In this paper, the free and forced vibration of a functional rectangular plate in contact with a turbulent fluid is investigated. Functional plates have been considered due to their high thermal resistance to residual stresses. The geometry of the problem is that one side of the reservoir in which the fluid is placed is covered with a plate of Functionally Graded Material (FGM). In order to approximate the displacement of the plate, assuming the third-order theory of shear deformation, trigonometric harmonic test functions are used, which determine the boundary conditions of the simple and fixed plate support. In the equations governing fluid oscillating behavior, the potential velocity of the fluid is obtained by determining the boundary conditions of the fluid in the form of February series functions. To achieve the natural frequency of the plate in contact with turbulent fluid and the shape of the vibrating mode, the Rayleigh-Ritz energy method is used based on the minimum potential energy. In order to check the accuracy of the method used, the results of analytical solution after solving the equations by coding in Wolfram Mathematica software have been compared with numerical solution of Abaqus software and then with accurate results in references, which shows the appropriate accuracy of the solution. Finally, the effect of volumetric coefficient parameters, volume ratio, length ratio, plate thickness ratio, fluid height, reservoir width and boundary conditions on the natural frequency of the plate in contact with turbulent fluid has been investigated and analyzed.

The cylindrical bending condition for structural models is very common in the literature because it allows an incisive and simple verification of the proposed plate and shell models. In the present paper, 2D numerical approaches (the Generalized Differential Quadrature (GDQ) and the finite element (FE) methods) are compared with an exact 3D shell solution in the case of free vibrations of functionally graded material (FGM) plates and shells. The first 18 vibration modes carried out through the 3D exact model are compared with the frequencies obtained via the 2D numerical models. All the 18 frequencies obtained via the 3D exact model are computed when the structures have simply supported boundary conditions for all the edges. If the same boundary conditions are used in the 2D numerical models, some modes are missed. Some of these missed modes can be obtained modifying the boundary conditions imposing free edges through the direction perpendicular to the direction of cylindrical bending. However, some modes cannot be calculated via the 2D numerical models even when the boundary conditions are modified because the cylindrical bending requirements cannot be imposed for numerical solutions in the curvilinear edges by definition. These features are investigated in the present paper for different geometries (plates, cylinders, and cylindrical shells), types of FGM law, lamination sequences, and thickness ratios.

This study aimed to develop series analytical solutions based on the Mindlin plate theory for the free vibrations of functionally graded material (FGM) rectangular plates. The material properties of FGM rectangular plates are assumed to vary along their thickness, and the volume fractions of the plate constituents are defined by a simple power-law function. The series solutions consist of the Fourier cosine series and auxiliary functions of polynomials. The series solutions were established by satisfying governing equations and boundary conditions in the expanded space of the Fourier cosine series. The proposed solutions were validated through comprehensive convergence studies on the first six vibration frequencies of square plates under four combinations of boundary conditions and through comparison of the obtained convergent results with those in the literature. The convergence studies indicated that the solutions obtained for different modes could converge from the upper or lower bounds to the exact values or in an oscillatory manner. The present solutions were further employed to determine the first six vibration frequencies of FGM rectangular plates with various aspect ratios, thickness-to-width ratios, distributions of material properties and combinations of boundary conditions.

This study provides an overview on the effect of porosity on free vibrations and more importantly aeroelastic stability margins of cylindrical shells. A general formulation for cylindrical shells is first developed including the effects of shear deformation and rotary inertia along with Sander’s rigid body rotation modification. Two porosity distributions of even and uneven are considered for functionally graded shells. The most general form of power-law model which is known as four-parameter power-law is utilized to provide a clear understanding for the qualification of functionally graded material. A Ritz-based solution algorithm being capable of representing all combinations of symmetric and asymmetric boundary conditions by a penalty method is also introduced. In addition to the capability of satisfying all boundary conditions, the presented solution method is very fast in terms of convergence and computational effort. Various parametric studies are provided and practical results are reported.

Abstract The focus of the present work is to present an analytical approach for buckling and free vibrations analysis of thick functionally graded nanoplates embedded in a Winkler-Pasternak medium. The equations of motion are derived according to both the third-order shear deformation theory, proposed by Reddy, and the nonlocal elasticity Eringen's model. For the first time, the equations are solved analytically for plates with two simply supported opposite edges, the solutions also turning helpful as shape functions in the analysis of structures with more complex geometries and boundary conditions. Sensitivity analyses are finally performed to highlight the role of nonlocal parameters, aspect and side-to-thickness ratios, boundary conditions, and functionally graded material properties in the overall response of plates and cylindrical shells. It is felt that the proposed strategy could be usefully adopted as benchmark solutions in numerical routines as well as for predicting some unexpected behaviors, for instance, in terms of buckling load, in thick nanoplates on elastic foundations.

