Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Nonlocal Static Modeling of Laminated Composite Shells Using Peridynamic Differential Operator in a Higher-Order Shear Deformation Framework(Elsevier Ltd, 2025) Bab, Yonca; Dorduncu, Mehmet; Kutlu, Akif; Markert, BerndThis study investigates the flexural behaviour of the laminated composite shells in the framework of Higher-Order Shear Deformation Theory (HSDT) and Peridynamic Differential Operator (PDDO), namely PD-HSDT, for the first time. Laminated composite shell structures are widely used in aerospace, automotive, and marine industries due to their high strength-to-weight ratio and design flexibility. Therefore, understanding their mechanical behavior under various loading conditions is crucial for ensuring structural reliability and performance optimization. However, such structures may possess complex curvatures and highly heterogenous laminate stackings, leading to inaccurate numerical stress analyses. The HSDT successfully captures displacement and stress distributions as well as cross-sectional warping through higher-order functions exist in the kinematics. Moreover, the PDDO represents the local derivatives in their nonlocal form, making it well-suited for problems involving higher-order derivatives and discontinuities. The governing equations and boundary conditions of the HSDT are solved by using the PDDO to accurately achieve the stress and displacement fields in the laminated composite shells. The robustness of the PD-HSDT is established by considering various loading and boundary conditions. The proposed approach demonstrates high accuracy in stress and displacement predictions when validated against reference solutions available in existing literature. This indicates strong potential for extending the methodology to more complex loading scenarios and damage mechanisms in future studies.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 7Physics-Based Machine Learning for Modeling of Laminated Composite Plates Based on Refined Zigzag Theory(Springer, 2025) Ermis, Merve; Dorduncu, Mehmet; Aydogan, GokayPhysics-based machine learning techniques have recently gained prominence for their ability to model complex material and structural behavior, particularly in laminated composite structures. This study introduces an innovative approach, being the first to employ physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) in conjunction with refined zigzag theory (RZT) for the stress analysis of laminated composite plates. A multi-objective loss function integrates governing partial differential equations (PDEs) and boundary conditions, embedding physical principles into the analysis. Using multiple fully connected artificial neural networks, called feedforward deep neural networks, tailored to handle PDEs, PINNs are trained using automatic differentiation. This training process minimizes a loss function that incorporates the PDEs governing the underlying physical laws. RZT, particularly suitable for the stress analysis of thick and moderately thick plates, simplifies the formulation by using only seven kinematic variables, eliminating the need for shear correction factors. The capability of the proposed method is validated through several benchmark cases in stress analysis, including 3D elasticity solutions, analytical solutions, and experimental results from a three-point bending test based on displacement measurements reported in the literature. These results show consistent agreement with the referenced solutions, confirming the accuracy and reliability of the proposed method. Comprehensive evaluations are conducted to examine the effects of softcore presence, elastic foundation, various lamination schemes, and differing loading and boundary conditions on the stress distribution in laminated plates.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7Bond-Based Peridynamic Fatigue Analysis of Ductile Materials With Neuber's Plasticity Correction(Springer, 2024) Altay, Ugur; Dorduncu, Mehmet; Kadioglu, Suat; Madenci, ErdoganThis study introduces an approach for performing bond-based (BB) peridynamic (PD) fatigue analysis of ductile materials. Existing BB PD fatigue models do not account for the effect of plastic deformation. The current approach addresses this by incorporating Neuber's plasticity correction concept into the fatigue model. Neuber's correction adjusts the stress and strain predictions of the PD elastic solution to account for local plastic deformation around crack tips. The PD fatigue simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of this method and improvements in fatigue life predictions by considering local plasticity effects. The numerical results first examine the response of a ductile plate without a crack under quasi-static monotonic loading. Subsequently, specimens exhibiting Mode I and mixed-mode crack propagation paths due to cyclic loading are analyzed. The PD predictions accurately capture the test data. Additionally, the model specifically investigates the effect of a stop hole on fatigue life.
