Abstract

This paper presents an axisymmetric layerwise finite element formulation for dynamic analysis of laminated structures with embedded viscoelastic material whose constitutive behavior is represented by the Prony-generalized Maxwell series. To account the time dependence of the constitutive relations of linear viscoelastic materials, the incremental formulation in the temporal domain is used. Layerwise finite element has been shown to provide an efficient and accurate tool for the simulation of laminated structure. Most of the previous work on numerical simulation of laminated structures has been limited to elastic material behavior. Thus, the current work focuses on layerwise finite element analysis of laminated structures with embedded viscoelastic material. A computer code based on the presented formulation has been developed to provide the numerical results. The present approach is verified by studying its convergence behavior and comparing the numerical results with those obtained using the ABAQUS software. Finally, and as an application of the presented formulation, the effects of load duration on the dynamic structural responses of multilayered pavements are studied.