The present investigation brings to the readers three new hybrid higher-order shear deformation theory (HSDT) models and analyses the functionally graded material (FGM) plates. The major objective of this work is to develop three HSDTs in a unique formulation by polynomial–hyperbolic–exponential and polynomial–trigonometric forms, propose the three new HSDT models, investigate the effect of thickness stretching by considering a quasi-three-dimensional theory and analyse the free vibration of isotropic and FGM monolayer and sandwich (symmetric as well as non-symmetric, with hardcore as well as softcore) plates to demonstrate the models ability. Therefore, the Hamilton’s principle is exploited to develop equations of motion based on a displacement field of only five unknowns, of which three of them distinguished the transverse displacement membranes through the plate thickness (bending, shear and stretching displacements). In addition, the analytical solutions are found by applying the Navier approach for a simply supported boundary conditions type. The theory also considered that transverse shear deformation effect satisfied the stress-free boundary conditions on the plate-free surfaces without any requirement of shear correction factors. The used mechanical properties followed the power law and the Mori–Tanaka scheme distributions through the plate thickness. The determined results explained the effects of different non-dimensional parameters, and the proposed HSDTs predict the proper responses for monolayer and sandwich (symmetric as well as non-symmetric, with hardcore as well as softcore) FGM plates in comparison with other different plates’ theories solutions found in the literature references, thus the reliability and accuracy of the present approach are ascertained. It is obtained that the present formulations of polynomial–hyperbolic–exponential and polynomial–trigonometric forms can be further extended to all existing HSDTs models, for numerous problems related to the shear deformable effect.

In the present research article, classical plate theory has been adopted to analyze functionally graded material plate, having out of plane material inhomogeneity, resting on Winkler–Pasternak foundation under different combinations of boundary conditions. The material properties of the functionally graded material plate vary according to power law in the thickness direction. Rayleigh–Ritz method in conjugation with polynomial displacement functions has been used to develop a computationally efficient mathematical model to study free vibration characteristics of the plate. Convergence of frequency parameters (nondimensional natural frequencies) has been attained by increasing the number of polynomials of displacement function. The frequency parameters of the functionally graded material plate obtained by proposed method are compared with the open literature to validate the present model. Firstly, the present model is used to calculate first six natural frequencies of the functionally graded plate under all possible combinations of boundary conditions for the constant value of stiffness of Winkler and Pasternak foundation moduli. Further, the effects of density, aspect ratio, power law exponent, Young’s modulus on frequency parameters of the functionally graded plate resting on Winkler–Pasternak foundation under specific boundary conditions viz. CCCC (all edges clamped), SSSS (all edges simply supported), CFFF (cantilever), SCSF (simply supported-clamped-free) are studied extensively. Furthermore, effect of stiffness of elastic foundation moduli (kp and kw) on frequency parameters are analyzed. It has been observed that effects of aspect ratios, boundary conditions, Young’s modulus and density on frequency parameters are significant at lower value of the power law exponent. It has also been noted from present investigation that Pasternak foundation modulus has greater effect on frequency parameters as compared to the Winkler foundation modulus. Most of the results presented in this paper are novel and may be used for the validation purpose by researchers. Three dimensional mode shapes for the functionally graded plate resting on elastic foundation have also been presented in this article.

A novel nonlocal shear deformation theory is established to investigate functionally graded nanoplates. The significant benefit of this theory is that it consists of only one unknown variable in its displacement formula and governing differential equation, but it can take into account both the quadratic distribution of the shear strains and stresses through the plate thickness as well as the small-scale effects on nanostructures. The numerical solutions of simply supported rectangular functionally graded material nanoplates are carried out by applying the Navier procedure. To indicate the accuracy and convergence of this theory, the present solutions have been compared with other published results. Furthermore, a deep parameter study is also carried out to exhibit the influence of some parameters on the response of the functionally graded material nanoplates.

This paper applies the stochastic finite element method (SFEM) to perform the natural frequency analysis of functionally graded material (FGM). It is assumed that the elastic modulus and width of the FGM beam vary along the thickness and width directions following exponential functions. The stochastic eigenvalue problem is solved independently by first-order perturbation and Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) method through changing elastic modulus as spatial randomness. The results show that the first-order perturbation method based SFEM produces a very close value to MCS method.

Static and free vibration response analysis of a functionally graded piezoelectric material plate under thermal, electric, and mechanical loads is done in this study. The displacement field is acquired using the first-order shear deformation theory, and the Hamilton principle is applied to deduce the motion equations. Temperature-dependent material properties of the functionally graded material plate are used, and these properties follow the power-law distributions along the thickness direction. However, the properties of piezoelectric material layers are assumed to be independent of the electric field and temperature. Finite element formulation for the functionally graded piezoelectric material plate is done using the combined effect of mechanical and electrical loads. The effects of parameters like electrical loading, volume fraction exponent N, and temperature distribution on the static and free vibration characteristics of the functionally graded piezoelectric material square plate are analyzed and presented. Responses are obtained in terms of the centerline deflection, axial stress and the nondimensional natural frequency with various boundary conditions. It is observed that the centerline deflection and nondimensional natural frequency increases as exponent N increases. At the same time, the axial stress decreases with an increase in exponent N. The findings of the static and the free vibration analysis suggest the potential application of the functionally graded piezoelectric material plate in the piezoelectric actuator as well as for sensing deflection in bimorph.
