In this paper, the geometrically nonlinear formulation based on von Karman’s assumptions is employed to study the large amplitude free vibrations of functionally graded materials sandwich plates. The functionally graded material sandwich plate is made up of two layers of power-law functionally graded material face sheet and one layer of ceramic homogeneous core. A hierarchical finite element is employed to define the model, taking into account the effects of the transverse shear deformation and the rotatory inertia. The equations of motion for the nonlinear vibration of the functionally graded material sandwich plates are obtained using Lagrange’s equations. Employing the harmonic balance method, the equations of motion are converted from time domain to frequency domain and then solved iteratively using the linearized updated mode method. Results for linear and nonlinear frequency parameters of the simply supported functionally graded material sandwich plates are computed and compared with the published values, and an excellent agreement was found. The influence of the mechanical properties of the functionally graded material, thickness ratio of FGM layers, and volume fraction exponent on the backbone curves and on the nonlinear frequency parameters are investigated. The effects of the material properties of two different types of ceramics on the large amplitude vibration behaviors of the functionally graded material sandwich plates is also presented and discussed for the first time.

This paper investigates the dynamics of functionally graded material (FGM) plates under dynamic liquid load and with longitudinal speed. The liquid is assumed to be ideal so that it is incompressible, inviscid and irrotational. Based on the D’Alembert’s principle, the mathematical model of the system is developed by taking into account geometrical and material nonlinearities as well as velocity potential and Bernoulli’s equation. The Galerkin method is employed to discretize the partial differential governing equation to a series of ordinary differential ones, which are then analyzed via the use of the method of harmonic balance. Analytical results are compared with numerical ones to validate the present method. The stability of the steady-state response is examined by means of the perturbation technique. Linear analysis of the system shows the possible appearance of internal resonance, and nonlinear frequency-response curves demonstrate strong hardening-spring property of the system. A modal interaction behavior through 1:1 internal resonance is detected; the behavior can happen in a wide domain of constituent volume fraction, which is a unique phenomenon in moving FGM plates compared with their metallic counterparts. Furthermore, results show the modal interaction can be easily evoked in the moving FGM plate under dynamic liquid load, even while the plate is subjected to minimal exciting force or large damping. In addition, influence of the plate location on nonlinear dynamics of the system is examined; results show the dynamic response of the plate will change considerably when the plate is near the container wall.

This work presents an investigation on the flexural and vibration behavior of imperfection sensitive higher order functionally graded material skew sandwich plates in thermal environment. Material properties have been assumed to be temperature dependent and graded in transverse direction following the power law distribution. Reddy’s higher order shear deformation theory has been used to model displacement field kinematics of skew sandwich plate. Variational principle has been used for deriving the governing equations. Finite element methodology has been adopted to discretize plate domain. Convergence and comparison studies have been performed to demonstrate the reliability of present formulation. Effect of various system parameters such as thickness ratio, volume fraction index, skew angle, imperfection parameter, and boundary conditions on the flexural and vibration response have been investigated.

The present study is concerned with the free vibration and buckling analysis of a skew sandwich plate with a viscoelastic material core fixed between a functionally graded material constraining layer and a base layer of elastic material. The sandwich plate theory is followed to obtain the governing equations of motion in which the displacement fields of the viscoelastic core are assumed to have a linear variation between those of the two face layers. Finite element method based on first-order shear deformation theory is used to develop the governing equations of motion of the plate. The effects of different parameters such as skew angle, aspect ratio, thickness ratio, and volume fraction index on static and dynamic characteristics of the plate are examined. The increase in the skew angle has increasing effect on both natural the frequencies and critical buckling loads, whereas the fundamental loss factor decreases. The volume fraction index and various boundary conditions also have significant effects on the static and dynamic behavior of the plate.

In this work, an implicit algorithm is used for analyzing the free dynamic behavior of Functionally Graded Material (FGM) plates. The Third order Shear Deformation Theory (TSDT) is used to develop the proposed model. In this contribution, the formulation is written without any homogenization technique as the rule of mixture. The Hamilton principle is used to establish the resulting equations of motion. For spatial discretization based on Finite Element Method (FEM), a quadratic element with four and eight nodes is adopted using seven degrees of freedom per node. An implicit algorithm is used for solving the obtained problem. To study the accuracy and the performance of the proposed approach, we present comparisons with literature and laminate composite modeling results for vibration natural frequencies. Otherwise, we examine the influence of the exponent of the volume fraction which reacts the plates "P-FGM" and "S-FGM". In addition, we study the influence of the thickness on "E-FGM" plates.

Vertical Gravity

In this study, glass-filled epoxy functionally graded material (FGM) was prepared by adopting the hand lay-up method. The vertical gravity casting was used to produce a continuous variation in elastic properties. A 30 % volume fraction of glass ingredients that have mean diameter 90 μm was spread in epoxy resin (ρ = 1050 kg/m3). The mechanical properties of FGM were evaluated according to ASTM D638. Experimental results showed that a gradually relationship between Young’s modulus and volume fraction of glass particles, where the value of Young’s modulus at high concentration of glass particles was greater than that at low concentration, while the value of Poisson’s ratio at high concentration of glass particles was lower than that at low concentration. The manufacture of this FG beam is particularly important and useful in order to benefit from it in the field of various fracture tests under dynamic or cyclic loads.
