AbstractThe in-plane thermoelastic response of curved beams made of porous materials with different types of functionally graded (FG) porosity is studied in this research contribution. Nonlinear governing equations are derived based on the first-order shear deformation theory along with the nonlinear Green strains. The nonlinear governing equations are solved by the aid of the Rayleigh–Ritz method along with the Newton–Raphson method. The modified rule-of-mixture is employed to derive the material properties of imperfect FG porous curved beams. Comprehensive parametric studies are conducted to explore the effects of volume fraction and various dispersion patterns of porosities, temperature field, and arch geometry as well as boundary conditions on the nonlinear equilibrium path and stability behavior of the FG porous curved beams. Results reveal that dispersion and volume fraction of porosities have a significant effect on the thermal stability path, maximum stress, and bending moment at the crown of the curved beams. Moreover, the influence of porosity dispersion and structural geometry on the central radial and in-plane displacement of the curved beams is evaluated. Results show that various boundary conditions make a considerable difference in the central radial displacements of the curved beams with the same porosity dispersion. Due to the absence of similar results in the specialized literature, this paper is likely to provide pertinent results that are instrumental toward a reliable design of FG porous curved beams in thermal environment.

The present work investigates the free vibration behavior of double-tapered functionally graded beams rotating in thermal environment, using an improved mathematical model. The functional gradation for ceramic–metal compositions, following power-law, is considered to be symmetric with respect to the mid-plane, leading to metal-rich core and ceramic-rich outer surfaces of the beam. The temperature dependence of the material properties are considered using Touloukian model. The nonlinearity in strain–displacement relationships for both the axial and transverse shear strains are considered. Firstly, the governing equations for deformed beam configuration under time-independent centrifugal loading are obtained using minimum total potential energy principle, and the solution is obtained following Ritz method. Then the free vibration problem of the centrifugally deformed beam is formulated employing Lagrange’s principle and considering tangent stiffness of the deformed beam configuration. Coriolis effect is considered in the mathematical model, and the governing equations are transformed to the state-space for obtaining an eigenvalue problem. The results for the first two modes of both chord-wise and flap-wise vibrations are presented in nondimensional plane to show the effects of taperness parameter, root-offset parameter, volume fraction exponent, operating temperature, and functionally graded material composition. The results in comparative form are presented for both temperature-dependent and temperature-independent material properties.

In this paper, buckling analysis of functionally graded (FG) thick beam under different conditions is presented. Based on the first order shear deformation theory, governing equations are obtained for Thimoshenko beam which is subjected to mechanical loads. In functionally graded materials (FGMs) the material properties obeying a simple power law is assumed to vary through thickness. In order to solve the buckling differential equations, Generalized Differential Quadrature Method (GDQM) is employed and thus a set of eigenvalue equations resulted. For solving this eigenvalue problem, a computer program was developed in a way that the influence of different parameters such as height to length ratio, various volume fraction functions and boundary conditions were included. Non-dimensional critical stress was calculated for simply-simply, clamped-simply and clamped-clamped supported beams. The results of GDQ method were compared with reported results from solving the Finite element too. The comparison showed the accuracy of obtained results clearly in this work.

The present study investigates static analyses of moderately thick FG plates. Using the First Order Shear Deformation Theory (FSDT), functionally graded plates subjected to transversely distributed loading with various boundary conditions are studied. Effective mechanical properties which vary from one surface of the plate to the other assumed to be defined by a power law form of distribution. Different ceramic-metal sets of materials are studied. Solution of the governing equations, including five equilibrium and eight constitutive equations, is obtained by the Extended Kantorovich Method (EKM). The system of thirteen Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) in terms of displacements, rotations, force and moment resultants are considered as multiplications of separable function of independent variables x and y. Then by successful utilization of the EKM these equations are converted to a double set of ODE systems in terms of x and y. The obtained ODE systems are then solved iteratively until final convergence is achieved. Closed form solution is presented for these ODE sets. It is shown that the method is very stable and provides fast convergence and highly accurate predictions for both thin and moderately thick plates. Comparison of the normal stresses at various points of rectangular plates and deflection of mid-point of the plate are presented and compared with available data in the literature. The effects of the volume fraction exponent n on the behavior of the normalized deflection, moment resultants and stresses of FG plates are also studied. To validate data for analysis fully clamped FG plates, another analysis was carried out using finite element code ANSYS. Close agreement is observed between predictions of the EKM and ANSYS.

