In this paper, higher order closed-formed analytical solutions for the buckling analysis of functionally graded sandwich rectangular plates are obtained using a unified shear deformation theory. Three-layered sandwich plates with functionally graded skins on top and bottom; and isotropic core in the middle are considered for the study. The material properties of skins are varied through the thickness according to the power-law distribution. Two types of sandwich plates (hardcore and softcore) are considered for the detail numerical study. A unified shear deformation theory developed in the present study uses polynomial and non-polynomial-type shape functions in terms of thickness coordinate to account for the effect of shear deformation. In the present theory, the in-plane displacements consider the combined effect of bending rotation and shear rotation. The parabolic shear deformation theory of Reddy and the first-order shear deformation theory of Mindlin are the particular cases of the present unified formulation. The governing differential equations are evaluated from the principle of virtual work. Closed-formed analytical solutions are obtained by using the Navier’s technique. The non-dimensional critical buckling load factors are obtained for various power-law coefficients, aspect ratios and skin-core-skin thickness ratios.

Analytical solutions are derived for multifunctional N-layered rectangular plates. The multilayered plate may consist of linear elastic or piezoelectric laminates of arbitrary thickness. The related equations and formulae are developed based on the Stroh like formalism. Solutions for multilayered plates are expressed in terms of the propagator matrix and satisfy the continuity conditions of material layers. Various types of electrical and mechanical loading may be considered. Numerical results of stresses, electric potential and displacement for some multifunctional multilayered plates are analyzed

Reciprocal theorem method (RTM) is generalized to solve the problem of bending of thick rectangular plate under concentrated load with four edges fixed and with two opposite edges fixed, the third edge simply supported, and the fourth edge free based on Reissner’s theory. The analytical solutions of the thick plate are given, and the relevant date and diagram are given to guidance engineering application.

The paper describes a theoretical analysis of the effects of various types of surface roughness on the response of a squeeze film between two rectangular plates of finite dimensions. Unlike other finite bearing geometries, it is possible to obtain analytical solutions for various bearing characteristics, thus facilitating a more comprehensive parameter study than has hitherto been feasible. It is shown that the nominal geometry has a profound effect on the system.

Abstract Reissner’s theory on shear-deformable plates is applied to analyze free flexural vibration of clamped rectangular plates. Accurate analytical solutions are obtained using the method of supeiposition. The first six eigenvalues with four digits of accuracy are presented for plates with three thickness ratios and six plate aspect ratios.

This paper aims to develop analytical solutions for wave propagation and free vibration of perfect and porous functionally graded (FG) plate structures integrated with piezoelectric layers. The effect of porosities, which occur in FG materials, is rarely reported in the literature of smart FG plates but included in the present modeling. The modified rule of mixture is therefore considered for variation of effective material properties within the FG substrate. Based on a four-variable higher-order theory, the electromechanical model of the system is established through the use of Hamilton’s principle, and Maxwell’s equation. This theory drops the need of any shear correction factor, and results in less governing equations compared to the conventional higher-order theories. Analytical solutions are applied to the obtained equations to extract the results for two investigations: (I) the plane wave propagation of infinite smart plates and (II) the free vibration of smart rectangular plates with different boundary conditions. After verifying the model, extensive numerical results are presented. Numerical results demonstrate that the wave characteristics of the system, including wave frequency and phase velocity along with the natural frequencies of its bounded counterpart, are highly influenced by the plate parameters such as power-law index, porosity, and piezoelectric characteristics.
