Effects of Geometric Nonlinearity on Stress Analysis in Large Amplitude Vibration of thin Circular Functionally Graded Plates With Rigid Core

Abstract  In this paper , the nonlinear the nonlinear free and forced axisymmetric vibration of a thin circular functionally graded plate with rigid core is formulated in terms of von-Karman’s dynamic equation , and a semi-analytical approach is developed.Functionally graded material (FGM) properties vary through the thickness of the plate.FGM s are spatial composites within which material prop...

Natural frequencies of functionally graded plates by a meshless method

We use the global collocation method, the first and the third-order shear deformation plate theories, the Mori–Tanaka technique to homogenize material properties, and approximate the trial solution with multiquadric radial basis functions to analyze free vibrations of functionally graded plates. Frequencies computed by the present method are found to agree well with those from the analytical so...

Thermal Stability of Thin Rectangular Plates with Variable Thickness Made of Functionally Graded Materials

In this research, thermal buckling of thin rectangular plate made of Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) with linear varying thickness is considered. Material properties 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 supporting condition of all edges of such a plate is simply supported. ...
