Abstract
AbstractIn this investigation, the nonlinear dynamics of porous annular plates that have been functionally graded are examined under varying time-dependent loads. Both simple supported and fully clamped boundary conditions are taken into account. The mechanical properties of the functionally graded plate in its thickness are considered according to the distribution function of the modified law. In addition, porosity, as a stress-relieving property, is also applied throughout the plate thickness by different functions and pore volume fractions. By adopting Hamilton’s principle, the equations of motion are obtained based on the modified higher-order shear deformation plate theory. Then these partial differential equations are solved using the viscous dynamic relaxation method in conjunction with Newmark’s implicit integration method. The present findings are compared and successfully confirmed with those available in the literature. Finally, the effects of some key factors such as porosity distribution type, pore volume fraction, power-law index, loading conditions, and thickness-to-radius ratio on the dynamic behavior of both simple and fully clamped plates have been studied in detail. The study’s findings indicate that porosity pattern X, characterized by a greater prevalence of interconnected pores, exhibited enhanced resistance to deflection. Conversely, pattern O, featuring a more uniformly distributed pore size, effectively mitigated stress in FG porous materials. These observations offer valuable insights for optimizing plate design and elevating its performance.
