In the present study, the static and free vibration analysis of functionally graded carbon nano-tubes reinforced (FG-CNTR) sandwich plates are studied in the framework of inverse hyperbolic shear deformation theory. The governing differential equations are derived using Hamilton’s principle and solved with the Navier’s solution technique. The analytical approach is used to obtain the deflections, stresses, natural frequencies, and corresponding mode shapes of FG-CNTR sandwich plates with different material properties, stacking sequences, span thickness ratios, core to face sheet thickness ratios, and loading conditions. Different types of reinforcement distribution such as uniformly distribution (UD) and functionally graded (FG) distribution of FG-O, FG-X, FG-/\, and FG-V are considered for the analysis. Also, the efforts are made to achieve the best possible arrangement for the stacking sequences and the appropriate reinforcement distribution that will produce improved static and free vibration responses for the FG-CNTR sandwich plates.

In the present study, a 5th order shear deformation theory (5th OSDT) is presented for free vibration analysis of simply supported thick isotropic plates. Governing equations and boundary conditions are evaluated using the concept of virtual work. Numerical results for free vibration analysis include the effects of side to thickness and plate aspect ratios for simply supported thick isotropic plates. Non-dimensional bending mode frequencies, non-dimensional thickness shear mode frequencies and non-dimensional thickness stretch mode frequencies are obtained. Closed form analytical solutions for simply supported isotropic thick plates subjected to single sinusoidal distributed loads are obtained for comparison purpose. The problems considered in this study are solved using MATLAB software. Non-dimensional bending frequencies and non-dimensional thickness shear mode frequencies obtained through the 5th OSDT match well with the exact analytical and exponential shear deformation theory (ESDT) results. Further, the non-dimensional thickness stretch mode frequencies are found to be imaginary.
