Disk Vibration Analysis of Functionally Graded Materials

Perforated discs have many applications in different parts of industry. By making such disks of functionally graded materials, more capabilities can be obtained from them. Vibration analysis of these kinds of disks can help us make them more efficient. In this paper, modeling and evaluation of disk vibration of functionally graded materials with regard to thickness were carried out using Abaqus software. Since no certain element has been defined regarding functionally graded materials for the design and analysis of a particular element in Abaqus software, molding of such materials has been used in this application. In order to verify the results, the results obtained from ABAQUS analysis have been compared with those available in the literature. The obtained results show that by defining more layers with regard to changes in properties, the obtained results approach the exact solutions.
