The analytical solutions of the first-order shear deformation theory are developed to study the buckling behaviour of functionally graded (FG) cylindrical shells under three types of mechanical loads. The Poisson's ratios of the FG cylindrical shells are assumed to be constant, while the Young's moduli vary continuously throughout the thickness direction according to the volume fraction of constituents given by power-law or exponential function. The stability equations are employed to obtain the closed-form solutions for critical buckling loads of each loading case. The dependence of the critical buckling loads on the variations of the material properties with a power-law or exponential function is studied. It is observed that these effects change appreciably the critical buckling loads. Results for critical loads are tabulated for thin and moderately thick shells. Although the critical buckling load of FG cylindrical shells decreases as the circumferential wave numbers increase, it rises for axially compressed long shells as the longitudinal wave numbers increase.

In this paper, the nonlinear buckling and post-buckling of an eccentrically stiffened cylindrical shell made of functionally graded materials, surrounded by an elastic medium and subjected to mechanical compressive loads and external pressures are investigated by an analytical approach. The cylindrical shells are reinforced by longitudinal and circumferential stiffeners. The material properties of cylindrical shells are graded in the thickness direction according to a volume fraction power-law distribution. The nonlinear stability equations for stiffened cylindrical shells are derived by using the first order shear deformation theory and smeared stiffeners technique. Closed-form expressions for determining the buckling load and load-deflection curves are obtained. The effectiveness of stiffeners in enhancing the stability of cylindrical shells is shown. The effects of volume fraction indexes, material properties, geometrical parameters and foundation parameters are analyzed in detail.

Graded Material

In this study, a formulation for the free vibration and buckling of cylindrical shells made of functionally graded material (FGM) subjected to combined static and periodic axial loadings are presented. The properties are temperature dependent and graded in the thickness direction according to a volume fraction power law distribution. The analysis is based on two different methods of first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) considering the transverse shear strains and the rotary inertias and the classical shell theory (CST). The results obtained show that the effect of transverse shear and rotary inertias on vibration and buckling of functionally graded cylindrical shells is dependent on the material composition, the temperature environment, the amplitude of static load, the deformation mode, and the shell geometry parameters.

In thermal environment, vibration behavior of Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) plates is investigated, and the materials are developed with mixing ceramic and metal. Present study is based on the first-order shear deformation theory of plate. Then, mixture methods such as Power law (P-) and Sigmoid (S-) models are chosen. According to a volume fraction, the material properties are assumed to vary continuously through the thickness direction and to be temperature dependent properties.

The present study deals with buckling, free vibration, and bending analysis of Functionally Graded (FG) and porous FG beams based on various beam theories. Equation of motion and boundary conditions are derived from Hamilton’s principle, and the finite element method is adopted to solve problems numerically. The FG beams are graded through the thickness direction, and the material distribution is controlled by power-law volume fraction. The effects of the different values of the power-law index, porosity exponent, and different boundary conditions on bending, natural frequencies and buckling characteristics are also studied. A new function is introduced to approximate the transverse shear strain in higher-order shear deformation theory. Furthermore, shifting the position of the neutral axis is taken into account. The results obtained numerically are validated with results obtained from ANSYS and those available in the previous work. The results of this study specify the crucial role of slenderness ratio, material distribution, and porosity condition on the characteristic of FG beams. The deflection results obtained by the proposed function have a maximum of six percent difference when the results are compared with ANSYS. It also has better results in comparison with the Reddy formulae, especially when the beam becomes slender. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2020-03091604 Full Text: PDF

Shear Deformable

In the present study, the thermoelastic vibration of shear deformable functionally graded material (FGM) curved beams with microstructural defects (porosity) has been analyzed by the finite element method. The formulation is based on the higher-order shear deformation theory. The material properties of FGM beams are allowed to vary continuously in the thickness direction by a simple power-law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. Even and uneven distributions of porosities in the beam have been considered with temperature-dependent material properties. Comparison and convergence study has been performed to validate the present formulation. Parametric studies have been done to study the effect of different influencing parameters on the frequency of the FGM curved beam, i.e. porosity, temperature rise, volume fraction index and opening angle. Some new results are presented which can be used as benchmark solutions for future research.

