In this study, the variational method and numerical simulation technique were used to solve problem of bimodular functionally graded thin plates under large deformation. During application method, functional was established on elastic strain energy plate while variation in realized by changing undetermined coefficients functional. As a result, classical Ritz adopted obtain important relationshi...

The available shear correction factors have mainly been developed for homogeneous isotropic plates and/or assuming that no shear tractions are imposed on the top and bottom surfaces of the plate. In the present research, a more general case of a circular functionally graded plate subjected to non-uniform normal and shear tractions at the top and bottom surfaces is considered. These non-uniform ...

Abstract This research investigates the effects of cut-out on dynamic behaviour functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced composite (FGCNTRC) plates. Finite element method (FEM) is utilized and SHELL181 type ANSYS Workbench 17.2 program utilized. To understand vibration characteristics FG plates, various shapes cut-outs such as triangular, square, rectangular, hexagonal, circular etc are c...

A new analytical approach for nonlinear thermal buckling of Functionally Graded Graphene Platelet Reinforced Composite (FG-GPLRC) circular plates and shallow spherical caps using the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) is presented in this paper. The are assumed to be subjected uniformly distributed loads. By applying Galerkin method, relations between load–deflection achieved determine...

This paper deals with the nonlinear free vibration of thick annular functionally graded material plates. The thickness is assumed to be constant. 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 formulations are based on the first-order shear deformation plate theory and...

With the development of advanced manufacturing technologies, importance functionally graded materials is growing as they are advantageous over widely used traditional composites. In this paper, we present a novel peridynamic model for higher order functional plates various thicknesses. Moreover, formulation eliminates usage shear correction factors. Euler–Lagrange equations and Taylor’s expansi...
