Free vibration analysis of non-symmetric FGM sandwich square plate resting on elastic foundations

Abstract

Abstract. In this study, free vibration analysis of simply supported sandwich plate resting on elastic foundation is examined. In this model, the displacements vary as a sinusoidal function across the plate thickness and satisfy zero shear stress condition at the top and bottom surfaces of the plate. The governing equations are derived by employing the principle of Hamilton, These equations are solved via Navier type and the dynamic results are presented by solving eigenvalue problems. The numerical results obtained through the present analysis for free vibration are presented and compared with those available in the literature.

On buckling and free vibration studies of sandwich plates and cylindrical shells: A review

“…Here the displacements vary as a sinusoidal function across the plate thickness. 235 Free vibration analysis of sandwich plates with non-monotonically graded flexible core is studied using a high-order sandwich panel theory. 236 Local and global damped vibrations of thin and thick FRP plates with a VEL soft flexible core show an improved higher order approach.…”
