a b s t r a c t Based on the Levinson plate theory (LPT) and the first-order shear deformation plate theory (FST), the bending analysis of functionally graded (FG) thick circular sector plates is presented. The LPT solutions of FG sectorial plates are first expressed in terms of the solutions of the classical plate theory (CPT) for homogeneous sectorial plates and then presented using a direct method. It is assumed that the nonhomogeneous mechanical properties of plate, graded through the thickness, are described by a power function of the thickness coordinate. The results are given in closed-form solutions and verified with the known data in the literature. Ó 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

1. Introduction Based on considering the effect of transverse shear strains through the thickness of plate two-dimensional plate theories can be categorized into two groups: (1) classical plate theory which is the simplest plate theory that neglects the effect of the transverse shear deformation and (2) shear deformation plate theories are those in which the effect of the transverse shear strains is included. There are a number of shear deformation plate theories in literature. The simplest one is the first-order shear deformation plate theory (FST) which can be classified, depending on whether or not the expansion of displacement components or stress components through the thickness of plate is assumed to be known a priori, into two types: stress-based and displacement-based plate theories. Reissner [1] would appear to have been the first to consider shear deformations in a static plate theory (stress-based theories); while Mindlin [2] was the pioneer in developing dynamic plate theories which include the effects of transverse shear deformations and rotary inertia (displacement-based theories). Also, Reissner [3,4] was the first to determine that his three coupled equations can be uncoupled into two equations which called them edge-zone and interior equations. Levinson [5] presented an accurate simple theory for the static’s and dynamics of rectangular plates. He used a vector approach to derive his equations of equilibrium of homogeneous plates and showed that his theory at least for one static problem provides a better approximation to the known elasticity solution than did Reissner plate theory.

and Kitipornchai [6] presented an exact frequency relationship between Levinson plate theory and Kirchhoff plate theory for homogeneous plates of general polygonal shape and simply supported edges. Reddy et al. [7] derived the exact relationships between the bending solutions of the Levinson and Kirchhoff beam and plate theories based on the load equivalence and mathematical similarity of the governing equations of the both mentioned theories. Wang et al. [8] furnished a great book about shear deformation theories. This book studies the relationships between the solutions of classical theories of beams and plates with those of the first- and third-order shear deformation theories. A comprehensive work on edge-zone equation of linear and non-linear shear deformation theories of symmetric laminated plates was done by Nosier and Reddy [9–12]. Also, Nosier et al. [13] studied a boundary layer phenomenon in bending analysis of laminated circular sector plates based on the FST. FGMs have attracted much attention as advanced structural materials in recent years because of their heat-shielding properties. FGMs were first introduced in 1984 by a group of material scientists in Japan for developing thermal barrier materials [14–16]. FGMs are spatial composites within which material properties vary continuously. The composition of constituent materials changes gradually usually in the thickness direction from point to point in which these materials are microscopically inhomogeneous. FGMs are made by combining two or more materials using powder metallurgy method, typically these materials are made from a mixture of ceramic and metal in which the ceramic component provides high-temperature resistance due to its low thermal conductivity; on the other hand, the ductile metal component prevents fracture due to thermal stress. FGMs were introduced as to take advantage of the desired material properties of each

constituent material which leads to smooth distribution of stresses, without an abrupt change in the effective properties which may result in interface problems of traditional composite materials. FGMs are now considered as a potential structural material for high-speed spacecraft. Using the first-order theory of Mindlin, Reddy et al. [17] studied axisymmetric bending and stretching of functionally graded solid circular and annular plates. They presented the solutions for deflections, force and moment resultants based on the first-order plate theory in terms of those obtained using the classical plate theory. As an extensive work, Ma and Wang [18] employed third-order shear deformation plate theory to solve the bending and buckling problems of functionally graded materials. They derived the relationships between the solutions of axisymmetric bending and buckling of FGMs based on the TST and those of homogeneous circular plates on the basis of CPT. In the present work, LPT is employed to analyze the pure bending of functionally graded sectorial plates. First, using an analytical method, the relationships between the solutions of the bending of functionally graded circular sector Levinson plates was derived in terms of the responses of homogeneous sectorial Kirchhoff plates. In follows, the unknown functions of LPT are again obtained using a direct method. The effects of the material distribution through the thickness and shear deformation on the bending of the functionally graded sectorial plates have been all considered.

