Abstract Based on the three-dimensional theory of elasticity and assuming that the mechanical properties of the materials vary continuously in the thickness direction and have the same exponent-law variations, the three-dimensional free and forced vibration analysis of functionally graded circular plate with various boundary conditions is achieved in this paper. A semi-analytical method, which makes use of the state space method and the one-dimensional differential quadrature method, is used to obtain the vibration frequencies and dynamic responses of circular plates. The analytical solution in the thickness direction can be acquired using the state space method and approximate solution in the radial direction can be obtained using the one-dimensional differential quadrature method. Numerical results are given to demonstrate the accuracy and superiority of the presented method. The influences of the material property graded index, the circumferential wave number and the forced frequencies on the dynamic behavior for different functionally graded circular plates are also studied.  2007 Elsevier B.V.

1. Introduction Functionally graded materials (FGMs) have gained considerable attention in recent years. FGMs are composite materials that are microscopically inhomogeneous, and the mechanical properties vary continuously in one (or more) direction(s). This is achieved by gradually changing the composition of the constituent materials along one direction, usually in the thickness direction, to obtain smooth variation of material properties and optimum response to externally applied loading. A lot of different applications of FGMs can be found in references [1,2]. Dynamical analysis of FGMs structural components is important in the design of FGMs devices. Several results can be found in the literature. For example, Yang and Shen [3] dealt with the dynamic response of initially stressed functionally graded rectangular thin plates subjected to *

partially distributed impulsive lateral loads. Vel and Batra [4] presented a three-dimensional exact solution for free and forced vibrations of simply supported functionally graded rectangular plates. Kitipornchai et al. [5] studied the nonlinear vibration of imperfect shear deformable laminated rectangular plates comprising a homogeneous substrate and two layers of functionally graded materials. Chen [6] investigated the nonlinear vibration of functionally graded plates with arbitrary initial stresses and the effects of the amplitude of vibration, initial condition and volume fraction on nonlinear vibration were studied. Roque et al. [7] performed the free vibration analysis of functionally graded plates by the multiquadric radial basis function method and a higher-order shear deformation theory. Serge [8] considered the problems of free vibrations, buckling, and static deflections of functionally graded plates in which material properties vary through the thickness. Ferreira et al. [9] used the global collocation method, the first and the third-order shear deformation plate theories, the Mori–Tanaka technique to homogenize material

properties, and approximated the trial solution with multiquadric radial basis functions to analyze free vibrations of functionally graded plates. Woo et al. [10] provided an analytical solution for the nonlinear free vibration behavior of plates made of functionally graded materials. Park and Kim [11] researched the thermal postbuckling and vibration of the functionally graded plate considering the nonlinear temperature-dependent material properties. However, the investigations on three-dimensional vibration of FGMs circular plates are limited in number and are discussed briefly here. Prakash and Ganapathi [12] studied the asymmetric flexural vibration and thermoelastic stability of FGMs circular plates using finite element method. Efraim and Eisenberger [13] presented the vibration analysis of thick annular plates with variable thickness made of isotropic material and FGMs by the exact element method. This paper deals with three-dimensional free and forced vibration for FGMs circular plates. The material properties are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction according to an exponential distribution. The formulations are based on the three-dimensional theory of elasticity. A semi-analytical method, which makes use of the state space method [14,15] and the one-dimensional differential quadrature method [16–20], is employed in the free and forced vibration analysis. Numerical results for the natural frequencies and dynamic responses of circular plates are presented. A parametric study is also given to demonstrate the influences of the material property graded index, the circumferential wave number and the forced frequencies for different functionally graded circular plates. 2. Mathematical formulations 2.1. Governing equations Consider a transversely isotropic circular plate composed of FGMs with radius a and thickness h, as shown in Fig. 1. A cylindrical coordinate system r, h, z with the origin o on the center of the bottom plane is employed to describe the plate displacement. The equations of elastic equilibrium under the cylindrical coordinate system, in the absence of body forces, are

