Abstract In this paper, free vibration analysis of annular sector plates has been presented via conical shell equations. By using the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) equation of motion of conical shell is obtained. The method of discrete singular convolution (DSC) and method differential quadrature (DQ) are used for solution of the vibration problem of annular plates for some special value of semi-vertex angle via conical shell equation. The obtained numerical results based on the two numerical approaches for annular sector plates compare well with the results available in the literature. The effects of some geometric parameters, grid numbers and types of the grid distribution have been discussed for curved plates.

The present paper investigates the free vibration analysis for functionally graded material plates of linearly varying thickness. A non-polynomial higher order shear deformation theory is used, which is based on inverse hyperbolic shape function for the tapered FGM plate. Three different types of material gradation laws, specifically: a power (P-FGM), exponential (E-FGM), and sigmoid law (S-FGM) are used to calculate the property variation in the thickness direction of FGM plate. The variational principle has been applied to derive the governing differential equation for the plates. Non-dimensional frequencies have been evaluated by considering the semi-analytical approach viz. Galerkin-Vlasov’s method. The accuracy of the preceding formulation has been validated through numerical examples consisting of constant thickness and tapered (variable thickness) plates. The findings obtained by this method are found to be in close agreement with the published results. Parametric studies are then explored for different geometric parameters like taper ratio and boundary conditions. It is deduced that the frequency parameter is maximum for S-FGM tapered plate as compared to E- and P-FGM tapered plate. Consequently, it is concluded that the S-FGM tapered plate is suitable for those engineering structures that are subjected to huge excitations to avoid resonance conditions. In addition, it is found that the taper ratio is significantly affected by the type of constraints on the edges of the tapered FGM plate. Some novel results for FGM plate with variable thickness are also computed that can be used as benchmark results for future reference.

In the present study, a 5th order shear deformation theory (5th OSDT) is presented for free vibration analysis of simply supported thick isotropic plates. Governing equations and boundary conditions are evaluated using the concept of virtual work. Numerical results for free vibration analysis include the effects of side to thickness and plate aspect ratios for simply supported thick isotropic plates. Non-dimensional bending mode frequencies, non-dimensional thickness shear mode frequencies and non-dimensional thickness stretch mode frequencies are obtained. Closed form analytical solutions for simply supported isotropic thick plates subjected to single sinusoidal distributed loads are obtained for comparison purpose. The problems considered in this study are solved using MATLAB software. Non-dimensional bending frequencies and non-dimensional thickness shear mode frequencies obtained through the 5th OSDT match well with the exact analytical and exponential shear deformation theory (ESDT) results. Further, the non-dimensional thickness stretch mode frequencies are found to be imaginary.

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.
