In this paper, the wave propagation approach is presented to analyze the vibration and wave power reflection in FG rectangular plates based on the first order shear deformation plate theory. The wave propagation is one of the useful methods for analyzing the vibration of structures. This method gives the reflection and propagation matrices that are valuable for the analysis of mechanical energy...

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...

A new elegant, powerful and accurate superposition method is presented for isotropic/specially orthotropic rectangular plates with arbitrary transverse load and arbitrary combination of free/simply-supported/clamped/guided/elastically supported edges. All the component solutions used here are infinite series equivalents of the complicated closed-form Levy-type solutions employed in the conventi...

This paper presents the governing equations and analytical solutions of classical shear deformation theories functionally graded axisymmetric circular plates. The classical, first-order, third-order are presented, accounting for through-thickness variation two-constituent material, modified couple stress effect, von Kármán nonlinearity. Analytical bending linear theories, some which not readily...
