This paper presents some new and valuable numerical results for the thermo-mechanical buckling analysis of bidirectional porous functionally graded plates with uniform and non-uniform temperature rise. The strong form formulation is implemented for thermo-mechanical buckling in the framework of higher-order shear deformation theory. The material property with four schemes of porosity distribution of bidirectional porous functionally graded plate is taken by a modified power law. The governing differential equations are accomplished utilizing the principle of virtual works. The multi-quadric radial basis function is implemented for discretizing the governing differential equations. The multi-quadric radial basis function Euclidean norm is modified to analyze the square as well as rectangular plates without changing the shape parameters. Convergence and validation studies are performed to show the accuracy, effectiveness, and consistency of the present meshfree collocation method. The influence of different porosity distributions, span to thickness ratios, aspect ratios, grading index, temperature raise, boundary conditions, and porosity index on thermomechanical buckling load is evaluated. Some novel results for the bidirectional porous functionally graded plate are also enumerated that can be utilized as benchmark results for future reference.

This article presents a torsional analysis of solid elliptical, hollow circular, and actual bone sections of orthotropic and functionally graded material. The formulation of the governing equation is done using the Saint-Venant torsion theory. A classical power law is considered for the modelling of functionally graded material. Five different radial basis functions-based meshless methods are used for the discretization of the governing differential equations. MATLAB code is developed to solve the discretized partial differential equations. A convergence and validation study has been carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness and accuracy of the present method. Numerical examples for torsional rigidity and shear stresses are presented for circular, elliptical, and bone-shaped irregular sections made up of orthotropic and functionally graded materials. Finally, the proposed radial basis function-based meshless method is applied to the modelling and torsional analysis of an actual bone cross-section.

In this article, a novel radial–based meshfree approach for solving nonhomogeneous partial differential equations is proposed. Stemming from the radial basis function collocation method, the novel meshfree approach is formulated by incorporating the radial polynomial as the basis function. The solution of the nonhomogeneous partial differential equation is therefore approximated by the discretization of the governing equation using the radial polynomial basis function. To avoid the singularity, the minimum order of the radial polynomial basis function must be greater than two for the second order partial differential equations. Since the radial polynomial basis function is a non–singular series function, accurate numerical solutions may be obtained by increasing the terms of the radial polynomial. In addition, the shape parameter in the radial basis function collocation method is no longer required in the proposed method. Several numerical implementations, including homogeneous and nonhomogeneous Laplace and modified Helmholtz equations, are conducted. The results illustrate that the proposed approach may obtain highly accurate solutions with the use of higher order radial polynomial terms. Finally, compared with the radial basis function collocation method, the proposed approach may produce more accurate solutions than the other.

A thermal buckling analysis of functionally graded thick rectangular plates accord?ing to von Karman non-linear theory is presented. The material properties of the functionally graded plate, except for the Poisson?s ratio, were assumed to be graded in the thickness direction, according to a power-law distribution, in terms of the volume fractions of the metal and ceramic constituents. Formulations of equilibrium and stability equations are derived using the high order shear deformation theory based on different types of shape functions. Analytical method for determination of the critical buckling temperature for uniform increase of temperature, linear and non-linear change of temperature across thickness of a plate is developed. Numeri?cal results were obtained in ?ATLAB software using combinations of symbolic and numeric values. The paper presents comparative results of critical buckling tempera?ture for different types of shape functions. The accuracy of the formulation presented is verified by comparing to results available from the literature.

Abstract In this paper, mechanical buckling analysis of a functionally graded (FG) elliptical plate, which is made up of saturated porous materials and is resting on two parameters elastic foundation, is investigated. The plate is subjected to in-plane force and mechanical properties of the plate assumed to be varied through the thickness of it according to three different functions, which are called porosity distributions. Since it is assumed that the plate to be thick, the higher order shear deformation theory (HSDT) is employed to analyze the plate. Using the total potential energy function and using the Ritz method, the critical buckling load of the plate is obtained and the results are verified with the simpler states in the literature. The effect of different parameters, such as different models of porosity distribution, porosity variations, pores compressibility variations, boundary conditions, and aspect ratio of the plate, is considered and has been discussed in details. It is seen that increasing the porosity coefficient decreases the stiffness of the plate and consequently the critical buckling load will be reduced. Also, by increasing the pores' compressibility, the critical buckling load will be increased. Adding the elastic foundation to the structure will increase the critical buckling load. The results of this study can be used to design more efficient structures in the future.
