This paper presents an analytical approach to investigate the nonlinear stability of multilayer-functionally graded plates stiffened by orthogonal and/or oblique functionally graded stiffeners subjected to axial compression and/or thermal load. The equilibrium equation system is established by using the first-order shear deformation plate theory taking into account the plate–foundation interaction, geometrical nonlinearity in von Kármán sense and initial geometrical imperfection. An improved Lekhnitskii’s smeared stiffener technique is applied for oblique stiffeners with thermal terms and shear deformation of stiffeners. The governing equations are solved by Galerkin procedure to obtain the explicit expressions of buckling loads and postbuckling load–deflection curves. Results show the effects of material and geometrical properties, boundary conditions, elastic foundation parameters and initial imperfection on the buckling and postbuckling load-carrying capacity of plates.

In this article, the nonlinear thermomechanical buckling behaviors of sandwich functionally graded plates subjected to an axial compression and external pressure are analytically analyzed resting on nonlinear elastic foundation. Assuming that the plates are reinforced by oblique stiffeners and rested on nonlinear elastic foundation. The formulations are established using the higher-order shear deformation theory taking into account the geometrical nonlinearity of von Kármán. The Lekhnitskii’s smeared stiffener technique is developed for shear deformable oblique stiffener system using the coordinate transformation technique with both mechanical and thermal terms. The Galerkin method is utilized to obtain the nonlinear algebraically equation system, then, solve it to determine the explicit expressions of critical buckling loads and postbuckling load–deflection curves. Numerical results show the effects of temperature, nonlinear elastic foundation, stiffeners, and material and geometrical properties on nonlinear behaviors of plates.

Shear Deformation Plate Theory

The buckling and postbuckling behaviors of eccentrically stiffened sandwich plates on elastic foundations subjected to in-plane compressive loads, thermal loads, or thermomechanical loads are presented analytically by using the Reddy’s third-order shear deformation plate theory with von Karman geometrical nonlinearity. Four cases of general Sigmoid and power laws are considered. The material properties of the facesheets, the core layer, and stiffeners are assumed to be temperature-dependent. Theoretical formulations based on the smeared stiffeners technique and third-order shear deformation plate theory are derived. The expressions of thermal parameters are found in the analytical form. Applying the Galerkin method, the expressions for determination of the critical buckling load and analysis of the postbuckling mechanical and thermal load–deflection curves are obtained. The iterative algorithm is presented for the case of temperature-dependent plate material properties. In addition, the influences of thermal element, functionally graded material stiffeners, the facesheet thickness to total thickness ratio, initial imperfection, and foundations are clarified in detail.

In this paper, an analytical approach for nonlinear buckling and post-buckling behavior of stiffened porous functionally graded plate rested on Pasternak's elastic foundation under mechanical load in thermal environment is presented. The orthogonal and/or oblique stiffeners are attached to the surface of plate and are included in the calculation by improving the Lekhnitskii's smeared stiffener technique in the framework of higher-order shear deformation plate theory. The complex equilibrium and stability equations are established based on the Reddy's higher-order shear deformation plate theory and taken into account the geometrical nonlinearity of von Kármán. The solution forms of displacements satisfying the different boundary conditions are chosen, the stress function method and the Galerkin procedure are used to solve the problem. The good agreements of the present analytical solution are validated by making the comparisons of the present results with other results. In addition, the effects of porosity distribution, stiffener, volume fraction index, thermal environment, elastic foundation… on the critical buckling load and post-buckling response of porous functionally graded material plates are numerically investigated.

Composite Cylindrical Shells

This paper deals with the nonlinear large deflection torsional buckling of functionally graded carbon nanotube (CNT) orthogonally reinforced composite cylindrical shells surrounded by Pasternak’s elastic foundations with the thermal effect. The shell is made by two layers where the polymeric matrix is reinforced by the CNTs in longitudinal and circumferential directions for outer and inner layers, respectively. The stability equation system is obtained by combining the Donnell’s shell theory, von Kármán nonlinearity terms, the circumferential condition in average sense and three-state solution form of deflection. The critical torsional buckling load, postbuckling load-deflection and the load-end shortening expressions are obtained by applying the Galerkin procedure. The effects of temperature change, foundation parameters, geometrical properties and CNT distribution law on the nonlinear behavior of cylindrical shell are numerically predicted. Especially, the effect of orthogonal reinforcement in comparison with longitudinal and circumferential reinforcement on the torsional buckling behavior of shells is observed.

