Background: It is established that the vibration response of submerged structures is quite different than that calculated in vacuum. Therefore, the study of vibration characteristics of submerged plate structures is important for safety and its designing purpose. Objective: To investigate the fundamental frequency of partially cracked Functionally Graded (FG) submerged plate based on analytical approach. Methods: The governing differential equation of the cracked-submerged plate is derived based on Kirchhoff’s thin classical plate theory in conjunction with the potential flow theory. The line spring model is used to incorporate the effect of crack in the form of additional bending whereas the effect of fluid medium is incorporated in form fluids forces associated with inertial effects of its surrounding fluids. The Bernoulli’s equation and velocity potential function are used to define the fluid forces acting on plate surface. Results: An approximate solution for governing equation of coupled fluid-plate system is obtained by using the Galerkin’s method. For validation of the present results, they are compared with the existing results of the previous published work, which are in good agreements. New results for natural frequencies as affected by gradient index, crack length, level of submergence and immersed depth of plate are presented for Simply Supported (SSSS) boundary condition. Conclusion: It has been concluded that the presence of crack and fluidic medium significantly affect the natural frequencies of the plate. It is observed that the increase in the length of crack and level of submergence decreases the fundamental frequency. In this paper, few patents have been discussed.

In this paper optimal design of free vibrations for functionally graded plates is studied using the analytical methods. The analytical methods can be employed for the solution of six of 21 arbitrary boundary conditions (the combinations of clamped, simply supported and free). The influence of various models of porosity and forms of different reinforcements with nanoplatelets and carbon nanotubes are investigated, including variations of stiffness/density along the thickness of a plate. The analysis is carried out for the classical plate theory. Parametric studies illustrate the possibility of increasing natural frequencies and the necessity of implementing the optimization techniques to find the best solutions from the engineering point of view.

The Face

This study is interested in assessing a way to analyze fundamental frequency of sandwich beams with functionally graded face sheet and homogeneous core. The face sheet, which is an exponentially graded material (EGM) varying smoothly in the thickness direction only, is composed of a mixture of metal and ceramic. The core which is made of foam metal is homogeneous. The classical plate theory (CPT) is used to analyze the face sheet and a higher-order theory (HOT) is used to analyze the core of sandwich beams, in which both the transverse normal and shear strains of the core are considered. The extended Galerkin method is used to solve the governing equations to obtain the vibration equations of the sandwich beams suitable for numerical analysis. The fundamental frequency obtained by the theoretical model is validated by using the finite element code ABAQUS and comparison with earlier works. The influences of material and geometric properties on the fundamental frequency of the sandwich beams are analyzed.

In this paper, a new plate structure has been found with the change of profile according to the sine function which we temporarily call as the sinusoidal plate. The classical plate theory and Galerkin’s technique have been utilized in estimating the nonlinear vibration behavior of the new non-rectangular plates reinforced by functionally graded (FG) graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) resting on the Kerr foundation. The FG-GNP plates were assumed to have two horizontal variable edges according to the sine function. Four different configurations of the FG-GNP plates based on the number of cycles of sine function were analyzed. The material characteristics of the GNPs were evaluated in terms of two models called the Halpin–Tsai micromechanical model and the rule of mixtures. First, to verify this method, the natural frequencies of new non-rectangular plates made of metal were compared with those obtained by the Finite Element Method (FEM). Then, the numerical outcomes are validated by comparing with the previous papers for rectangular FGM/GNP plates — a special case of this structure. Furthermore, the impacts of the thermal environment, geometrical parameters, and the elastic foundation on the dynamical responses are scrutinized by the 2D/3D graphical results and coded in Wolfram-Mathematica. The results of this work proved that the introduced approach has the advantages of being fast, having high accuracy, and involving uncomplicated calculation.

In this article, the effect of Pasternak foundation on free axisymmetric vibration of functionally graded circular plates subjected to mechanical in-plane force and a nonlinear temperature distribution (NTD) along the thickness direction has been investigated on the basis of classical plate theory. The plate material is graded in thickness direction according to a power-law distribution and its mechanical properties are assumed to be temperature-dependent (TD). At first, the equation for thermo-elastic equilibrium and then equation of motion for such a plate model have been derived by Hamilton's principle. Employing generalized differential quadrature rule (GDQR), the numerical values of thermal displacements and frequencies for clamped and simply supported plates vibrating in the first three modes have been computed. Values of in-plane force parameter for which the plate ceases to vibrate have been reported as critical buckling loads. The effect of temperature difference, material graded index, in-plane force, and foundation parameters on the frequencies has been analyzed. The benchmark results for uniform and linear temperature distributions (LTDs) have been computed. A study for plates made with the material having temperature-independent (TI) mechanical properties has also been performed as a special case. Comparison of results with the published work has been presented.

