As a first endeavor, the out-of-plane free vibration analysis of thin-to-moderately thick functionally graded (FG) circular curved beams supported on two-parameter elastic foundation is presented. The formulation is derived based on the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT), which includes the effects of shear deformation and rotary inertia due to both torsional and flexural vibrations. The material properties are assumed to be graded in the direction normal to the plane of the beam curvature. The differential quadrature method (DQM), as an efficient and accurate method, is employed to discretize the equations of motion and the related boundary conditions. In order to assure the accuracy of the formulation and the method of solution, convergence behavior of the nondimensional natural frequencies is examined for FG circular curved beams and comparison studies with those of isotropic curved beams, available in the literature, are performed. The effects of the elastic foundation coefficients, boundary conditions, the material graded index and different geometrical parameters on the natural frequency parameters of the FG circular curved beams are investigated. The new results can be used as benchmark solutions for future research works.

In the present study, a 5th order shear deformation theory (5th OSDT) is presented for free vibration analysis of simply supported thick isotropic plates. Governing equations and boundary conditions are evaluated using the concept of virtual work. Numerical results for free vibration analysis include the effects of side to thickness and plate aspect ratios for simply supported thick isotropic plates. Non-dimensional bending mode frequencies, non-dimensional thickness shear mode frequencies and non-dimensional thickness stretch mode frequencies are obtained. Closed form analytical solutions for simply supported isotropic thick plates subjected to single sinusoidal distributed loads are obtained for comparison purpose. The problems considered in this study are solved using MATLAB software. Non-dimensional bending frequencies and non-dimensional thickness shear mode frequencies obtained through the 5th OSDT match well with the exact analytical and exponential shear deformation theory (ESDT) results. Further, the non-dimensional thickness stretch mode frequencies are found to be imaginary.
