In this paper, the nonlinear cylindrical bending of a functionally graded plate is studied. The material properties of the plate are assumed to be graded continuously in the direction of thickness. The variation of the material properties follows a simple power-law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of constituents. The von Karman strains are used to construct the nonlinear equilibrium equations of the plates subjected to in-plane and transverse loadings. The governing equations are reduced to linear differential equation with nonlinear boundary conditions yielding a simple solution procedure. The results show that the functionally graded plates exhibit different behavior from plates made of pure materials in cylindrical bending. Also, it is shown that the linear plate theory is inadequate for analysis of FG plate even in the small deflection range.

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.

Thermal buckling analysis of rectangular functionally graded plates with initial geometric imperfections is presented in this paper. It is assumed that the non-homogeneous mechanical properties vary linearly through the thickness of the plate. The plate is assumed to be under various types of thermal loadings, such as the uniform temperature rise and nonlinear temperature gradient through the thickness. A double-sine function for the geometric imperfection along the x and y-directions is considered. The equilibrium equations are derived using the third order shear deformation plate theory. Using a suitable method, equilibrium equations are reduced from 5 to 2 equations. The corresponding stability equations are established. Using these equations accompanied by the compatibility equation yield to the buckling loads in a closed form solution for each loading case. The results are compared with the known data in the literature.

The nonlinear random vibration of functionally graded plates under random excitation is presented. Material properties are assumed to be independent of temperature. The plates are assumed to have isotropic, two-constituent material distribution through the thickness. The modulus of elasticity, thermal expansion coefficient and density vary according to a power-law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. The Classical Plate Theory (CPT) is employed for analytical formulations. Geometric nonlinearity due to in-plane stretching and von Karman type is considered. A Monte Carlo simulation of stationary random processes, multi-mode Galerkin-like approach, and numerical integration procedures are used to develop linear and nonlinear response solutions of clamped functionally graded plates. Uniform temperature distributions through the plate are assumed. Numerical results include time domain response histories, root mean square (RMS) values and response spectral densities. Effects of material composition and temperature rise are also investigated.

A thermomechanical bending analysis for a simply supported, rectangular, functionally graded material sandwich plate subjected to a transverse mechanical load and a through-the-thickness thermal load is presented using the refined sinusoidal shear deformation plate theory. The present shear deformation theory includes the effect of both shear and normal deformations and it is simplified by enforcing traction-free boundary conditions at the plate faces. Material properties and thermal expansion coefficient of the sandwich plate faces are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction according to a simple power-law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. The core layer is still homogeneous and made of an isotropic material. The equilibrium equations of different sandwich plates are given based on various plate theories. A number of examples are solved to illustrate the numerical results concern thermo-mechanical bending response of functionally graded rectangular sandwich plates. The influences played by transversal shear and normal deformations, plate aspect ratio, side-to-thickness ratio, volume fraction distributions, and thermal and mechanical loads are investigated.

This paper deals with thermomechanical bending of functionally graded material (FGM) plates under various boundary conditions and resting on two-layer elastic foundations. One of these layers is Winkler springs with a variable modulus while the other is considered as a shear layer with a constant modulus. The plates are considered of the type having two opposite sides simply-supported, and the two other sides having combinations of simply-supported, clamped, and free boundary conditions. The temperature is obtained by solving the one-dimensional equation of heat conduction. The material properties of the plate are assumed to be graded continuously across the panel thickness. A simple power-law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents is used for estimating the effective material properties such as temperature-dependent thermoelastic properties. The governing equations are derived based on the sinusoidal shear deformation plate theory including the external load and thermal effects. The results of this theory are compared with those of other shear deformation theories. Various numerical results including the effect of boundary conditions, power-law index, plate aspect ratio, temperature difference, elastic foundation parameters, and side-to-thickness ratio on the bending of FGM plates are presented.

Graded Materials

Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are a new kind of composite materials which have a smooth variation of material properties along one or more directions. At each interface, the material is chosen according to specific applications and environment loadings. This paper presents some solutions to study the free vibration of FGM plates made of ceramic and metal. The formulation used is based on Reddys higher order shear deformation plate theory. Material properties are taken to be temperature-dependent, and vary continuously through the thickness direction according to a power law distribution (P-FGM). The plate is assumed to be initially stressed by temperature rise through the thickness. The energy functional of the system is obtained by using energy principles. Free vibration frequencies are then obtained by using a set of characteristic orthogonal polynomials and by applying Ritz method.

Large deflection analysis of thin and relatively thick rectangular functionally graded plates is studied in this paper. It is assumed that the mechanical properties of the plate, graded through the thickness, are described by a simple power law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of constituents. The plate is assumed to be under lateral pressure load. The fundamental equations for rectangular plates of FGM are obtained using the classical laminated plate theory (CLPT), first order shear deformation theory (FSDT) and higher order shear deformation theory (HSDT) for large deflection and the solution is obtained by minimization of the total potential energy.

AbstractThis paper deals with the static response of simply supported functionally graded material (FGM) viscoelastic sandwich plates subjected to transverse uniform loads. The FG sandwich plates are considered to be resting on Pasternak's elastic foundations. The sandwich plate is assumed to consist of a fully elastic core sandwiched by elastic-viscoelastic FGM layers. Material properties are graded according to a power-law variation from the interfaces to the faces of the plate. The equilibrium equations of the FG sandwich plate are given based on a trigonometric shear deformation plate theory. Using Illyushin's method, the governing equations of the viscoelastic sandwich plate can be solved. Parametric study on the bending analysis of FG sandwich plates is being investigated. These parameters include (i) power-law index, (ii) plate aspect ratio, (iii) side-to-thickness ratio, (iv) loading type, (v) foundation stiffnesses, and (vi) time parameter.
