This work investigates transient heat conduction in a functionally graded plate (FGM plate) subjected to gradual cooling/heating at its boundaries. The thermal properties of the FGM are assumed to be continuous and piecewise differentiable functions of the coordinate in the plate thickness direction. A linear ramp function describes the cooling/heating rates at the plate boundaries. A multi-lay...

this work presents free vibration analysis of laminated rectangular plates with classical boundary conditions based on the classical plate theory (cpt). the first involves an s-fgm plate with different boundary conditions. then involves a two-layer plate in which an s-fgm layer is coated on a homogeneous substrate with classical boundary conditions, simply called an s-fgm-coated plate; the othe...

The functionally graded materials (FGM) have many advantages especially in thermal environments, and in the recent years they have been used in many engineering applications. A FGM plate is an inhomogeneous composite made of two constituents (usually ceramic and metal), with both the composition and the material properties varying smoothly through the thickness of the plate. The FGM plate vibra...

in this paper a mesh-free model of the functionally graded material (fgm) plate is presented.  the piezoelectric material as a sensor and actuator has been distributed on the top and bottom of the plate, respectively. the formulation of the problem is based on the classical laminated plate theory (clpt) and the principle of virtual displacements. moreover, the particle swarm optimization (pso) ...

In this paper, static analysis of two dimensional functionally graded plates based on three dimensional theory of elasticity is investigated. Graded finite element method has been used to solve the problem. The effects of power law exponents on static behavior of a fully clamped 2D-FGM plate have been investigated. The model has been compared with result of a 1D-FGM plate for different boundary...

In this article, vibration characteristics and the parametric instability of functionally graded material (FGM) plates with cyclic loading in a hygrothermal field are discussed. The plate element is modeled in a finite element by applying the third-order shear deformation hypothesis. The mathematical formulation of the FGM plate is made with two material constituents by applying the power rule ...

In the present investigation, free vibration of functionally graded material (FGM) skew plates under thermal environment is studied. Kinematics equations are based on the Reddy’s higher order shear deformation theory and a nine noded isoparametric Lagrangian element is adopted to mesh the plate geometry. The issue of C1 continuity requirement related to the assumed displacement field has been c...

This paper deals with the thermo-mechanical deformation behavior of shear deformable functionally graded ceramicmetal (FGM) plates. Theoretical formulations are based on higher order shear deformation theory with a considerable amendment in the transverse displacement using finite element method (FEM). The mechanical properties of the plate are assumed to be temperaturedependent and graded in t...
