In the present research, a unified formulation for free vibration analysis of the bidirectional functionally graded conical and cylindrical shells and annular plates on elastic foundations is developed. To cover more individual cases and optimally tailored material properties, the material properties are assumed to vary in both the meridian/radial and transverse directions. The shell/plate is a...

the available shear correction factors have mainly been developed for homogeneous isotropic plates and/or assuming that no shear tractions are imposed on the top and bottom surfaces of the plate. in the present research, a more general case of a circular functionally graded plate subjected to non-uniform normal and shear tractions at the top and bottom surfaces is considered. these non-uniform ...

Abstract Flexural elastic waves and sound in solids are of great interest wide-ranging contexts such as ultrasound plates, geophysics, ocean engineering, aerospace automotive structures, musical acoustics. Despite bending being the most important for surface their propagation presence inevitable non-uniformity is poorly understood. Here we show branching focusing behaviour highly dispersive fle...

The new version of differential quadrature (DQ) method is extended to analyze the free vibration of thin sector orthotropic plates on the Pasternak elastic foundation with various sector angles and elastic parameters. Detailed formulations are given. Comparisons are made with existing analytical and/or numerical data. Numerical results indicate that convergence can be achieved with increasing i...

Based on the differential transformation method, a semi-analytical solution is developed for free vibration and modal stress analyses of variable thickness two-directional functionally graded circular plates with restrained edges, resting on elastic foundations. Variations of the material and geometry parameters are monitored by five distinct exponential functions. The presented non-dimensional...

On the basis of the elastic mechanics theories, heat transfer theories, and CAE, the non-uniform temperature distribution was studied, Mises stress and deformation distribution of 3D twin-spirals scroll plates was presented. The Mises stress and deformation of scroll plates induced by non-uniform temperature field and gas pressure was investigated. Orbiting and fixed scrolls were engaged with e...

The Galerkin method is applied to analyze the elastic large deflection behavior of metal plates subject to a combination of in-plane loads such as biaxial loads, edge shear and biaxial inplane bending moments, and uniformly or nonuniformly distributed lateral pressure loads. The motive of the present study was initiated by the fact that metal plates of ships and ship-shaped offshore structures ...

The buckling behavior of functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced composite (FG-CNTRC) plates resting on Winkler-Pasternak elastic foundations under in-plane loads for various temperatures is investigated using element-free Galerkin (EFG) method based on first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT). The modified shear correction factor is used based on energy equivalence principle. Carbon ...
