The porous material is an emerging lightweight material, which is able to reduce structural weight and also keeps the superiority of the structure. Therefore, this work is devoted to the investigation of the functionally graded porous (FGP) annular and circular plates with general boundary conditions. The unified modeling method is proposed by combining the first-order shear deformation theory, the virtual spring technology, the multi-segment partition method, and the semi-analysis Rayleigh–Ritz approach. Afterwards, the convergency and correctness of the proposed method are verified, respectively. The frequency parameters, modal shapes, and forced vibration responses are uniformly calculated based on the proposed method. Finally, the dynamic analyses of the FGP annular and circular plates with different parameters, such as the porosity distribution types, porosity ratios, boundary condition types, geometry parameters, and load types, are conducted in detail. It is found that the reasonable porous design is able to keep the dynamic stability of the structure under different parameter variations.

The strong and weak formulations of a mixed layer-wise (LW) higher-order shear deformation theory (HSDT) are developed for the static analysis of functionally graded (FG) beams under various boundary conditions subjected to thermo-mechanical loads. The material properties of the FG beam are assumed to obey a power-law distribution of the volume fractions of the constituents through the thickness of the FG beam, for which the effective material properties are estimated using the rule of mixtures, or it is directly assumed that the effective material properties of the FG beam obey an exponential function distribution along the thickness direction of the FG beam. The results shown in the numerical examples indicate that the mixed LW HSDT solutions for elastic and thermal field variables are in excellent agreement with the accurate solutions available in the literature. A parametric study related to various effects on the coupled thermo-mechanical behavior of FG beams is carried out, including the aspect ratio, the material-property gradient index, and different boundary conditions.

Free vibration analysis of the porous functionally graded circular plates has been presented on the basis of classical plate theory. The three defined coupled equations of motion of the porous functionally graded circular/annular plate were decoupled to one differential equation of free transverse vibrations of plate. The one universal general solution was obtained as a linear combination of the multiparametric special functions for the functionally graded circular and annular plates with even and uneven porosity distributions. The multiparametric frequency equations of functionally graded porous circular plate with diverse boundary conditions were obtained in the exact closed-form. The influences of the even and uneven distributions of porosity, power-law index, diverse boundary conditions and the neglected effect of the coupling in-plane and transverse displacements on the dimensionless frequencies of the circular plate were comprehensively studied for the first time. The formulated boundary value problem, the exact method of solution and the numerical results for the perfect and imperfect functionally graded circular plates have not yet been reported.

Vibration Responses

Based on the Ritz method, this paper focused on the free vibration of functionally graded (FG) spherical torus with uniform variable thickness along axial direction under different boundary conditions. The first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) is employed to formulate the analytical model. The method involves partitioning of the spherical torus structure into proper shell segments in order to satisfy the computing requirement of high-order vibration responses according to the domain decomposition method. The two adjacent segments are connected by using the penalty method, where penalty parameters are defined by the artificial springs; the continuity condition and different boundary conditions can be obtained by assigning the appropriate values of springs. The displacement functions’ components are double mixed series, in which Fourier series and unified Jacobi polynomials, respectively, represent displacement function along circumferential direction and axial direction. Then the Ritz method is used to obtain final solutions. The numerical results obtained by the proposed method show great agreement with previously published literatures and those from the finite element program ABAQUS. The effects of boundary conditions and geometric parameters on the vibration responses of the structure are also presented. The most novelty of this paper is to generalize the selection of admissible displacement functions by using Jacobi polynomial.
