos B Eng 98, 78-87, 2016). Moreover, a combination of the extended Kantorovich method and one-dimensional SAPM is applied. Since the presented theory is relatively new and similar studying was not available in order to compare the results, a comparison is done with the results of lower-order theories. Finally, the effect of various parameters, such as boundary conditions, different theories, nonlocal and local analyses, loading and the size of the plate, on the mechanical behavior of an annular sector plate are investigated.