In this paper the response of circular cylindrical shell made of Functionally Graded Material (FGM) subjected to lateral impulse load was investigated. The effective material properties are assumed to vary continuously along the thickness direction according to a volume fraction power law distribution. First order shear deformation theory (FSDT) and Love's first approximation theory were utilized in the equilibrium equations. The boundary condition was considered to be simply supported. Displacement components are product of functions of position and time. Equilibrium equations for free and forced vibrations were solved using the Galerkin method. The impulse load in the form of time varying uniform pressure was applied onto a small rectangular area of the shell surface. The function of time for displacement components is obtained using the results of free vibration and convolution integral. Finally time response of displacement components is derived using mode superposition method. The influence of material composition (power law exponent), geometrical parameters (length to radius and radius to thickness ratios) and load parameters (position and size of the area of the applied load and peak pressure value for different pulse type) on the dynamic response was investigated.

Annular Plates

Based on the first-order shear deformation theory of plate, governing equations for the axisymmetric buckling of functionally graded circular/annular plates are derived. The coupled deflections and rotations in the pre-buckling state of the plates are neglected in analysis. The material properties vary continuously through the thickness of the plate, and obey a power law distribution of the volume fraction of the constituents. The resulting differential equations are numerically solved by using a shooting method. The critical buckling loads of circular and annular plates are obtained, which are compared with those obtained from the classical plate theory. Effects of material properties, ratio of inter to outer radius, ratio of plate thickness to outer radius, and boundary conditions on the buckling behavior of FGM plates are discussed.

This article investigates the influence of graphene platelet reinforcements and nonlinear elastic foundations on geometrically nonlinear dynamic response of a partially fluid-filled functionally graded porous cylindrical shell under exponential loading. Material properties are assumed to be varied continuously in the thickness in terms of porosity and graphene platelet reinforcement. In this study, three different distributions for porosity and three different dispersions for graphene platelets have been considered in the direction of the shell thickness. The Halpin–Tsai equations are used to find the effective material properties of the graphene platelet–reinforced materials. The equations of motion are derived based on the higher-order shear deformation theory and Sanders’s theory. Displacements and rotations of the shell middle surface are approximated by combining polynomial functions in the meridian direction and truncated Fourier series with an appropriate number of harmonic terms in the circumferential direction. An incremental–iterative approach is used to solve the nonlinear equations of motion of partially fluid-filled cylindrical shells based on the Newmark direct integration and Newton–Raphson methods. The governing equations of liquid motion are derived using a finite strip formulation of incompressible inviscid potential flow. The effects of various parameters on dynamic responses are investigated. A detailed numerical study is carried out to bring out the effects of some influential parameters, such as fluid depth, porosity distribution, and graphene platelet dispersion parameters on nonlinear dynamic behavior of functionally graded porous nanocomposite partially fluid-filled cylindrical shells reinforced with graphene platelets.

The investigation conducted in this paper aims to study free vibration and buckling behaviors of size-dependent functionally graded sandwich nanobeams. In order to take into account the small size effects, nonlocal elasticity theory of Eringen's is incorporated. Material properties of the functionally graded sandwich beams are supposed to change continuously through the thickness direction according to two forms of the volume fraction of constituents by power law functionally graded material and sigmoid law functionally graded material. These rules are modified to consider the effect of porosity, which covers four kinds of porosity distributions. Two types of sandwich nanobeams were provided: (a) homogeneous core and functionally graded skins and (b) functionally graded core and homogeneous skins. Third-order shear deformation theory without any shear correction factor in conjunction with Hamilton's principle is used to extract the governing equations of motions of porous functionally graded sandwich nanobeams and then solved analytically for two hinged ends. The effects of nonlocal parameter, length to thickness ratios, material graduation index, amount of porosity, porosity distribution shape, on the nondimensional frequency and critical buckling load of the functionally graded sandwich nanobeams made of porous materials are exhibited by a parametric study.

This paper investigates the stability analysis of plates made of functionally graded material (FGM) and integrated with piezoelectric actuator and sensor at top and bottom face subjected to electrical and mechanical loading. The finite element formulation is presented using degenerated shell element, von-Karman hypothesis, higher-order shear deformation theory and considering the piezoelectric effect. The governing equilibrium equation is derived using the principle of minimum energy and solution for critical buckling load is obtained by solving Eigen value problem. The material properties of the FGM plates are assumed to be graded along the thickness direction according to simple power-law distribution in terms of the volume fraction of the constituents, while the poison’s ratio is assumed to be constant. Stability analysis is carried out on simply supported plate made of newly introduced metal based functionally graded material (FGM) i.e. mixture of aluminum and stainless steel which exhibits the two different material properties in single material i.e. high corrosion resistance as well as high strength. Results show that the buckling strength of plate increases with increase in volume fraction indices through the thickness and it can be further improved with the help of piezoelectric effect.
