. This paper deals with nonlinear free axisymmetric vibrations of functionally graded thin circular plates (FGCP) whose properties vary through its thickness. The inhomogeneity of the plate is characterized by a power law variation of the Young’s modulus and mass density of the material along the thickness direction, whereas Poisson’s ratio is assumed to be constant. The theoretical model is based on Hamilton’s principle and spectral analysis using a basis of admissible Bessel’s functions to yield the frequencies of the circular plates under clamped boundary conditions on the basis of the classical plate theory. The large vibration amplitudes problem, reduced to a set of non-linear algebraic equations, is solved numerically. The non-linear to linear frequency ratios are presented. Then, explicit analytical solutions are presented, based on the semi-analytical model previously developed by EL Kadiri et al. [1-2] for beams and rectangular plates, which allow direct and easy calculation for the first non-linear axisymmetric mode shape, with their associated non-linear frequencies of FG circular plates and which are expected to be very useful in engineering applications and in further analytical developments. An excellent agreement is found with the results obtained by the iterative method.

The non-linear to linear frequency ratios are presented for various values of the volume fraction index n showing hardening type non-linearity. The distribution of the radial bending stress associated to the non-linear mode shape is also given for various vibration amplitudes, and is compared with those predicted by the linear theory.

In the present study, the problem of geometrically nonlinear free vibrations of functionally graded rectangular plates (FGRP) is studied. A homogenization technique has been developed to reduce the FGRP problem under consideration to that of isotropic homogeneous rectangular plate. The material properties of the functionally graded composites examined herein are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction of the plate and estimated through the rule of mixture. The proposed theoretical model is based on the classical plate theory and the Von Karman relationships, and the amplitude equation is derived in the form of a set of non-linear algebraic equation using Hamilton’s principle and a multimode approach. The fundamental nonlinear frequency parameters and the bending stress are then calculated using the iterative and explicit methods of solution to show the effect of the vibration amplitudes and the material distributions. The results obtained in this study are found to be in a good agreement with the published ones dealing with the problem of large vibration of functionally graded plates.

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.

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.

AbstractAn interesting phenomenon is observed while conducting numerical simulation of non-linear dynamic response of FGM (functionally graded material) beam having large amplitude motion under harmonic excitation. Instead of providing a frequency sweep (forward or backward), if amplitude is incremented and response frequency is searched for a particular amplitude of vibration, solution domain can be enhanced and stable as well as unstable solution can be obtained. In the present work, first non-linear differential equations of motion for large amplitude vibration of a beam, which are obtained using Timoshenko beam theory, are converted into a set of non-linear algebraic equations using harmonic balance method. Subsequently an amplitude incremental iterative technique is imposed in order to obtain steady-state solution in frequency amplitude plane. It is observed that the method not only shows very good agreement with the available research but the domain of applicability of the method is enhanced up to a considerable extent as the stable and unstable solution can be captured. Subsequently forced vibration response of FGM beams are analysed.

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.

Free vibration analysis of the porous functionally graded circular plates has been presented on the basis of classical plate theory. The three defined coupled equations of motion of the porous functionally graded circular/annular plate were decoupled to one differential equation of free transverse vibrations of plate. The one universal general solution was obtained as a linear combination of the multiparametric special functions for the functionally graded circular and annular plates with even and uneven porosity distributions. The multiparametric frequency equations of functionally graded porous circular plate with diverse boundary conditions were obtained in the exact closed-form. The influences of the even and uneven distributions of porosity, power-law index, diverse boundary conditions and the neglected effect of the coupling in-plane and transverse displacements on the dimensionless frequencies of the circular plate were comprehensively studied for the first time. The formulated boundary value problem, the exact method of solution and the numerical results for the perfect and imperfect functionally graded circular plates have not yet been reported.

Means of solving the non-linear differential equations of plate bending are revieweed and a method based on minimizing the corresponding energy integral is selected as offering most advantages. The energy intergral can be approximated either by using finite-difference approximatons or by assuming a form of displacement variation. Two sets of non-linear algebraic equations (in the in-plane and out-of-plane deflections) are thus formed and, by substitution alternately in each set, the resulting linear equations are solved. Results for simply supported rectangular plates have been worked out in some detail; these are compared with tests made on plates of various aspect ratios. Good agreement on maximum values of stress and deflection was obtained.

In functionally graded saturated poroelastic circular plates with immovable simply supported and clamped rims, the axisymmetric nonlinear bending under transverse thermo-mechanical loading has been parametrically studied and compared with the axisymmetric postbuckling and nonlinear bending under thermal loading. Based on the classical plate theory, Love–Kirchhoff hypotheses and Sander’s assumptions, the general coupled nonlinear radial and transverse equilibrium equations, central continuity, symmetry and boundary conditions has been derived in ordinary and state-spatial forms. The corresponding difference equations have been achieved by using the generalized differential quadrature method. The equations have been assembled and numerically solved by using the Newton–Raphson iterative algorithm. The effects of the mechanical and thermal loads, pore distribution type, porosity parameter, Skempton’s coefficient, and thickness and boundary condition type on the behavior of the deflection, whether caused by thermo-mechanical bending, thermal postbuckling, or thermal bending, have been investigated in detail. From the parametric study, a novel quantity determining bending behavior has been found. The axisymmetric themo-mechanical nonlinear bending deflection is inversely and nonlinearly proportional to thermal load when the quantity is greater than a critical value and is nonlinearly proportional to thermal load when the quantity is less than a critical value. It was verified that the plate behavior complies with the general rules known for FG saturated poroelastic circular plates and with those known for metal–ceramic functionally graded circular plates whose governing equations are mathematically analogous to those of the current research.
