In the present paper, the buckling problem of rectangular functionally graded (FG) plate with arbitrary edge supports is investigated. The present analysis is based on the classical plate theory (CPT) and large deformation is assumed for deriving stability equations. The plate is subjected to bi-axial compression loading. Mechanical properties of FG plate are assumed to vary continuously along ...

In the present paper a method is proposed to investigate the free vibration of a partially liquid-filled cylindrical tank. The mechanical properties of the container are assumed to change continuously along the thickness according to volume fraction Power-law, Sigmoid or Exponential distribution. The liquid is supposed to be incompressible and in viscid and its velocity potential is formulated ...

In this paper, static and free vibrations behaviors of the orthotropic functionally graded material (FGM) plates resting on the two-parameter elastic foundation are analyzed by the a mesh-free method based on the first order shear deformation plate theory (FSDT). The mesh-free method is based on moving least squares (MLS) shape functions and essential boundary conditions are imposed by transfer...

In this study, a dynamic stiffness method for free vibration analysis of moderately thick function-ally graded material plates is developed. The elasticity modulus and mass density of the plate are assumed to vary according to a power-law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents whereas Poisson’s ratio is constant. Due to the variation of the elastic properties through ...

Abstract As a new type of material, functionally graded materials are widely used in industry, aerospace and other fields due to their special physical properties. Among them, there also many the thermal environment, existence environment will have great impact on stability moving object. Therefore, it is significance study axial motion temperature field. In this paper, taking axially plate as ...

Delamination fracture of a two-dimensional functionally graded multilayered four-point bending beam that exhibits non-linear behaviour of the material is analyzed. The fracture is studied analytically in terms of the strain energy release rate. The beam under consideration has an arbitrary number of layers. Each layer has individual thickness and material properties. A delamination crack is loc...

Thermal buckling behavior of functionally graded Euler-Bernoulli beams in thermal conditions is investigated analytically. The beam with material and thermal properties dependent on the temperature and position is considered. Based on the transformed-section method, the functionally graded beam is considered as an equivalent homogeneous Euler-Bernoulli beam with an effective bending rigidity un...

in this paper, finite element elastic contact analysis of a functionally graded (fg) hollow brake disk in contact with pad, subjected to rotation, contact pressure and frictional heat is presented. the material properties vary through the thickness according to a power-law characterised by a grading index, n. the material property is purely steel at the core part and gradually moves and approac...

Second-order shear deformation theory (SSDT) is employed to analyze vibration of temperature-dependent solar functionally graded plates (SFGP’s). Power law material properties and linear steady-state thermal loads are assumed to be graded along the thickness. Two different types of SFGP’s such as ZrO2/Ti-6Al-4V and Si3N4/SUS304 are considered. Uniform, linear, nonlinear, heat-flux and sinusoida...
