Functionally graded materials (FGMs) have become helpful in our engineering applications. Analysis of functionally graded material (FGM) plate during debonding case with different boundary conditions is the main purpose of this investigation. Elastic modulus (E) of functionally graded (FG) plate is assumed to vary continuously throughout the height of the plate, according the volume fraction of the constituent materials based on a modified sigmoid function, but the value of Poisson coefficient is constant. In this research, the finite element method (FEM) is used in order to show the shape of a plate made of FGM during debonding case with different boundary conditions. In the present investigation, the displacement value applied to the FGM plate is changed in order to find the relationship between the maximum von Mises stress and the displacement. Also, the relationship between the maximum shear stress and the displacement is carried out in the present work. The material gradient indexes of the FGM plate are changed from 1 to 10. The stress distributions around the debonding zone with all the material gradient indexes of the FGM plate are investigated in this work.

Based on the first-order shear deformation theory, this paper focuses on the free vibration behavior of two-dimensional functionally graded material truncated conical shells resting on Winkler–Pasternak foundations. The materials are assumed to be isotropic and inhomogeneous in the length and thickness directions of truncated conical shell. The material properties of the truncated conical shell are varied in these directions according to power law functions. The derived governing equations are solved using differential quadrature method. Convergence of this method is checked and the fast rate of convergence is observed. The primary results of this study are obtained for ( SS− SL), ( CS− CL), and ( CS− SL) boundary conditions and compared with those available in the literatures. Furthermore, effects of geometrical parameters, material power indexes, mechanical boundary conditions, Winkler and Pasternak foundation moduli on the nondimensional frequency parameters of the two-dimensional functionally graded material truncated conical shell are studied.

The size-dependent model is studied based on the modified couple stress theory for the geometrically nonlinear curvilinear Timoshenko beam made from a functionally graded material having its properties changed along the beam thickness. The influence of the size-dependent coefficient and the material grading on the stability of the curvilinear beams is investigated with the use of the setup method. The second-order accuracy finite difference method is used to solve the problem of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) by reducing it to the Cauchy problem. The obtained set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) is then solved by the fourth-order Runge–Kutta method. The relaxation method is employed to solve numerous static problems based on the dynamic approach. Eight different combinations of size-dependent coefficients and the functionally graded material coefficient are used to study the stress-strain responses of Timoshenko beams. Stability loss of the curvilinear Timoshenko beams is investigated using the Lyapunov criterion based on the estimation of the Lyapunov exponents. Beams with/without the size-dependent behavior, homogeneous beams, and functionally graded beams having the same stiffness are investigated. It is shown that in straight-line beams, the size-dependent effect decreases the beam deflection. The same is observed if the most rigid layer is located on the top of the beam. In the curvilinear Timoshenko beam, such a location of the most rigid layer essentially improves the beam strength against stability loss. The observed transition of the largest Lyapunov exponent from a negative to positive value corresponds to the transition from a precritical to postcritical beam state.

In the present research article, classical plate theory has been adopted to analyze functionally graded material plate, having out of plane material inhomogeneity, resting on Winkler–Pasternak foundation under different combinations of boundary conditions. The material properties of the functionally graded material plate vary according to power law in the thickness direction. Rayleigh–Ritz method in conjugation with polynomial displacement functions has been used to develop a computationally efficient mathematical model to study free vibration characteristics of the plate. Convergence of frequency parameters (nondimensional natural frequencies) has been attained by increasing the number of polynomials of displacement function. The frequency parameters of the functionally graded material plate obtained by proposed method are compared with the open literature to validate the present model. Firstly, the present model is used to calculate first six natural frequencies of the functionally graded plate under all possible combinations of boundary conditions for the constant value of stiffness of Winkler and Pasternak foundation moduli. Further, the effects of density, aspect ratio, power law exponent, Young’s modulus on frequency parameters of the functionally graded plate resting on Winkler–Pasternak foundation under specific boundary conditions viz. CCCC (all edges clamped), SSSS (all edges simply supported), CFFF (cantilever), SCSF (simply supported-clamped-free) are studied extensively. Furthermore, effect of stiffness of elastic foundation moduli (kp and kw) on frequency parameters are analyzed. It has been observed that effects of aspect ratios, boundary conditions, Young’s modulus and density on frequency parameters are significant at lower value of the power law exponent. It has also been noted from present investigation that Pasternak foundation modulus has greater effect on frequency parameters as compared to the Winkler foundation modulus. Most of the results presented in this paper are novel and may be used for the validation purpose by researchers. Three dimensional mode shapes for the functionally graded plate resting on elastic foundation have also been presented in this article.
