Abstract

This paper deals with the thermomechanical-induced vibration characteristics of shear deformable functionally graded material (FGM) plates. Theoretical formulations are based on higher-order shear deformation theory with a significant improvement in the transverse displacement using finite-element method. The mechanical properties of the plate are assumed to be temperature-dependent and graded in the thickness direction according to a power-law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. The temperature field is ascertained to be a uniform distribution over the plate surface and varied in the thickness direction only. The fundamental equations for FGM plates are derived using variational approach by considering traction-free boundary conditions on the top and bottom faces of the plate. A C ⁰ continuous isoparametric Lagrangian finite-element with 13 degrees of freedom (DOF) per node have been used to accomplish the results. Convergence and comparison studies have been performed for square plates to demonstrate the efficiency of the present model. The numerical results are obtained for different thickness ratios, aspect ratios, volume fraction index, and temperature rise with different boundary conditions. The results reveal that the temperature field and the gradient in the material properties have significant effect on the vibration characteristics of the FGM plates.
