Nonlinear Free and Forced Vibrations of In-Plane Bi-Directional Functionally Graded Rectangular Plate with Temperature-Dependent Properties

Abstract

In this paper, the nonlinear free and forced vibrations analysis of in-plane bi-directional functionally graded (IBFG) rectangular plate with temperature-dependent properties is studied for the first time. For this purpose, with the aid of von Karman nonlinearity strain–displacement relations, the partial differential equations of motion are developed based on the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT). Then, the nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed into the time-dependent nonlinear ordinary differential equations by applying the Galerkin method. The primary and super harmonic resonances are analyzed by the method of multiple scales (MMS). The material properties are assumed to be temperature-dependent and graded in the thickness direction according to the power-law distribution. The effects of some system parameters, such as vibration amplitude, volume fraction indexes, length-to-thickness ratio, temperature and aspect ratio on the nonlinear frequency and also frequency responses curve, are discussed in detail. To validate the analysis, the results of this paper are compared with the published data and good agreements are found.

Experimental investigation of mechanical properties of Kevlar fiber composite sandwich panel with truss core reinforced bynano‐SiO2

“…The movable head of the machine applies pressure on the top of the sandwich panel until the failure of the core occurs. [ 45 ] Figure 5 shows a flatwise compression test setup for foamless and foam‐filled sandwich panels.…”

Experimental and numerical investigation of high‐velocity impact effects on composite sandwich panel with M‐shaped core reinforced by nano‐SiO2

“…Sandwich panels are widely used in various applications, including transportation, automotive, ship industries, civil infrastructures, wind turbine blades, owing to their extraordinary mechanical properties and multifunctional design ability. A typical sandwich panel is often manufactured by bonding two thin, stiff, and robust plates [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] to both sides of a thick lightweight core. Skins are frequently made of metal alloys and fiber-reinforced polymers (e.g., CFRP [carbon fiber reinforced polymer] and GFRP [glass fiber reinforced polymer]) to bear flexural and compressive loads.…”

An experimental and numerical study on the vibration characteristics of glass fiber composite sandwich panel with lattice cores

“…Correspondingly, large quantities of research have been performed on the vibration and dynamic behavior of continuous structures such as plates. 2–8 Some researchers have specifically worked on the vibration characteristics of the composite sandwich panels, some of which are mentioned in this section. Li et al 9 investigated the vibration response of metallic sandwich panels with hourglass truss cores by comparing it with the traditional pyramidal sandwich structure.…”
