In the present study, the classical plate theory (CPT) was used to study sound radiation of forced vibrating thin circular plates coupled with piezoelectric layers using simply supported and clamped boundary conditions. The novelty of the study consists of an exact closed-form solution that was developed without any use of approximation. Piezoelectric, electrical potential loaded in the transve...

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 ...

background: titanium (ti) implants are commonly coated with hydroxyapatite (ha). however, ha has some disadvantages such as brittleness, low tensile strength and fracture toughness. it is desirable to combine the excellent mechanical properties of zro2 and the chemical inertness of al2o3 with respect to the purpose of this project which was coating ti implants with ha-zro2-al2o3 to modify the s...

In the present paper, the buckling problem of rectangular functionally graded (FG) plate with arbitrary edge supports is investigated. The present analysis is based on the classical plate theory (CPT) and large deformation is assumed for deriving stability equations. The plate is subjected to bi-axial compression loading. Mechanical properties of FG plate are assumed to vary continuously along ...

This research deals with free vibration and static bending of a simply supported functionally graded (FG) plate with the porosity effect. Material properties of the plate which are related to its change are position-dependent. Governing equations of the FG plate are obtained by using the Hamilton’s principle within first-order shear deformation plate theory. In solving the problem, the Navier s...

Thermal buckling response of functionally graded plates is presented in this paper using sinusoidal shear deformation plate theory (SPT). The material properties of the plate are assumed to vary according to a power law form in the thickness direction. Equilibrium and stability equations are derived based on the SPT. The non-linear governing equations are solved for plates subjected to simply s...
