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.

This paper describes a study of three-dimensional free vibration analysis of thick circular and annular functionally graded (FG) plates resting on Pasternak foundation. The formulation is based on the linear, small strain and exact elasticity theory. Plates with different boundary conditions are considered and the material properties of the FG plate are assumed to vary continuously through the thickness according to power law. The kinematic and the potential energy of the plate-foundation system are formulated and the polynomial-Ritz method is used to solve the eigenvalue problem. Convergence and comparison studies are done to demonstrate the correctness and accuracy of the present method. With respect to geometric parameters, elastic coefficients of foundation and different boundary conditions some new results are reported which maybe used as a benchmark solution for future researches.

This paper presents a new numerical technique for the free vibration analysis of isotropic three dimensional elastic plates with damaged boundaries. In the study, it is assumed that the plates have free lateral surfaces, and two opposite simply supported edges, while the other edges could be clamped, simply supported or free. For this purpose, the Chebyshev collocation method is applied to obtain the natural frequencies of three dimensional plates with damaged clamped boundary conditions, where the governing equations and boundary conditions are discretized by the presented method and put into matrix vector form. The damaged boundaries are represented by distributed translational springs. In the present study the boundary conditions are coupled with the governing equation to obtain the eigenvalue problem. Convergence studies are carried out to determine the sufficient number of grid points used. First, the results obtained for the undamaged plates are verified with previous results in the literature. Subsequently, the results obtained for the damaged three dimensional plates indicate the behavior of the natural vibration frequencies with respect to the severity of the damaged boundary. This analysis can lead to an efficient technique for damage detection of structures in which joint or boundary damage plays a significant role in the dynamic characteristics. The results obtained from the Chebychev collocation solutions are seen to be in excellent agreement with those presented in the literature.

Piezoelectric Layers

For the first time, a two-dimensional (2D) piezoelasticity-based analytical solution is developed for free vibration analysis of axially functionally graded (AFG) beams integrated with piezoelectric layers and subjected to arbitrary supported boundary conditions. The material properties of the elastic layers are considered to vary linearly along the axial ([Formula: see text]) direction of the beam. Modified Hamiltons principle is applied to derive the weak form of coupled governing equations in which, stresses, displacements and electric field variables acting as primary variables. Further, the extended Kantorovich method is employed to reduce the governing equation into sets of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) along the axial ([Formula: see text]) and thickness ([Formula: see text]) directions. The ODEs along the [Formula: see text]-direction have constant coefficients, where the ODEs along [Formula: see text]-direction have variable coefficients. These sets of ODEs are solved analytically, which ensures the same order of accuracy for all the variables by satisfying the boundary and continuity conditions in exact pointwise manner. New benchmark numerical results are presented for a single layer AFG beam and AFG beams integrated with piezoelectric layers. The influence of the axial gradation, aspect ratio and boundary conditions on the natural frequencies of the beam are also investigated. These numerical results can be used for assessing 1D beam theories and numerical techniques.
