Advanced Dynamic Thermal Vibration of Thick Functionally Graded Material Plates with Nonlinear Varied Shear and Third-Order Shear Deformation Theory

The thick-walled thickness effect in layered-symmetrical structure is very important for considering the external thermal heating on the surface of functionally graded material (FGM) plates. Dynamic thermal vibration with advanced shear correction on the FGM plates are presented. The third-order shear deformation theory (TSDT) is included to calculate the values of advanced shear correction for the thick plates based on the displacement assumed in the middle symmetry plane. The values of advanced shear correction coefficient are in nonlinear variation with respect to the power-law index value for FGM. The dynamic stresses are calculated when the displacements and shear rotations are obtained for the given natural frequency of displacements, frequency of applied heat flux and time. The natural frequencies of sinusoidal displacements and shear rotations are obtained by using the determinant of the coefficient matrix in the fully homogeneous equation. Only the numerical dynamic results of displacements and stresses subjected to sinusoidal applied heat loads are investigated. The heating study in symmetry structure of FGMs to induce thermal vibration is interesting in the field of engineering and materials. The center displacements can withstand a higher temperature of 1000 K and a power-law index of 5, for which the length-to-thickness ratio 5 is better than that for 10.
