In this paper, free vibration of functionally graded annular plates on elastic foundations, based on the three-dimensional theory of elasticity, using state-space based differential quadrature method for different boundary conditions is investigated. The foundation is described by the Pasternak or two-parameter model. Assuming the material properties having an exponent-law variation along the thickness, a semi-analytical approach that makes use of state-space method in thickness direction and one-dimensional differential quadrature method in radial direction is used to obtain the vibration frequencies. Supposed state variables in the present method are different from what have been used for functionally graded annular plate so far. They are a combination of three displacement parameters and three stresses parameters. Numerical results are given to demonstrate the convergency and accuracy of the present method. In addition, the influences of the Winkler and shearing layer elastic coefficients of the foundations and some parameters are also investigated.

The purpose of this study is to present a quasi-three-dimensional (quasi-3D) shear deformation theory for static bending and free vibration analyses of porous sandwich functionally graded (FG) plates with graphene nanoplatelets (GPLs) reinforcement. In addition, we propose a novel sandwich plate model with various outstanding features in terms of structural performance. The quasi-3D theory-based isogeometric analysis (IGA) in conjunction with refined plate theory (RPT) is first exploited to capture adequately the thickness stretching effect for porous sandwich FG plate structures reinforced with GPLs. The Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS)-based IGA is employed in order to describe exactly the geometry models as well as approximate the unknown field with higher-order derivatives and continuity requirements while the RPT model includes only four essential variables. The sandwich FG plates consist of a core layer containing internal pores reinforced by GPLs and two functionally graded materials (FGMs) skin layers. Effective mechanical properties can be evaluated by employing the Halpin-Tsai model along with the rule of mixture. Various combinations of two porosity distributions and three GPL dispersions in the core layer are thoroughly investigated. Several numerical investigations are conducted to examine the effects of several key parameters on the static bending and free vibration behaviors of sandwich FG plate structures.
