Characteristic Analysis

Functionally graded materials (FGMs) structures are increasingly used in engineering due to their superior mechanical and material properties, and the FGMs plate with cutouts is a common structural form, but research on the vibration characteristics of FGMs plate with cutouts is relatively limited. In this paper, the three-dimensional exact solution for the vibration analysis of FGMs rectangular plate with circular cutouts subjected to general boundary conditions is presented based on the three-dimensional elasticity theory. The displacement field functions are expressed as standard cosine Fourier series plus auxiliary cosine series terms satisfying the boundary conditions in the global coordinate system. The plate with circular cutout is discretized into four curve quadrilateral sub-domains using the p-version method, and then the blending function method is applied to map the closed quadrilateral region to the computational space. The characteristic equation is obtained based on the Lagrangian energy principle and Rayleigh–Ritz method. The efficiency and reliability of proposed method are verified by comparing the present results with those available in the literature and FEM methods. Finally, a parametric study is investigated including the cutout sizes, the cutout positions, and the cutout numbers from the free vibration characteristic analysis and the harmonic analysis. The results can serve as benchmark data for other research on the vibration of FGMs plates with cutouts.

General Boundary Conditions

The free vibration analysis of the functionally graded (FG) double curved shallow shell structures with general boundary conditions is investigated by an improved Fourier series method (IFSM). The material properties of FG structures are assumed to vary continuously in the thickness direction, according to the four graded parameters of the volume distribution function. Under the current framework, the displacement and rotation functions are set to a spectral form, including a double Fourier cosine series and two supplementary functions. These supplements can effectively eliminate the discontinuity and jumping phenomena of the displacement function along the edges. The formulation is based on the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) and Rayleigh-Ritz technique. This method can be universally applied to the free vibration analysis of the shallow shell, because it only needs to change the relevant parameters instead of modifying the basic functions or adapting solution procedures. The proposed method shows excellent convergence and accuracy, which has been compared with the results of the existing literatures. Numerous new results for free vibration analysis of FG shallow shells with various boundary conditions, geometric parameter, material parameters, gradient parameters, and volume distribution functions are investigated, which may serve as the benchmark solution for future researches.
