In this paper, the nonlinear vibrations analysis of functionally graded (FG) rectangular plate in contact with fluid are investigated analytically using first order shear deformation theory (FSDT). The pressure exerted on the free surface of the plate by the fluid is calculated using the velocity potential function and the Bernoulli equation. With the aid of von Karman nonlinearity strain-displ...

In this paper, static analysis of functionally graded annular plate resting on elastic foundation with various boundary conditions is carried out by using a semi-‍analytical approach‍ (SSM‍-DQM). The differential governing equations are presented based on the three dimensional theory of elasticity. The plate is assumed isotropic at any point, while material properties to vary exponentially thro...

This paper presents a clear monograph on the optimization of thermal instability resistance of the FG (functionally graded) flat structures. For this aim, two FG flat structures, namely an FG beam and an FG circular plate, are considered. These structures are assumed to obey the first-order shear deformation theory, three-parameters power-law distribution of the constituents, and clamped bounda...

• Laser-powder bed fusion (L-PBF) fabrication of functionally graded nickel-titanium (NiTi)-AISI 316L material demonstrated. Excellent bonding between NiTi and AISI alloys controlled via complex bands multi-material layers. Phase microstructural evolution through the L-PBF settings. Multi-material phase microstructure formation/evolution mechanisms elucidated. This study evaluates additively ma...

In this research, mechanical buckling of rectangular plates of functionally graded materials (FGMs) is considered. Equilibrium and stability equations of a FGM rectangular plate under uniform in-plane compression are derived. For isotropic materials, convergent buckling loads have been presented for non-uniformly compressed rectangular plates based on a rigorous superposition fourier solution f...
