In this study, the vibration of functionally graded porous truncated conical shell reinforced with graphene platelets (GPLs) is investigated. The GPLs nanofillers and pores are considered to be uniform and nonuniform throughout the thickness direction. Using Hamilton’s principle, the governing equations are derived based on Love’s first approximation theory. The generalized differential quadrature method is applied to solve the governing equations of motion and to obtain the natural frequencies of the shells for various boundary conditions. Applying the Halpin–Tsai model and the rule of mixture, the effective elastic modulus, the Poisson’s ratio and the density of nanocomposite shell reinforced with GPLs are computed. The effects of porosity coefficients, distribution patterns of porosity, GPL weight fraction, geometry and size of GPLs, semi-vertex angle as well as boundary conditions on the natural frequency of the system are analyzed. It was observed in the results that the shells with symmetric porosity distribution reinforced by graphene platelet pattern A predict the highest natural frequencies. Furthermore, it was found that the natural frequencies of nanocomposite conical shell can be decreased by increasing the porosity coefficient. Besides, the geometry and size of GPLs as well as weight fraction of GPLs have significant effects on the natural frequencies.

This work presents an investigation on the free vibration behavior of rotating pre-twisted functionally graded graphene platelets reinforced composite (FG-GPLRC) laminated blades/beams with an attached point mass. The considered beams are constituted of [Formula: see text] layers which are bonded perfectly and made of a mixture of isotropic polymer matrix and graphene platelets (GPLs). The weight fraction of GPLs changes in a layer-wise manner. The effective material properties of FG-GPLRC layers are computed by using the modified Halpin-Tsai model together with rule of mixture. The free vibration eigenvalue equations are developed based on the Reddy’s third-order shear deformation theory (TSDT) using the Chebyshev–Ritz method under different boundary conditions. After validating the approach, the influences of the GPLs distribution pattern, GPLs weight fraction, angular velocity, the variation of the angle of twist along the beam axis, the ratio of attached mass to the beam mass, boundary conditions, position of attached mass, and geometry on the vibration behavior are investigated. The findings demonstrate that the natural frequencies of the rotating pre-twisted FG-GPLRC laminated beams significantly increases by adding a very small amount of GPLs into polymer matrix. It is shown that placing more GPLs near the top and bottom surfaces of the pre-twisted beam is an effective way to strengthen the pre-twisted beam stiffness and increase the natural frequencies.

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.

Modified Couple Stress

The vibration behavior of piezoelectric microbeams is studied on the basis of the modified couple stress theory. The governing equations of motion and boundary conditions for the Euler-Bernoulli and Timoshenko beam models are derived using Hamilton’s principle. By the exact solution of the governing equations, an expression for natural frequencies of microbeams with simply supported boundary conditions is obtained. Numerical results for both beam models are presented and the effects of piezoelectricity and length scale parameter are illustrated. It is found that the influences of piezoelectricity and size effects are more prominent when the length of microbeams decreases. A comparison between two beam models also reveals that the Euler-Bernoulli beam model tends to overestimate the natural frequencies of microbeams as compared to its Timoshenko counterpart.

A layerwise-differential quadrature method (LW-DQM) is developed for the vibration analysis of a stiffened laminated conical shell. The circumferential stiffeners (rings) and meridional stiffeners (stringers) are treated as discrete elements. The motion equations are derived by applying the Hamilton’s principle. In order to accurately account for the thickness effects and the displacement field of stiffeners, the layerwise theory is used to discretize the equations of motion and the related boundary conditions through the thickness. Then, the equations of motion as well as the boundary condition equations are transformed into a set of algebraic equations applying the DQM in the meridional direction. The advantage of the proposed model is its applicability to thin and thick unstiffened and stiffened shells with arbitrary boundary conditions. In addition, the axial load and external pressure is applied to the shell as a ratio of the global buckling load and pressure. This study demonstrates the accuracy, stability, and the fast rate of convergence of the present method, for the buckling and vibration analyses of stiffened conical shells. The presented results are compared with those of other shell theories and a special case where the angle of conical shell approaches zero, i.e. a cylindrical shell, and excellent agreements are achieved.

The vibration analysis of an annular plate made up of functionally graded magneto-electro-elastic materials subjected to multi physical loads is presented. The plate is in thermal environment and temperature is distributed non-uniformly in its thickness direction. In addition, the plate is assumed moderately thick, the material properties vary through the thickness, and the exact neutral surface position is determined and took into account. According to Hamilton’s principle and the first-order shear deformation theory, the governing motion equations are extracted. Numerical results for various boundary conditions are obtained via the generalized differential quadrature method and are validated in simpler states with those of the literature. The effects of different parameters such as material property gradient index, multi physical loads, temperature variations, boundary conditions and geometric specifications of the plate on the natural frequencies and mode shapes are investigated. Temperature changes have little effect on the natural frequencies and the effect of electric potential on them is opposite of magnetic one. In other words, by increasing the magnetic potential, the rigidity of the plate increases too, and the frequency increases. The results of this study are useful to design more efficient sensors and actuators used in the smart or intelligent structures.