ð1Þ

where rr, rh, rz, shz, srz, srh are stress components, ur, uh, uz are displacement components, q denotes material density and t is time. The displacement components are related to the strain components through the following relations: our 1 ouz ouh ; chz ¼ þ ; r oh or oz 1 ouh ur our ouz eh ¼ þ ; crz ¼ þ ; r oh r oz or ouz ouh 1 our uh ; crh ¼ þ  ; ez ¼ r oh oz or r

ð2Þ

where er, eh, ez, chz, crz, crh are strain components. The constitutive equations for a transversely isotropic functionally graded material are rr ¼ c11 er þ c12 eh þ c13 ez ; rh ¼ c12 er þ c11 eh þ c13 ez ; rz ¼ c13 er þ c13 eh þ c33 ez ;

shz ¼ c44 chz ; srz ¼ c44 crz ; c11  c12 crh ; srh ¼ 2

ð3Þ

where c11, c12, c13, c33, c44 are elastic stiffness components. In FGMs, these material property parameters are the functions of the coordinates r, h, z and they vary continuously only along one direction in most real cases. In the present paper, we assume that the material properties have the following exponential distributions in the thickness direction of the plates, i.e., k ¼ k 0 ekðhÞ ; z

ð4Þ 0

where k denotes c11, c12, c13, c33, c44, q, k is the values of material properties at the plane z = 0, k is the material property graded index. The assumption was employed by many researchers (e.g., [15,21], among others). Considering Eqs. (1)–(4) and letting ur ; uh ; uz ; ouozr ; ouozh ; ouozz be the state variables, the governing equations represented by the displacements and their first-order differentials can be written as the state space formulation.      0 D1 P o P ¼ ; ð5Þ oz C C D2 D3  T where P ¼ ½ ur uh uz T , C ¼ ouozr ouozh ouozz , and D1, D2, D3 are given in Appendix A. 2.2. Boundary conditions For a solid circular plate, the boundary conditions are Clamped:

For free vibration problems, boundary conditions at the top and bottom surfaces are assumed as the following. at bottom surface (z = 0) and top surface (z = h), srz ¼ 0;

shz ¼ 0;

rz ¼ 0:

ð12Þ

For forced vibrations, normal and tangential tractions at the top and bottom surfaces can be assumed as follows: at bottom surface (z = 0) ixm t srz ¼ K  ; rm cosðmhÞe  ixm t shz ¼ K hm sinðmhÞe ;

where m = 0, 1, 2, . . . , 1 is the circumferential wave number. It is obvious that m = 0 means axisymmetric vibration. While interchanging the trigonometric function cos mh and sin mh in Eq. (14), another set of free vibration modes can be obtained. However, in such a case, m = 0 means torsional vibration of no warping. Substituting Eq. (14) into Eq.

While the partial derivatives with respect to the radial variable R of the unknown displacements UR, Uh, UZ are expressed as the function of the displacements, the solution to Eq.

Semi-analytical method A semi-analytical approach combining state space method (SSM) and differential quadrature method (DQM) is used to solve the governing equations shown in Eq. (5). The semi-analytical approach employs the state space method in the gradient direction (z-direction) of circular plates and uses the one-dimensional differential quadrature rule in the radial direction to establish a linear eigenvalue system from which the fundamental frequencies and the dynamic responses can be obtained. 3.1. State space formulations When the circular plate vibrating with natural frequency x, it is possible to separate the dependence of time and the

The basic idea of differential quadrature method (DQM) is to approximate an unknown function and its partial derivatives with respect to a spatial variable at any discrete point as the linear weighted sums of their values at all the discrete points chosen in the solution domain. According to the differential quadrature rule, the rth-order derivative of an unknown function f(n) at point i can be expressed as [19].  N X or f ðnÞ ðrÞ ¼ Aij f ðnj Þ ði ¼ 1; 2; . . . ; N Þ; ð17Þ onr n¼ni j¼1 where N is the number of discrete points. n is the coordinate of discrete point j and f(nj) is the function value at ðrÞ the discrete point j. Aij is a weighting coefficient matrix of rth-order derivative and the expressions of the weighting coefficients are given in Ref. [19]. Using DQM to the state space equations shown in Eq. (16), the new state space equations with respect to the state variables at discrete points can then be obtained as follows: " # " #" # 0 Di1 Pi o Pi ¼ ; ð18Þ oZ Ci Di2 Di3 Ci

