Euler, Timoshenko and high shear deformation theories to analyze the free vibration of functionally graded (FG) beam were developed. The mechanical properties this assumed differ in thickness direction according model a power-law distribution. principle Hamilton was used find equations motion. For vibration, analytical solution these presented using Navier method. effect power index, aspect rat...

In this article, an exact analytical solution for thermal buckling analysis of thin functionallygraded (FG) rectangular plates is presented. Based on the classical plate theory and using the principle ofminimum total potential energy, the stability equations are obtained. Since the material properties in FGmaterials are functions of the coordinates (specially the thickness), the stability equat...

The effect of a distributed patch mass on the natural frequency of vibration of a laminated rectangular plate with simply supported boundaries is investigated. The third order displacement field of a composite laminated rectangular plate is defined using the two variable refined plate theory. Equations of motion of the plate are obtained with the help of calculus of variation. Parametric study ...
