Nonlinear Free Vibration Analysis of In-plane Bi-directional Functionally Graded Plate with Porosities Resting on Elastic Foundations

Abstract

This paper deals with the nonlinear free vibration analysis of in-plane bi-directional functionally graded (IBFG) rectangular plate with porosities which are resting on Winkler–Pasternak elastic foundations. The material properties of the IBFG plate are assumed to be graded along the length and width of the plate according to the power-law distribution, as well as, even and uneven types are taken into account for porosity distributions. Equations of motion are developed by means of Hamilton’s principle and von Karman nonlinearity strain–displacement relations based on classical plate theory (CPT). Afterward, the time-dependent nonlinear equations are derived by applying the Galerkin procedure. The nonlinear frequency is determined by using modified Poincare–Lindstedt method (MPLM). Numerical results are obtained in tabular and graphical form to examine the effects of some system key parameters such as porosity coefficients, distribution patterns, gradient indices, elastic foundation coefficients, aspect ratio and vibration amplitude on the nonlinear frequency of the porous IBFG plate. To validate the analysis, the results of this paper have been compared to the published data and good agreements have been found.

Numerical and experimental study on mechanical properties of glass fiber‐reinforced polymer sandwich structure with polyurethane foam‐filled M‐shaped core

“…[1][2][3] A lot of these sandwich panels have lattice cores instead of integrated ones. [4][5][6] For instance, fuselages, satellite missiles, and turbofans all have lattice cores. Since the geometrical shape of the sandwich panel affects the mechanical behavior of the composite lattice structure, mechanical properties of the composite structures with truss core should be investigated.…”

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.…”
