Static and dynamic deformations of thick functionally graded elastic plates by using higher-order shear and normal deformable plate theory and meshless local Petrov–Galerkin method
نویسندگان
چکیده
Static deformations, and free and forced vibrations of a thick rectangular functionally graded elastic plate are analyzed by using a higherorder shear and normal deformable plate theory (HOSNDPT) and a meshless local Petrov–Galerkin (MLPG) method. All components of the stress tensor are computed from equations of the plate theory. The plate material, made of two isotropic constituents, is assumed to be macroscopically isotropic with material properties varying in the thickness direction only. Effective material moduli are computed by using the Mori–Tanaka homogenization technique. Computed results for static and free vibration problems are found to agree well with their analytical solutions. The response of the plate to impulse loads is also computed for different volume fractions of the two constituents. Contributions of the work include the use of the HOSNDPT and the MLPG method for the analysis of functionally graded plates. q 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Three dimensional static and dynamic analysis of thick plates by the meshless local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method under different loading conditions
In this paper, three dimensional (3D) static and dynamic analysis of thick plates based on the Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) is presented. Using the kinematics of a three-dimensional continuum, the local weak form of the equilibrium equations is derived. A weak formulation for the set of governing equations is transformed into local integral equations on local sub-domains by using a uni...
متن کاملElastostatic Deformations of a Thick Plate by using a Higher-Order Shear and Normal Deformable Plate Theory and two Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) Methods
We use two meshless local Petrov-Galerkin formulations, namely, the MLPG1 and the MLPG5, to analyze infinitesimal deformations of a homogeneous and isotropic thick elastic plate with a higher-order shear and normal deformable plate theory. It is found that the two MLPG formulations give results very close to those obtained by other researchers and also by the threedimensional analysis of the pr...

Infinitesimal deformations of a homogeneous and isotropic thick elastic plate have been analyzed by using a meshless local Petrov– Galerkin (MLPG) method and a higher-order shear and normal deformable plate theory (HONSDPT). Radial basis functions (RBF) are employed for constructing trial solutions, while a spline function is used as the weight function over a local subdomain. The present metho...