In this paper, a refined quasi-three-dimensional shear deformation theory for thermo-mechanical analysis of functionally graded sandwich plates resting on a two-parameter (Pasternak model) elastic foundation is developed. Unlike the other higher-order theories the number of unknowns and governing equations of the present theory is only four against six or more unknown displacement functions used in the corresponding ones. Furthermore, this theory takes into account the stretching effect due to its quasi-three-dimensional nature. The boundary conditions in the top and bottoms surfaces of the sandwich functionally graded plate are satisfied and no correction factor is required. Various types of functionally graded material sandwich plates are considered. The governing equations and boundary conditions are derived using the principle of virtual displacements. Numerical examples, selected from the literature, are illustrated. A good agreement is obtained between numerical results of the refined theory and the reference solutions. A parametric study is presented to examine the effect of the material gradation and elastic foundation on the deflections and stresses of functionally graded sandwich plate resting on elastic foundation subjected to thermo-mechanical loading.

This study analyses the two-dimensional thermo-elastic response of functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced composite (FG-CNTRC) cylindrical pressure vessels, by applying the third-order shear deformation theory (TSDT). The effective properties of FG-CNTRC cylindrical pressure vessels are computed for different patterns of reinforcement, according to the rule of mixture. The governing equations of the problem are derived from the principle of virtual works and are solved as a classical eigenproblem under the assumption of clamped supported boundary conditions. A large parametric investigation aims at showing the influence of some meaningful parameters on the thermo-elastic response, such as the type of pattern, the volume fraction of CNTs, and the Pasternak coefficients related to the elastic foundation.

The vibration analysis of an annular plate made up of functionally graded magneto-electro-elastic materials subjected to multi physical loads is presented. The plate is in thermal environment and temperature is distributed non-uniformly in its thickness direction. In addition, the plate is assumed moderately thick, the material properties vary through the thickness, and the exact neutral surface position is determined and took into account. According to Hamilton’s principle and the first-order shear deformation theory, the governing motion equations are extracted. Numerical results for various boundary conditions are obtained via the generalized differential quadrature method and are validated in simpler states with those of the literature. The effects of different parameters such as material property gradient index, multi physical loads, temperature variations, boundary conditions and geometric specifications of the plate on the natural frequencies and mode shapes are investigated. Temperature changes have little effect on the natural frequencies and the effect of electric potential on them is opposite of magnetic one. In other words, by increasing the magnetic potential, the rigidity of the plate increases too, and the frequency increases. The results of this study are useful to design more efficient sensors and actuators used in the smart or intelligent structures.

Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are one of the advanced materials capable of withstanding the high temperature environments. The FGMs consist of the continuously varying composition of two different materials. One is an engineering ceramic to resist the thermal loading from the high-temperature environment, and the other is a light metal to maintain the structural rigidity. In the present study, the properties of the FGM plate are assumed to vary along the thickness direction according to the power law distribution, sigmoid distribution, and exponential distribution. The fundamental equations are obtained using the first order shear deformation theory and the finite element formulation is done using minimum potential energy approach. The numerical results are obtained for different distributions of FGM, volume fractions, and boundary conditions. The FGM plate is subjected to thermal environment and transverse UDL under thermal environment and the response is analysed. Numerical results are provided in nondimensional form.

Based on Hamilton's principle, a new accurate solution methodology is developed to study the torsional bifurcation buckling of functionally graded cylindrical shells in a thermal environment. The effective properties of functionally graded materials (FGMs) are assumed to be functions of the ambient temperature as well as the thickness coordinate of the shell. By applying Donnell's shell theory, the lower-order Hamiltonian canonical equations are established, from which the eigenvalues and eigenvectors are solved as the critical loads and buckling modes of the shell of concern, respectively. The effects of various aspects, including the combined in-plane and transverse boundary conditions, dimensionless geometric parameters, FGM parameters and changing thermal surroundings, are discussed in detail. The results reveal that the in-plane axial edge supports do have a certain influence on the buckling loads. On the other hand, the transverse boundary conditions only affect extremely short shells. With increasing thermal loads, the material volume fraction has a different influence on the critical stresses. It is concluded that the optimized FGM mixtures to withstand thermal torsional buckling are Si 3 N 4/SUS304 and Al 2 O 3/SUS304 among the materials studied in this paper.

The present study deals with buckling, free vibration, and bending analysis of Functionally Graded (FG) and porous FG beams based on various beam theories. Equation of motion and boundary conditions are derived from Hamilton’s principle, and the finite element method is adopted to solve problems numerically. The FG beams are graded through the thickness direction, and the material distribution is controlled by power-law volume fraction. The effects of the different values of the power-law index, porosity exponent, and different boundary conditions on bending, natural frequencies and buckling characteristics are also studied. A new function is introduced to approximate the transverse shear strain in higher-order shear deformation theory. Furthermore, shifting the position of the neutral axis is taken into account. The results obtained numerically are validated with results obtained from ANSYS and those available in the previous work. The results of this study specify the crucial role of slenderness ratio, material distribution, and porosity condition on the characteristic of FG beams. The deflection results obtained by the proposed function have a maximum of six percent difference when the results are compared with ANSYS. It also has better results in comparison with the Reddy formulae, especially when the beam becomes slender. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2020-03091604 Full Text: PDF