In this article, the well-posedness of several common nonlocal models for higher-order refined shear deformation beams is studied. Unlike the case of classic beams models, both strain-driven and stress-driven purely nonlocal theories lead to an ill-posed issue (i.e., there are excessive mandatory boundary conditions) when considering higher-order shear deformation assumption. As an effective remedy, the well-posedness of strain-driven and stress-driven two-phase nonlocal (StrainDTPN and StressDTPN) models is pertinently evidenced by studying the free vibration problem of nanobeams. The governing equations of motion and standard boundary conditions are derived from Hamilton’s principle. The integral constitutive relation is transformed equivalently to a differential form equipped with two constitutive boundary conditions. Using the generalized differential quadrature method (GDQM), the governing equations in terms of displacements are solved numerically. Numerical results show that both the StrainDTPN and StressDTPN models can predict consistent size-effects of beams with different boundary conditions.

This article investigates free vibration of a functionally graded piezomagnetic material cylindrical nanoshell embedded in viscoelastic media under rotational, external electric and magnetic loadings. The governing equations of the nanoshell are derived based on Eringen’s nonlocal theory. It is found that, magnetic and piezoelectric properties of the structure change exponentially along the thickness. The rotational loading is calculated considering initial hoop tension. The results are obtained by applying generalized differential quadrature method to the governing equations and associated boundary conditions. Results also include those achieved for clamped-clamped and simply hinged-hinged boundary conditions. It is found that free vibration characteristics of functionally graded piezomagnetic material cylindrical nanoshell are influenced by several factors including angular velocity, length scale parameter, external voltage, external amperage, functionally graded power index, and viscoelastic media parameters.

AbstractIn this article, the vibrational analysis of temperature-dependent cylindrical functionally graded (FG) microshells surrounded by viscoelastic a foundation is investigated by means of the modified couple stress theory (MCST). MCST is applied to this model to be productive in design and analysis of micro actuators and micro sensors. The modeled cylindrical FG microshell, its equations of motion and boundary conditions are derived by Hamilton’s principle and the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT). For the first time, in the present study, functionally graded length scale parameter which changes along the thickness has been considered in the temperature-dependent cylindrical FG microshell. The accuracy of the present model is verified with previous studies and also with those obtained by analytical Navier method. The novelty of the current study is consideration of viscoelastic foundation, various thermal loadings and size effect as well as satisfying various boundary conditions implemented on the temperature-dependent cylindrical FG microshell using MCST. Generalized differential quadrature method (GDQM) is applied to discretize the equations of motion. Then, some factors are investigated such as the influence of length to radius ratio, damping, Winkler and Pasternak foundations, different temperature changes, circumferential wave numbers, and boundary conditions on natural frequency of the cylindrical FG microshell. The results have many applications such as modeling of microrobots and biomedical microsystems.

The aim of this article is to find an exact analytical solution for free vibration characteristics of thin functionally graded rectangular plates with different boundary conditions. The governing equations of motion are obtained based on the classical plate theory. Using an analytical method, three partial differential equations of motion are reformulated into two new decoupled equations. Based on the Navier solution, a closed-form solution is presented for natural frequencies of functionally graded simply supported rectangular plates. Then, considering Levy-type solution, natural frequencies of functionally graded plates are presented for various boundary conditions. Three mode shapes of a functionally graded rectangular plate are also presented for different boundary conditions. In addition, the effects of aspect ratio, thickness—length ratio, power law index, and boundary conditions on the vibration characteristics of functionally graded rectangular plates are discussed in details. Finally, it has been shown that the effects of in-plane displacements on natural frequencies of functionally graded plates under different boundary conditions have been studied.

Thick Beam

In this paper, buckling analysis of functionally graded (FG) thick beam under different conditions is presented. Based on the first order shear deformation theory, governing equations are obtained for Thimoshenko beam which is subjected to mechanical loads. In functionally graded materials (FGMs) the material properties obeying a simple power law is assumed to vary through thickness. In order to solve the buckling differential equations, Generalized Differential Quadrature Method (GDQM) is employed and thus a set of eigenvalue equations resulted. For solving this eigenvalue problem, a computer program was developed in a way that the influence of different parameters such as height to length ratio, various volume fraction functions and boundary conditions were included. Non-dimensional critical stress was calculated for simply-simply, clamped-simply and clamped-clamped supported beams. The results of GDQ method were compared with reported results from solving the Finite element too. The comparison showed the accuracy of obtained results clearly in this work.