Based on the mathematical similarity of the eigenvalue problem of the Reddy’s third-order plate theory (RPT) and the classical plate theory (CPT), relationships between the solutions of axisymmetric vibration or buckling of functionally graded material (FGM) circular plates based on RPT and those of isotropic homogeneous circular plates based on CPT are presented, from which one can easily obtain the RPT solutions of axisymmetric vibration or buckling of FGM circular plates expressed in terms of the well-known CPT solutions of isotropic circular plates without much tedious mathematics. Effects of rotary inertia are not considered in the present analysis. The relationships obtained from the present analysis may be used to check the validity, convergence and accuracy of numerical results of FGM plates based on RPT, and also show clearly the intrinsic features of the effect of transverse shear deformation on the classical solutions.

Closed-form solution of a special higher-order shear and normal deformable plate theory is presented for the static situations, natural frequencies, and buckling responses of simple supported functionally graded materials plates (FGMs). Distinguished from the usual theories, the uniqueness is the differentia of the new plate theory. Each individual FGM plate has special characteristics, such as material properties and length-thickness ratio. These distinctive attributes determine a set of orthogonal polynomials, and then the polynomials can form an exclusive plate theory. Thus, the novel plate theory has two merits: one is the orthogonality, where the majority of the coefficients of the equations derived from Hamilton’s principle are zero; the other is the flexibility, where the order of the plate theory can be arbitrarily set. Numerical examples with different shapes of plates are presented and the achieved results are compared with the reference solutions available in the literature. Several aspects of the model involving relevant parameters, length-to-thickness, stiffness ratios, and so forth affected by static and dynamic situations are elaborate analyzed in detail. As a consequence, the applicability and the effectiveness of the present method for accurately computing deflection, stresses, natural frequencies, and buckling response of various FGM plates are demonstrated.

Theory Of Shells

This paper presents the superharmonic and subharmonic resonances of spiral stiffened functionally graded (SSFG) cylindrical shells under harmonic excitation. The stiffeners are considered to be externally or internally added to the shell. Also, it is assumed that the material properties of the stiffeners are continuously graded in the thickness direction. In order to model the stiffeners, the smeared stiffener technique is used. Within the context of the classical plate theory of shells, the von Kármán nonlinear equations are derived for the shell and stiffeners based on Hooke’s law and the relations of stress-strain. Using Galerkin’s method, the equation of motion is discretized. The superharmonic and subharmonic resonances are analyzed by the method of multiple scales. The influence of the material parameters and various geometrical properties on the superharmonic and subharmonic resonances of SSFG cylindrical shells is investigated. Considering these results, the hardening nonlinearity behavior and jump value of cylindrical shell is less and more than others, when the angle of stiffeners is [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively.

This paper presents an analytical investigation on postbuckling behavior of thin plates reinforced by carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and subjected to nonuniform thermal loads. Unlike many previous works considered ideal case of thermal load is that uniform temperature rise, the present study considers more practical situations of thermal load are that sinusoidal and linear in-plane temperature distributions. CNTs are reinforced into matrix through functionally graded distributions and effective properties of nanocomposite are estimated according to extended rule of mixture. Basic equations are based on classical plate theory taking into account Von Karman nonlinearity, initial geometrical imperfection, interactive pressure from elastic foundations and elasticity of tangential constraints of simply supported boundary edges. Basic equations are solved by using analytical solutions and Galerkin method. From the obtained closed-form relations, thermal buckling and postbuckling behavior of nanocomposite plates are analyzed through numerical examples.

This work presents the results of the dynamic behavior and natural frequencies of laminated polymer plates that are reinforced by carbon nanotubes. The laminated nanocomposite plates have two components: carbon nanotubes reinforced in different polymer matrices. The nonlinear equations are obtained by Reddy's third-order laminated plate theory with von Kármán's geometrical nonlinearity and solved by both Runge–Kutta and Galerkin methods. Detailed studies for the influences of carbon nanotubes' different types of reinforcements and weight fractions, geometrical parameters, Winkler and Pasternak foundations on the deflection–time curves, and natural frequencies of laminated functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced composite plates are examined.