Using Eqs. (1) and (2), the material properties P of plate such as, Young’s modulus E can be written as follow:

 n h  2z E ¼ ðEm  Ec Þ þ Ec : 2h

Generally Poisson’s ratio m varies in a small range, for simplicity it is assumed to be a constant. It is apparent from Eq. (3) that the upper surface of plate (z = h/2) is purely ceramic and the lower surface (z = h/2) is purely metallic. 3. Equilibrium equations of Levinson plate theory Let (Ur, Uh, Uz) be the displacement components of an arbitrary point within the plate domain along the (r, h, z) coordinate directions in cylindrical coordinates, the equilibrium equations of LPT are derived based on the following displacement field as

U r ðr; h; zÞ ¼ zur  az3 ður þ w;r Þ;   1 U h ðr; h; zÞ ¼ zuh  az3 uh þ w;h ; r

ð4aÞ ð4bÞ

U z ðr; h; zÞ ¼ w;

ð4cÞ

where ur and uh are respectively, rotations of the middle surface (i.e., z = 0) of plate in h- and r-directions; w is the transverse deflection of mid-plane in z-direction; and a = 4/3h2. In relations (4), a comma followed by a variable indicates partial differentiation with respect to that variable. Bending equations of Levinson plate theory are obtained by integrating the stress equations of the three-dimensional elasticity as follow [5]:

2. Material properties Consider a solid FGM circular sector thick flat plate of radius b and thickness h with a subtended angle h0 subjected to transversely pressure q as shown in Fig. 1. The cylindrical coordinates (r, h, z) also shown in the figure, is used in the analysis. The r-coordinate is measured radially from the center and mid-plane of plate; h-coordinate is taken along the circumference; and the thickness coordinate z is perpendicular to the r  h plane. The sectorial plate is simply supported at h = 0 and h = h0 while at r = b it may be simply supported, clamped or free. The material properties P of FGMs are a function of the material properties and volume fractions of the all constituent materials which can be expressed for two different constituents as [19]

In what follows, using a direct method, the governing equation (5) will be solved to yield the deflection and boundary layer solutions of LPT and therefore the two other unknown displacement functions will be obtained in terms of them. The governing equation (5) can be expressed in terms of displacement functions (w, ur, uh) by substituting for the force and moment resultants from Eqs. (8) and (9). Thus, the governing equation (5) for FGM circular sector plates take the form

To validate the propose formulation, an Aluminum/Zirconia’s functionally graded material with m = 0.3 and Er = 0.4636 is considered here in which Er denotes the ratio of Young’s modulus of metal component to ceramic component which are taken from Praveen and Reddy [22]. Table 1 presents a comparison study of  ¼ 103 wDm =ðq0 b4 Þ for SSS, the non-dimensional deflection in w SSC and SSF homogeneous sectorial plates from the present LPT results with the results from CPT given by Timshenko and Woinowsky-Krieger [23]; and with Abacus finite element program and FST by Wang et al., [8]. It is seen that the results of the present theory are in excellent agreement with the results of Abaqus finite element program and Mindlin theory. Fig. 2 shows the non-dimen of functionally graded SSS, SSC and SSF sional deflection, w, plates versus the power law index n for various values of thickness radius ratio h/b. The opening angle h0 is considered to be p/3. It can  decreases with increasing the values of n and inbe seen that w creases with increasing the values of h/b due to the effect of trans for verse shear deformation. Also, it is concluded that w homogeneous plates is considerably more than the corresponding value for the FG sectorial plates. Variation of the non-dimensional deflection of functionally graded SSS, SSC and SSF plates versus the Er is demonstrated in Fig. 3 for various values of n with h/b = 0.1. The opening angle h0 and circumferential angle h are considered

to be p and p/2 for SSS and SSC plates, respectively, and also p/4  increases as Er inand p/8 for SSF plates. It is observed that w creases. Fig. 4 depicts the non-dimensional deflection of functionally graded SSS, SSC and SSF plates versus the opening angle h0 for various values of n with h/b = 0.1. The circumferential angle h is  increases as h0 inconsidered to be h0/2. It is concluded that w  of SSF plates more highly increases creases. Also, it is seen that w as h0 tends to p. It is because of the SSF plates are not globally in equilibrium when h0 = p.

The circumferential angle h is considered to be p/6 for Fig. 5 and p/4 for Fig. 6. Note that the value of shz at h = h0/2 is zero due to symmetry of circular sector plates about the line h = h0/2. It is seen hz decreases with increasing the rz and s that both shear stresses s values of h/b. Also, it is observed that the maximum non-dimensional shear stresses of FG sectorial plates are greater than the corresponding values of the homogeneous plates and do not occur at z ¼ 0 due to non-homogenous mechanical properties of the FGMs.

7. Conclusions The pure bending problem of functionally graded circular sector plates is considered in the present work based on the Levinson plate theory (LPT). This theory captures the higher-order effect by assuming the same third-order polynomials in the expansion of the in-plane displacements through the thickness of plate as in the Reddy’s higher-order theory and therefore it no needs to have shear correction factor. In this article the unknown displacement functions of the LPT are represented in two types: (1) in terms of the response of homogeneous sectorial plates based on the classical plate theory and (2) by solving the two independent edge-zone and interior equations, directly. An excellent rate of convergence was showed and the results were in good agreement with the results of other theories. Also, it is seen that the LPT solution of the deflection for homogenous sectorial plates are significantly higher than those for functionally graded ones; especially for the thick plates. Thus, the gradients in material properties play an important role in determining the response of the FGM plates. References [1] Reissner E.
