AbstractA simple, accurate, and unified formulation for the free vibration analysis of functionally graded (FG) plates is introduced. New four-variable first-order and higher-order shear deformation theories together with the classical FG plate theory can be easily achieved. The only assumption is that the transverse displacement consists of bending and shear components, and hence the theory has the potential to be used for modeling of the nonlinear FG plate problems. To validate the proposed formulation, the free vibration analysis of FG plates on two-parameter elastic foundation is conducted. The material properties vary continuously through the plate thickness. Analytical solutions for simply supported and approximate solutions for FG plates with arbitrary boundary conditions are extracted by extending the application of the conventional differential quadrature method as an accurate and efficient numerical tool. Comparison studies with existing two- and three-dimensional results available in open literature are performed. Excellent agreement between the results of the present formulation and the other theories is observed.

This article presents the free vibration analysis of simply supported plate FG porous using a high order shear deformation theory. In is work the material properties of the porous plate FG vary across the thickness. The proposed theory contains four unknowns unlike the other theories which contain five unknowns. This theory has a parabolic shear deformation distribution across the thickness. So it is useless to use the shear correction factors. The Hamilton's principle will be used herein to determine the equations of motion. Since, the plate are simply supported the Navier procedure will be retained. To show the precision of this model, several comparisons have been made between the present results and those of existing theories in the literature for non-porous plates. Effects of the exponent graded and porosity factors are investigated.

This paper describes a study of three-dimensional free vibration analysis of thick circular and annular functionally graded (FG) plates resting on Pasternak foundation. The formulation is based on the linear, small strain and exact elasticity theory. Plates with different boundary conditions are considered and the material properties of the FG plate are assumed to vary continuously through the thickness according to power law. The kinematic and the potential energy of the plate-foundation system are formulated and the polynomial-Ritz method is used to solve the eigenvalue problem. Convergence and comparison studies are done to demonstrate the correctness and accuracy of the present method. With respect to geometric parameters, elastic coefficients of foundation and different boundary conditions some new results are reported which maybe used as a benchmark solution for future researches.

The Core

Free vibration behavior of laminated soft core sandwich plates with stiff laminated face sheets is investigated using a new C0 finite element (FE) model based on higher order zigzag theory (HOZT) in this paper. The in-plane displacement variations are considered to be cubic for both the face sheets and the core, while the transverse displacement is assumed to vary quadratically within the core and remains constant in the faces beyond the core. The plate theory ensures a shear stress-free condition at the top and bottom surfaces of the plate. Thus, the plate theory has all of the features required for an accurate modeling of laminated sandwich plates. As very few elements based on this plate theory (HOZT) exist and they possess certain disadvantages, an attempt has been made to develop this new element. The nodal field variables are chosen in such a manner to overcome the problem of continuity requirement of the derivatives of transverse displacements, i.e., no need to impose any penalty stiffness in the formulation. A nine node C0 quadratic plate finite element is implemented to model the HOZT for the present analysis. A new C0 element has been utilized to study some interesting problems on free vibration analysis of laminated sandwich plates. Many new results are also presented which should be useful for future research.
