This paper presents a thermoelastic bending analysis of functionally graded sandwich plates by using a new quasi-3D hybrid type higher order shear deformation theory (HSDT). The mathematical model contains only 5 unknowns as the first order shear deformation theory (FSDT). The nonlinear term of the temperature field is modeled in such way that can be different from the shape functions of the di...

The present study investigates the buckling of a thick sandwich plate under the biaxial non-uniform compression using the modified couple stress theory with various boundary conditions. For this purpose, the top and bottom faces are orthotropic graphene sheets and for the central core the isotropic soft materials are investigated. The simplified first order shear deformation theory (S-FSDT) is ...

In this paper, thermo-elastic analysis of a rotating thick truncated conical shell subjected to the temperature gradient, internal pressure and external pressure is presented. Given the existence of shear stress in the conical shell due to thickness change along the axial direction, the governing equations are obtained based on first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT). These equations are so...

In the present work, a study of thermoelastic analysis of a rotating thick truncated conical shell subjected to the temperature gradient and non-uniform internal pressure is carried out. The formulation is based on first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT), which accounts for the transverse shear. The governing equations, derived using minimum total potential energy principle, are solved, usi...

Nonlinear plate bending within Mindlin's strain gradient elasticity theory (SGT) is investigated by employing somewhat non-standard finite element methods. The main goal to compare the results provided geometrically nonlinear three-dimensional (3D) and Reissner–Mindlin theory, i.e., first-order shear deformation (FSDT), SGT. For 3D Green–Lagrange relations are adopted, while von Kármán strains ...

In this study, based on nonlocal differential constitutive relations of Eringen, the first order shear deformation theory of plates (FSDT) is reformulated for vibration of nano-plates considering the initial geometric imperfection. The dynamic analog of the von Kármán nonlinear strain-displacement relations is used to derive equations of motion for the nano-plate. When dealing with nonlineariti...

This article presents the derivation of elastic buckling equations and boundary conditions shear-deformable plates in frame extended Kantorovich method (EKM). Surveying literature shows that those stability are often obtained using a wrong by confusing them with linear equilibrium condition. work aims at providing correct is built on Buckling derived for three different plate theories, namely, ...

Thermo elastic analysis of a functionally graded cylinder under mechanical and thermal loads is investigated analytically in the present paper. The first order shear deformation theory (FSDT) is employed for analysis of the problem. FSDT recognizes two components for definition of the deformation. Displacement of the mid-plane and rotation about that are two components of deformation. The modul...

Recent works done by nano-engineers and nano-sciences about mechanical behavior of nano-plates including bending, buckling and vibration response were reviewed. The authors used non-classical elasticity theories to explain these behaviors of plate structures. Some of them employed Hamilton’s principle along with stain gradient theory, nonlocal theory, surface theory and couple stress theory to ...

In this study, nonlinear bending of solid and annular functionally graded (FG) sector plates subjected to transverse mechanical loading and thermal gradient along the thickness direction is investigated. Material properties are varied continuously along the plate thickness according to power-law distribution of the volume fraction of the constituents. According to von-Karman relation for large ...