The Impact

In this paper, an alternative analysis strategy based on a Wavelet-Galerkin scheme specially tailored to solve impact problems of functionally graded orthotropic thin plates subjected to low-velocity impact is presented. The plate considered to be circular, is assumed to be clamped on its lateral edge and has internal supports of rigid, elastic and viscoelastic types. The material properties of the plate are represented in the form of exponential functions of the thickness coordinate. A rigid spherical indenter impacts the plate. The study is based on the classical lamination plate theory (CLT). An advanced contact law of the Hertzian type is adopted. A nonlinear Volterra integral equation system is obtained in the following unknown functions: the impact force and the dynamic reaction forces at the rigid, elastic and viscoelastic internal point supports. Numerical simulations displaying the contact force, the transversal displacement and the penetration depth are graphically presented, and pertinent conclusions regarding the implications of incorporation of graded material systems are outlined.

This article presents the free vibration analysis of simply supported plate FG porous using a high order shear deformation theory. In is work the material properties of the porous plate FG vary across the thickness. The proposed theory contains four unknowns unlike the other theories which contain five unknowns. This theory has a parabolic shear deformation distribution across the thickness. So it is useless to use the shear correction factors. The Hamilton's principle will be used herein to determine the equations of motion. Since, the plate are simply supported the Navier procedure will be retained. To show the precision of this model, several comparisons have been made between the present results and those of existing theories in the literature for non-porous plates. Effects of the exponent graded and porosity factors are investigated.

In this article, the analyses of free vibration of nanoplates, such as single-layered graphene sheets (SLGS), lying on an elastic medium is evaluated and analyzed via a novel refined plate theory mathematical model including small-scale effects. The noteworthy feature of theory is that the displacement field is modelled with only four unknowns, which is even less than the other shear deformation theories. The present one has a new displacement field which introduces undetermined integral variables, the shear stress free condition on the top and bottom surfaces of the plate is respected and consequently, it is unnecessary to use shear correction factors. The theory involves four unknown variables, as against five in case of other higher order theories and first-order shear deformation theory. By using Hamilton’s principle, the nonlocal governing equations are obtained and they are solved via Navier solution method. The influences played by transversal shear deformation, plate aspect ratio, side-to-thickness ratio, nonlocal parameter, and elastic foundation parameters are all examined. From this work, it can be observed that the small-scale effects and elastic foundation parameters are significant for the natural frequency.

AbstractThis article investigates the nonlinear stability of eccentrically stiffened moderately thick plates made of functionally graded materials (FGM) subjected to in-plane compressive, thermo-mechanical loads. The equilibrium and compatibility equations for the moderately thick plates are derived by using the first-order shear deformation theory of plates, taking into account both the geometrical nonlinearity in the von Karman sense and initial geometrical imperfections, temperature-dependent properties with Pasternak type elastic foundations. By applying the Galerkin method and using a stress function, the effects of material and geometrical properties, temperature-dependent material properties, elastic foundations, boundary conditions, and eccentric stiffeners on the buckling and post-buckling loading capacity of the eccentrically stiffened moderately thick FGM plates in thermal environments are analyzed and discussed.

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.

The novelty of this paper is the use of four variable refined plate theory for nonlinear analysis of plates made of functionally graded materials. The plates are subjected to pressure loading and their geometric nonlinearity is introduced in the strain–displacement equations based on Von–Karman assumptions. Unlike any other theory, the theory presented gives rise to only four governing equations. Number of unknown functions involved is only four, as against five in case of simple shear deformation theories of Mindlin and Reissner (first shear deformation theory). The plate properties are assumed to be varied through the thickness following a simple power law distribution in terms of volume fraction of material constituents. The theory presented is variationally consistent, does not require shear correction factor, and gives rise to transverse shear stress variation such that the transverse shear stresses vary parabolically across the thickness satisfying shear stress free surface conditions. The fundamental equations for functionally graded plates are obtained using the Von–Karman theory for large deflection and the solution is obtained by minimization of the total potential energy. Numerical results for functionally graded plates are given in dimensionless graphical forms; and the effects of material properties on deflections and stresses are determined. The results obtained for plate with various thickness ratios using the theory are not only substantially more accurate than those obtained using the CPT, but are almost comparable to those obtained using higher order theories having more number of unknown functions.
