Peridynamic modelling of higher order functionally graded plates

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 expansion utilised to derive governing equations. The capability developed demonstrated by considering several benchmark problems. these cases simply supported, clamped mixed boundary conditions also tested. results verified their finite element analysis counterparts. According comparison, agree very well with each other.
