In the present study, a new trigonometric higher-order shear and normal deformation theory is proposed and implemented to investigate the free vibration characteristics of functionally graded material (FGM) plates. The present theory comprises the nonlinear variation in the in-plane and transverse displacement and accommodates, both shear deformation and thickness stretching effects. It also satisfies the stress-free boundary conditions on the top and bottom surfaces of the plate without requiring any shear correction factor. The governing equations are derived using the variational principle. The effective mechanical properties of FGM plates are assumed to vary according to a power law distribution of the volume fraction of the constituents. Poisson’s ratios of FGM plates are assumed constant. The numerical solution has been obtained using an efficient displacement based C0 finite element model with eight degrees of freedom per node. The computed results are compared with 3-dimensional and quasi-3-dimensional solutions and those projected by other well-known plate theories. Natural frequencies of the functionally graded plates with various side-to-thickness ratios, boundary conditions, and volume fraction index ‘n’ have been computed. It can be concluded that the proposed model is not only accurate but also simple in predicting the vibration behavior of functionally graded plates.

Free vibration analysis of functionally graded elastic, rectangular, and simply supported (diaphragm) plates is presented based on a higher-order shear and normal deformation theory (HOSNT). Although functionally graded materials (FGMs) are highly heterogeneous in nature, they are generally idealized as continua with mechanical properties changing smoothly with respect to the spatial coordinates. The material properties of functionally graded (FG) plates are assumed here to be varying through the thickness of the plate in a continuous manner. The Poisson ratios of the FG plates are assumed to be constant, but their Young's modulii and densities vary continuously in the thickness direction according to the volume fraction of constituents which is mathematically modeled as a power law function. The equations of motion are derived using Hamilton's principle for the FG plates on the basis of a HOSNT assuming varying material properties. Numerical solutions are obtained by the use of Navier solution method. The accuracy of the numerical solutions is first established through comparison with the exact three-dimensional (3D) elasticity solutions and the present solutions are then compared with available solutions of other models.

In this paper, a new trigonometric higher-order theory including the stretching effect is developed for the static analysis of advanced composite plates such as functionally graded plates. The number of unknown functions involved in the present theory is only five as against six or more in case of other shear and normal deformation theories. The governing equations are derived by employing the principle of virtual work and the physical neutral surface concept. There is no stretching–bending coupling effect in the neutral surface-based formulation, and consequently, the governing equations and boundary conditions of functionally graded plates based on neutral surface have the simple forms as those of isotropic plates. Navier-type analytical solution is obtained for functionally graded plate subjected to transverse load for simply supported boundary conditions. A comparison with the corresponding results is made to check the accuracy and efficiency of the present theory.

Large deflection analysis of thin and relatively thick rectangular functionally graded plates is studied in this paper. It is assumed that the mechanical properties of the plate, graded through the thickness, are described by a simple power law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of constituents. The plate is assumed to be under lateral pressure load. The fundamental equations for rectangular plates of FGM are obtained using the classical laminated plate theory (CLPT), first order shear deformation theory (FSDT) and higher order shear deformation theory (HSDT) for large deflection and the solution is obtained by minimization of the total potential energy.

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, free vibrations of Porous Functionally Graded Beams (P-FGBs), resting on two-parameter elastic foundations, and exposed to three forms of thermal field, uniform, linear, and sinusoidal, are studied using a Refined Higher-order shear Deformation Theory. The present theory accounts for shear deformation by considering a constant transverse displacement and a higher-order variation of the axial displacement through the thickness of the beam. The stress-free boundary conditions are satisfied on the upper and lower surfaces of the beam without using any shear correction factor. The material properties are temperature-dependent and vary continuously through the depth direction of the beam, based on a modified power-law rule, in which two kinds of porosity distributions, uniform, and nonuniform, through the cross-section area of the beam, are considered. Hamilton’s principle is applied to obtain governing equations of motion, which are solved using a Navier-type analytical solution for simply supported P-FGB. Numerical examples are proposed and discussed in detail, to prove the effect of the thermal environment, the porosity distribution, and the influence of several parameters such as the power-law index, porosity volume fraction, slenderness ratio, and elastic foundation parameters on the critical buckling temperatures and the natural frequencies of the P-FGB.

Based on the first-order non-linear von Karman theory, cylindrical bending of functionally graded (FG) plates subjected to mechanical, thermal, and combined thermo-mechanical loadings are investigated. Analytical solutions are obtained for an FG plate with various clamped and simply-supported boundary conditions. The closed form solutions obtained are very simple to be used in design purposes. The material properties are assumed to vary continuously through the thickness of the plate according to a power-law distribution of the volume fraction of the constituents. The effects of non-linearity, material property, and boundary conditions on various response quantities are studied and discussed. It is found that linear analysis is inadequate for analysis of simply-supported FG plates even in the small deflection range especially when thermal load is present. Also it is shown that bending—extension coupling can not be seen in response quantities of clamped FG plates. Also an exact solution is developed for the one-dimensional heat conduction equation with variable heat conductivity coefficient.

Pasternak Elastic Foundation

This paper deals with the free vibration and buckling analysis of functionally graded material (FGM) plates, resting on the Winkler–Pasternak elastic foundation. The higher order shear deformation plate theory (HSPT) is adopted for the realistic variation of transverse displacement through the thickness, using the power law distribution to describe the variation of the material properties. Both the effects of shear deformation and rotary inertia are considered. In the present model, the plate is discretised into [Formula: see text] eight noded serendipity quadratic elements with seven nodal degrees of freedom (DOFs). The validation study is carried out by comparing the calculated values with those given in the literature. The effects of various parameters like the Winkler and Pasternak modulus coefficients, volume fraction index, aspect ratio, thickness ratio and different boundary conditions on the behaviour of the FGM plates are studied.
