An exact analysis is given of the natural frequencies and mode shapes of an unsupported elliptical plate whose thickness varies in a lenticular manner, vanishing at the boundary. Account is also taken of middle-surface stresses arising from a planar quadratic temperature distribution.

Natural frequencies and mode shapes are presented for the free axisymmetric vibration of spherical shells with linearly varying thickness along the meridian. Clamped and hinged edges corresponding to opening angles 30, 45, 60 and 90 deg have been considered in this technical brief to cover a wide range from shallow to deep spherical shells. Variations in thickness are seen to have very pronounced effects on the frequencies and mode shapes.

Abstract A solution is given for the bending of a uniformly loaded rectangular plate, simply supported on two opposite edges and having arbitrary boundary conditions on the others. The thickness variation is taken as exponential in order to make the solution tractable, and thus closely approximates to uniform taper if the latter is small.

Functionally graded square and rectangular plates of different thicknesses placed on the elastic foundation modeled according to the Winkler-Pasternak theory have been studied. The thermal and mechanical characteristics, apart from Poisson’s ratio, are considered to continuously differ through the thickness of the studied material as stated in a power-law distribution. A mathematical model of functionally graded plate which include interaction with elastic foundation is defined. The equilibrium and stability equations are derived using high order shear deformation theory that comprises various kinds of shape function and the von Karman nonlinearity. A new analytically integrable shape function has been introduced. Hamilton’s principle has been applied with the purpose of acquiring the equations of motion. An analytical method for identifying both natural frequencies and critical buckling temperature for cases of linear and nonlinear temperature change through the plate thickness has been established. In order to verify the derived theoretical results on numerical examples, an original program code has been implemented within software MATLAB. Critical buckling temperature and natural frequencies findings are shown below. Previous scientific research and papers confirms that presented both the theoretical formulation and the numerical results are accurate. The comparison has been made between newly established findings based on introduced shape function and the old findings that include 13 different shape functions available in previously published articles. The final part of the research provides analysis and conclusions related to the impact of the power-law index, foundation stiffness, and temperature gradient on critical buckling temperature and natural frequencies of the functionally graded plates.