Z = 0 are Young’s modulus E = 380 GPa, the density q = 3800 kg/m3, Poisson’s ratio m = 0.3, respectively. The material properties are assumed as the exponential distributions in the thickness of the plates shown in Eq. (4). Equally spaced discrete points are adopted and the number of discrete points in the radial direction is nine. The comparisons of the first five non-dimensional frequencies between the present solutions and the existing solutions are listed in Table 1. And the comparisons of the first nondimensional frequencies for different graded index are shown in Table 2. While using the software ANSYS, threedimensional eight-node solid element (Solid5) is adopted. The plate is divided into ten layers in the thickness and the element size in the radial and circumferential directions is less than 0.1a. And the total numbers of the elements and nodes are 6150 and 7128, respectively. From Tables 1 and 2, it can be found that the present results are in good agreement with the available results either for the isotropic plates or for FGMs plates. On the other hand, the superiority of the present method is also demonstrated through the above examples. Using the semi-analytical method, the analytical solution in the thickness direction is given and an effective approximate solution in the radial direction is obtained by selecting fewer discrete points. However, in order to get the precise results to a certain extent, while using ANSYS, the plate has to be meshed into a lot of elements. Compared with finite element method, the semi-analytical method requires much less computational effort and it has great advantage in the computational efficiency. 4.2. Free vibration

It can be seen from Table 3 that the lowest nondimensional frequency increases with the increase of the thickness-to-width ratio of the plate and the circumferential wave number. And the lowest non-dimensional frequency decreases with the increase of the material property graded index.

For Case 1, the through-the-thickness variation of displacements ur and uz, stresses rr, rh, rz and srz, at a chosen position (r/a = 0.5, h = 45), for a static load (x = 0) and for forcing frequencies x = 0.8x0, x = 0.95x0 and

It can be found from Fig. 3 that the displacement UR has a linear variation in the thickness direction while UZ is almost uniform either for a static load (x = 0) or for a forced vibration (x 5 0). The stresses rr, rh, rz, srz are nonlinear functions of the thickness coordinate. For Case 2, the through-the-thickness variation of displacements ur, uh and uz, stresses rr, rh, rz, shz, srz and srh, at a chosen position (r/a = 0.5, h = 45), for different forced frequencies x = 0, x = 0.8x0, x = 0.95x0 and x = 1.05x0, are shown in Fig. 4. From Fig. 4, it can be seen that the displacements and stresses have the same variation as Fig. 3. And UR, Uh vary linearly in the thickness direction while UZ is uniform either for a static load (x = 0) or for a forced vibration (x 5 0). The stresses rr, rh, rz, shz, srz, srh are nonlinear functions of the thickness coordinate. It is easy to observe from Figs. 3 and 4 that the displacements and stresses become larger as the forcing frequency

The three-dimensional free and forced vibration analysis of FGMs circular plates with various boundary conditions are investigated in this paper by a semi-analytical approach (SSM-DQM). The analytical solution in the graded direction can be acquired using the state space method and approximate solution in the radial direction can be obtained using the one-dimensional differential quadrature method. The numerical results are compared with the existing numerical solutions and good agreement is displayed. Compared with finite element method, the semi-analytical method requires much less computational effort and it has great advantage in the computational efficiency. The lowest non-dimensional frequency of clamped circular plate increases with the increase of the thickness-to-width ratio of the plate and the circumferential wave number. And the lowest non-dimensional frequency decreases with the increase of the material property graded index. For the forced vibration problems, the displacements and stresses become larger as the forcing frequency approaches the natural frequency of the circular plates. In the actual application, it should be avoided that the forcing frequency is close to the natural frequency of the functionally graded circular plate.
