this paper deals with local buckling analysis of rectangular functionally graded material plates using finite strip method and based on classical plate theory. the modulus of elasticity of the plate is assumed to vary according to a power-law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. the principle of minimum total potential energy is employed to obtain stiffness and sta...

In this paper, the modified couple stress theory is used to study vibration analysis of functionally graded rectangular micro-plates. Considering classical and first order plate theories, the couple governing equations of motion are obtained by using the Hamilton’s principle. Considering an assumed mode method, the accurate size dependent natural frequencies are established for simply supported...

Safety analysis has been done for the torsion of a functionally graded thick-walled  circular cylinder under internal and external pressure subjected to thermal loading. In order to determine stresses the concept of Seth’s transition theory based on generalized principal strain measure has been used. This theory simplifies the set of mechanical equations by mentioning the order of the measure of...

Al/SiC functionally graded and metal-matrix composites were investigated through dynamic mechanical analyzer as a function of vibrating frequencies. It was found that internal frictions strongly dependent on material type frequency. Tan ? reached 30.4 × 10–3 21.2 10–3in FGM MMC, respectively, at frequency 1 Hz. The damping capacity decreased the increased to 10 Hz 30 Storage moduli 172 GPa 144 ...

functionally gradedpoisson’s ratio structures have been developed for critical protection. in thispaper, the static bending and buckling of fgpr nanoscale beam are studied basedon the nonlocal timoshenko beam model, in which both young’s modulus andpoisson’s ratio are assumed to vary continuously in the thickness direction. byutilizing total potential energy principle, equilibrium equations are...

this paper investigates the effect of different methods of carbon nanotubes distribution in a thin matrix on static and dynamic behavior of the nanocomposite. five different symmetric patterns of distribution are considered, including four parabolic patterns and a linear one. for each pattern, the effective mechanical properties of the resultant nanocomposite are calculated using the rule of mi...

free vibration of simply supported circular cylindrical shell made of functionally graded material (fgm) under internal pressure was investigated. the effective material properties are assumed to vary continuously along the thickness direction according to a volume fraction power law distribution. first order shear deformation theory based on love's first approximation theory was utilized in th...
