Varied effects of shear correction on thermal vibration of Functionally Graded Material plates

Author: CC Hong

Category: Optimization

Abstract:

The varied shear correction coefficient and the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) effects on the functionally graded material (FGM) thick plates under thermal vibration are investigated by using the generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) method. The computed and varied values of shear correction coefficient are usually functions of total thickness of plates, FGM power law index and environment temperature. The shear correction coefficient equation of FGM plates is derived and obtained by using the total strain energy principle. Two parametric: environment temperature and FGM power law index effects on the stress and deflection of FGM thick plates are obtained and investigated. Further application of suitability might focus on the experiment of physicals. DOI:https:/doi.org/10.24243/JMEB/2.1.156
