The three-dimensional vibration of a functionally graded sandwich rectangular plate on an elastic foundation with normal boundary conditions was analyzed using a semi-analytical method based on three-dimensional elasticity theory. The material properties of the sandwich plate varied with thickness according to the power law distribution. Two types of functionally graded material (FGM) sandwich plates were investigated in this paper: one with a homogeneous core and FGM facesheets, and another with homogeneous panels and an FGM core. Various displacements of the plates were created using an improved Fourier series consisting of a standard Fourier cosine series along with a certain number of closed-form auxiliary functions satisfying the essential boundary conditions. The vibration behavior of the FGM sandwich plate, including the natural frequencies and mode shapes, was obtained using the Ritz method. The effectiveness and accuracy of the suggested technique were fully verified by comparing the natural frequencies of sandwich plates with results from investigations of other functionally graded sandwich rectangular plates in the literature. A parametric study, including elastic parameters, foundation parameters, power law exponents, and layer thickness ratios, was performed, and some new results are presented.

AbstractFree vibration analysis of functionally graded (FG) curved panels integrated with piezoelectric layers under various boundary conditions is studied. A panel with two opposite edges is simply supported, and arbitrary boundary conditions at the other edges are considered. Two different models of material property variations based on the power law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents and the exponential law distribution of the material properties through the thickness are considered. Based on the three-dimensional theory of elasticity, an approach combining the state space method and the differential quadrature method (DQM) is used. For the simply supported boundary conditions, closed-form solution is given by making use of the Fourier series expansion, and applying the differential quadrature method to the state space formulations along the axial direction, new state equations about state variables at discrete points are obtained for the other cases such as clamped or free-end conditions. Natural frequencies of the hybrid curved panels are presented by solving the eigenfrequency equation, which can be obtained by using edges boundary conditions in this state equation. The results obtained for only FGM shell is verified by comparing the natural frequencies with the results obtained in the literature.

Governing Equations

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.

Present Solution

Three-dimensional elastic solution of a simply supported, transversely isotropic functionally graded rectangular plate is presented in this paper. Suppose that all elastic coefficients of the material have the same power-law dependence on the thickness coordinate. By introducing two new displacement functions, three equations of equilibrium in terms of displacements are reduced to two uncoupled partial differential equations. Exact solution for a second-order partial differential equation expressed by one of displacement functions is obtained and analytical solution for another fourth-order partial differential equation expressed by another displacement function is found by employing the Frobenius method. The validity of the present solution is first investigated. And the effect of the gradation of material properties on the mechanical behavior of the plate is studied through numerical examples.
