The paper aims to extend the ES-MITC3 element, which is an integration of edge-based smoothed finite element method (ES-FEM) with mixed interpolation tensorial components technique for three-node triangular (MITC3 element), buckling analysis FGM variable-thickness plates subjected mechanical loads. proposed performed eliminate shear locking phenomenon and enhance accuracy existing MITC3 element...

stress-intensity factors (sifs) are the most important parameters in fracture mechanics analysis of structures. these parameters are evaluated for a stationary crack in functionally graded plates of arbitrary geometry using a novel galerkin based mesh-free method. the method involves an element-free galerkin method (efgm), where the material properties are smooth functions of spatial coordinate...

This paper proposes the refined first order shear deformation theory to investigate the free vibration behavior of bidirectional functionally graded porous plates. This theory satisfies the transverse shear stress free conditions at the top and bottom of the plate, thus avoids the need of a shear correction factor. The rule of mixtures is employed to compute the effective material properties an...

The present article deals with static and dynamic behavior of functionally graded skew plates based on the three–dimensional theory of elasticity. On the basis of the principle of minimum potential energy and the Rayleigh Ritz method, the equations of motion are derived in conjunction with the graded finite element approach. Solution of the resulted system of equations in time domain is carried...

In this paper, a variation of Murakami’s Zig-Zag theory is proposed for the analysis of functionally graded plates. The new theory includes a hyperbolic sine term for the in-plane displacements expansion and accounts for through-the-thickness deformation, by considering a quadratic evolution of the transverse displacement with the thickness coordinate. The governing equations and the boundary c...

This study provides an approach to predict the springback phenomenon during post-solidification cooling in a functionally graded hybrid composite cylindrical shell with a transverse isotropic structure. Here, the material properties are given with a general parabolic power-law function. During the theoretical analysis, an appropriate transformation is introduced in the equilibrium equation, whi...
