In this work, flutter behavior of Functionally Graded Material (FGM) panel is investigated based on the physical neutral surface. The panel is made with ceramic and metal according to linear rule of mixture. The virtual work principle is applied including pressure due to aero-dynamic load. Then governing equations are derived using von Karman's strain-displacement relations. Conventionally, mid-plane is used as a reference plane for laminate structures, while this concept is not appropriate for materially asymmetry of a panel such as FGMs. For this reason, physical neutral surface is defined as the origin of coordinate system in the structure. Numerical results are discussed and compared with previous studies. Finally, flutter behavior is investigated according to the volume fractions, temperature distributions and aero-dynamic pressures.

In this study, thermal post-buckling characteristics of functionally graded (FG) panels in hypersonic airflows are investigated. The volume fraction and the material properties of FGMs are continuously changed from ceramic to metal in the thickness direction agreeably to a simple power law distribution and a linear rule of mixture, respectively. Using the principle of virtual work, the governing equations are derived and the finite element method is applied to obtain the solutions. Based on the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT), the FG panels are modeled by the von Karman strain-displacement relation for the structural non-linearity. Also, the third-order piston theory is employed to consider the aerodynamic non-linearity.

This paper presents the formulation of dynamic stiffness matrix for the natural vibration analysis of porous power-law functionally graded Levy-type plate. In the process of formulating the dynamic stiffness matrix, Kirchhoff-Love plate theory in tandem with the notion of neutral surface has been taken on board. The developed dynamic stiffness matrix, a transcendental function of frequency, has been solved through the Wittrick–Williams algorithm. Hamilton’s principle is used to obtain the equation of motion and associated natural boundary conditions of porous power-law functionally graded plate. The variation across the thickness of the functionally graded plate’s material properties follows the power-law function. During the fabrication process, the microvoids and pores develop in functionally graded material plates. Three types of porosity distributions are considered in this article: even, uneven, and logarithmic. The eigenvalues computed by the dynamic stiffness matrix using Wittrick–Williams algorithm for isotropic, power-law functionally graded, and porous power-law functionally graded plate are juxtaposed with previously referred results, and good agreement is found. The significance of various parameters of plate vis-à-vis aspect ratio ( L/b), boundary conditions, volume fraction index ( p), porosity parameter ( e), and porosity distribution on the eigenvalues of the porous power-law functionally graded plate is examined. The effect of material density ratio and Young’s modulus ratio on the natural vibration of porous power-law functionally graded plate is also explained in this article. The results also prove that the method provided in the present work is highly accurate and computationally efficient and could be confidently used as a reference for further study of porous functionally graded material plate.

The post-buckling of the functionally graded composite plate under thermal environment with aerodynamic loading is studied. The structural model has three layers with ceramic, FGM and metal, respectively. The outer layers of the sandwich plate are different homogeneous and isotropic material properties for ceramic and metal. Whereas the core is FGM layer, material properties vary continuously from one interface to the other in the thickness direction according to a simple power law distribution in terms of the volume fractions. Governing equations are derived by using the principle of virtual work and numerical solutions are solved through a finite element method. The first-order shear deformation theory and von-Karman strain-displacement relations are based to derive governing equations of the plate. Aerodynamic effects are dealt by adopting nonlinear third-order piston theory for structural and aerodynamic nonlinearity. The Newton-Raphson iterative method applied for solving the nonlinear equations of the thermal post-buckling analysis

Nonlinear analysis of a thin circular functionally grade plate is formulated in terms of von Karman’s dynamic equations. The plate thickness is constant and temperature-dependent functionally graded material (FGM) properties vary through the thickness of the plate. Forces and moments of the plate, due to large vibration amplitudes, are developed in this paper by solving the governing equations for harmonic vibrations. Corresponding results are illustrated in the case of steady-state free vibration. The results show that the variation of volume fraction index is influential in forces, moments, and FGM properties.

This work presents the micro-mechanical models in thermal environment for the vibration behavior of Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) plate using First-order Shear Deformation Theory (FSDT). In the formulation, the heat transfer effects and the temperature-dependent material properties are considered. Relative estimation of micromechanical behaviors of Mori-Tanaka Method (MTM) is used. And, neutral surface concept is adopted as the reference plane due to the asymmetry in the thickness direction of the model. In the numerical analysis, Finite Element Method is applied for various volume fractions and temperature rising conditions. Also Power-law and Sigmoid FGMs are discussed in thermo-elastic vibration characteristics.

An improved simple hyperbolic shear deformation theory involving only four unknown functions, as against five functions in case of first or other higher-order shear deformation theories, is introduced for the analysis of functionally graded plates resting on a Winkler–Pasternak elastic foundation. The governing equations are derived by employing the principle of virtual work and the physical neutral surface concept. The accuracy of the present analysis is demonstrated by comparing some of the present results with those of the classical, the first-order and the other higher-order theories.

A layer-wise finite element approach is adopted to analyse the hollow cylindrical shell made of functionally graded material with piezoelectric rings as sensor/actuator, under dynamic load. The mechanical properties of the substrate are regulated by volume fraction as a function of radial coordinate. The thickness of functionally graded material shell and piezo-rings is divided into mathematical sub-layers and then the general layer-wise laminate theory is formulated through introducing piecewise continuous approximations across the thickness, accounting for any discontinuity in derivatives of the displacement at the interface between the ring and cylinder. The virtual work statement including structural and electrical potential energies yields the three-dimensional governing equations which are reduced to two-dimensional differential equations, using layer-wise method. For axisymmetric case, the resulted equations are solved with one-dimensional finite element method in the axial direction. By assembling stiffness and mass matrices, the required stress and displacement continuities at each interface and between the two adjacent elements are forced. The results for free vibration and static loading are applied to study the convergence and verified by comparing them to solutions of similar existing problems. The induced deformation by piezoelectric actuators as well as the effect of rings on functionally graded material shell is investigated.

In thermal environment, vibration behavior of Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) plates is investigated, and the materials are developed with mixing ceramic and metal. Present study is based on the first-order shear deformation theory of plate. Then, mixture methods such as Power law (P-) and Sigmoid (S-) models are chosen. According to a volume fraction, the material properties are assumed to vary continuously through the thickness direction and to be temperature dependent properties. Further, thermal effects are considered as uniform temperature rise and one dimensional heat transfer. For the structure analysis, FEM is used to obtain the natural frequencies based on the virtual work principle.

In this work, hypersonic aero-thermo post-buckling and thermal flutter behaviors of Functionally Graded (FG) panels under thermal and aerodynamic loads are investigated. The volume fractions of constitutive materials of the panels are gradually varied from ceramic to metal in the thickness direction based on a simple power law distribution. Thus, the material properties of the panel are also changed by a linear rule of mixture. Furthermore, the material properties are assumed to be temperature dependent because the panels are mainly used in the high temperature environments. Using the principle of virtual work, the equations of motion of the first-order shear deformation plate theory (FSDPT) are derived and the finite element method is applied to get the solution. In the formulation, the von Karman strain-displacement relationship is used for structural nonlinearity, and the partial second-order piston theory is adopted to consider the aerodynamic nonlinearity. Newton-Raphson iterative technique is used to solve the governing equations, and linear eigenvalue analysis is performed to obtain the hypersonic flutter boundaries.
