This paper presents the moving element method (MEM) for dynamic analyses of functionally graded (FG) plates resting on Pasternak foundation under moving harmonic load. The Mindlin plate theory is used to model the FG plates. Macroscopic material properties of FG plates are assumed to continuously vary across the thickness direction by a simple power-law distribution. The governing equation of the FG plate is formulated in a coordinate system which moves along with the applied load. In addition, the method simply treats the moving load as “stationary” at the discretized node of plate to completely eliminate the update procedure of force vector due to the change of contact point with elements. To verify the accuracy of the computational paradigm, static and free vibration analyses of FG plates are examined first. Dynamic analyses of FG plates subjected to a moving harmonic load are then conducted to investigate the effects of various parameters such as volume fraction exponent, Young’ modulus, load velocity, foundation damping coefficient and load acceleration/deceleration on dynamic responses of the plate.

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.

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.

AbstractThis paper is concerned with two-dimensional (r, θ) thermoelastic dynamic responses of a long functionally graded hollow cylinder subjected to asysmmetrical thermal and mechanical loads. The material properties, except the Poisson's ratio, are assumed to be temperature independent and vary exponentially and continuously in the radial direction. By means of finite difference method and Newmark method, the motion governing equations of the long FGM hollow cylinder are solved. Comparisons between this paper's results and the corresponding analytical results validate the proposed solution. In addition, the effects of the volume fraction, temperature boundary conditions on the hollow cylinder's deformations and stresses distributions are examined, and many other valuable thermoelastic dynamic characteristics are revealed.

Vibration of two-directional functionally graded sandwich (2D-FGSW) Timoshenko beams under a moving harmonic load is investigated. The beams consist of three layers, a homogeneous core and two functionally graded skin layers with the material properties continuously varying in both the thickness and length directions by power functions. A finite element formulation is derived and employed to compute the vibration characteristics of the beams. The obtained numerical result reveals that the material inhomogeneity and the layer thickness ratio play an important role on the natural frequencies and dynamic response of the beams. A parametric study is carried out to highlight the effects of the power-law indexes, the moving load speed and excitation frequency on the vibration characteristics of the beams.  The influence of the beam aspect ratio on the vibration of the beams is also examined and discussed.

This paper presents the influence of various random system parameters on dynamics response of imperfection sensitive higher order shear deformable functionally graded material (FGM) plates. Young’s moduli, Poisson’s ratio and volume fraction index are considered as random system parameters. The material properties of the FGM plates are assumed to vary along the thickness direction using simple power-law distribution in terms of the volume fraction of the constituents. The plate kinematics is based on Reddy’s higher order shear deformation theory. Finite element method (FEM) is employed in conjunction with first-order perturbation technique (FOPT) and Newmark integration scheme to explore the influence of different system parameters, like volume fraction indices, aspect ratio, material uncertainties, and imperfection amplitude on the dynamic responses of the FGM 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.

The free vibration of functionally graded (FG) arbitrary straight-sided quadrilateral plates rested on two-parameter elastic foundation and in thermal environment is presented. The formulation is based on the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT). The material properties are assumed to be temperature-dependent and graded in the thickness direction. The solution procedure is composed of transforming the governing equations from physical domain to computational domain and then the discretization of the spatial derivatives by employing the differential quadrature method (DQM) as an efficient and accurate numerical tool. After studying the convergence of the method, its accuracy is demonstrated by comparing the obtained solutions with the existing results in literature for isotropic rectangular and FG rectangular and skew plates. Then, the effects of thickness-to-length ratio, elastic foundation parameters, volume fraction index, geometrical shape and the boundary conditions on the frequency parameters of the FG plates are studied.

The first-order shear deformation plate model, accounting for the exact neutral plane position, is exploited to investigate the uncoupled thermomechanical behavior of functionally graded (FG) plates. Functionally graded materials are mainly constructed to operate in high temperature environments. Also, FG plates are used in many applications (such as mechanical, electrical, and magnetic), where an amount of heat may be generated into the FG plate whenever other forms of energy (electrical, magnetic, etc.) are converted into thermal energy. Several simulations are performed to study the behavior of FG plates, subjected to thermomechanical loadings, and focus the attention on the effect of the heat source intensity. Most of the previous studies have considered the midplane neutral one, while the actual position of neutral plane for functionally graded plates is shifted and should be firstly determined. A comparative study is performed to illustrate the effect of considering the neutral plane position. The volume fraction of the two constituent materials of the FG plate is varied smoothly and continuously, as a continuous power function of the material position, along the thickness of the plate.
