In-Plane Free Vibration of Functionally Graded Rectangular Plates with Elastic Restraint
Authorized by Jiping Shen
The in-plane free
vibration of a rectangular plate made of functional graded materials (FGM) is
studied based on the two-dimensional linear elasticity theory. The material
parameters of FGM rectangular plates are assumed to vary along with the length
and width directions according to an exponential law. The governing equation of
motion for the FGM rectangular plate is derived using the D’Alembert principle.
Subsequently, the equation of motion is solved by the Differential Quadrature
Method (DQM), and the natural frequencies for in-plane free vibration of FGM
rectangular plate are obtained accordingly. The effects of gradient index,
length-width ratio and stiffness of elastic boundary on the natural frequency
of FGM rectangular plates are discussed, and the modes for in-plane free
vibration are provided.
