In this paper, an analytical approach for nonlinear buckling and post-buckling behavior of stiffened porous functionally graded plate rested on Pasternak's elastic foundation under mechanical load in thermal environment is presented. The orthogonal and/or oblique stiffeners are attached to the surface of plate and are included in the calculation by improving the Lekhnitskii's smeared stiffener technique in the framework of higher-order shear deformation plate theory. The complex equilibrium and stability equations are established based on the Reddy's higher-order shear deformation plate theory and taken into account the geometrical nonlinearity of von Kármán. The solution forms of displacements satisfying the different boundary conditions are chosen, the stress function method and the Galerkin procedure are used to solve the problem. The good agreements of the present analytical solution are validated by making the comparisons of the present results with other results. In addition, the effects of porosity distribution, stiffener, volume fraction index, thermal environment, elastic foundation… on the critical buckling load and post-buckling response of porous functionally graded material plates are numerically investigated.

This paper deals with the free vibration and buckling analysis of functionally graded material (FGM) plates, resting on the Winkler–Pasternak elastic foundation. The higher order shear deformation plate theory (HSPT) is adopted for the realistic variation of transverse displacement through the thickness, using the power law distribution to describe the variation of the material properties. Both the effects of shear deformation and rotary inertia are considered. In the present model, the plate is discretised into [Formula: see text] eight noded serendipity quadratic elements with seven nodal degrees of freedom (DOFs). The validation study is carried out by comparing the calculated values with those given in the literature. The effects of various parameters like the Winkler and Pasternak modulus coefficients, volume fraction index, aspect ratio, thickness ratio and different boundary conditions on the behaviour of the FGM plates are studied.

This paper is concerned with buckling analyses of rectangular functionally graded plates (FGPs) under uniaxial compression, biaxial compression and combined compression and tension loads. It is assumed that the plate is a mixture of metal and ceramic that its properties changes as afunction according to the simple power law distribution through the plate thickness. The fundamental eigen-buckling equations for rectangular plates of functionally graded material (FGM) are obtained by discretizing the plate into some finite strips, which are developed on the basis of the higher order plate theory (HOPT). The solution is obtained by the minimization of the total potential energy. Numerical results fora variety of FGPs are given, and compared with the available results, wherever possible. The effects of thickness ratio, variation of the volume fraction of the ceramic phase through the thickness, aspect ratio, boundary conditions and also load distribution on the buckling load capacity of FGM plates are determined and discussed. It is found that the buckling behavior of FGM plates is particularly influenced by application of HOPT, especially when the plates are thick.

In the present article, the buckling analysis of thin functionally graded rectangular plates resting on elastic foundation is presented. According to the classical plate theory, (Kirchhoff plate theory) and using the principle of minimum total potential energy, the equilibrium equations are obtained for a functionally graded rectangular plate. It is assumed that the plate is rested on elastic foundation, Winkler and Pasternak elastic foundations, and is subjected to in-plane loads. Since the plate is made of functionally graded materials (FGMs), there is a coupling between the equations. In order to remove the existing coupling, a new analytical method is introduced where the coupled equations are converted to decoupled equations. Therefore, it is possible to solve the stability equations analytically for special cases of boundary conditions. It is assumed that the plate is simply supported along two opposite edges in x direction and has arbitrary boundary conditions along the other edges (Levy boundary conditions). Finally, the critical buckling loads for a functionally graded plate with different boundary conditions, some aspect ratios and thickness to side ratios, various power of FGM and foundation parameter are presented in tables and figures. It is concluded that increasing the power of FGM decreases the critical buckling load and the load carrying capacity of plate increases where the plate is rested on Pasternak in comparison with the Winkler type.

This paper presents a numerical approach for static bending and free vibration analysis of the functionally graded porous plates (FGPP) resting on the elastic foundation using the refined quasi-3D sinusoidal shear deformation theory (RQSSDT) combined with the Moving Kriging–interpolation meshfree method. The plate theory considers both shear deformation and thickness-stretching effects by the sinusoidal distribution of the in-plane displacements, satisfies the stress-free boundary conditions on the top and bottom surfaces of the plate without shear correction coefficient. The advantage of the plate theory is that the displacement field of plate is approximated by only four variables leading to reduce computational efforts. Comparison studies are performed for the square FGPP with simply supported all edges to verify the accuracy of the present approach. The effect of the aspect ratio, volume fraction exponent, and elastic foundation parameters on the static deflections and natural frequency of FGPP are also investigated and discussed. Keywords: meshless method; Moving Kriging interpolation; refined quasi-3D theory; porous functionally\break graded plate; Pasternak foundation.
