a b s t r a c t Bending analysis of sandwich circular plate with functionally grade core layer subjected to thermo-mechanical load is carried out using generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) method. The facing layers are made by metal and ceramic whereas the core layer is functionally graded materials composed of metal and ceramic material with distribution according to exponential function. Sandwich plate has various edges boundary conditions. Temperature distribution in three dimensions is obtained by solving heat conduction governing equation analytically. From combination of three dimensional governing equilibrium equations and constitutive relations, state space equations are derived. Applying GDQ method to the state space equations along the radial direction, semi-analytical solution can be obtained. After checking the convergence of the present approach, validation is carried out by comparing numerical results with the available results in open literature. Moreover, parametric study is presented to show the effects of the gradient direction, outer radius to thickness ratio, edges boundary conditions on the thermoelastic behavior of sandwich annular plates.

1. Introduction Sandwich plates are widely used in modern industry, especially in mechanical, nuclear reactors and aerospace industries due to its lightweight, high stiffness, high structural efficiency and strength. Due to the mismatch of thermal expansion coefficients as well as stiffness properties between the face sheets and the core, sandwich plates are susceptible to face sheet/core debonding, which is a major problem in sandwich construction. To overcome this problem, the concept of a functionally graded material (FGM) is being actively explored in sandwich panel design. Recently, many researchers have studied mechanical properties and behavior of FG sandwich structures. Based on higher order refined theory, Kant and Swaminathan [1] carried out static analysis of simply supported composite and sandwich plates using Navier’s technique. Anderson [2] presented an elasticity solution for static behavior of sandwich panel with orthotropic face sheets subjected to transverse loading. Based on higher-order refined theory, Swaminathan and Ragounadin [3] performed static analysis of simply supported anti-symmetric angle-ply composite and sandwich plates using Navier’s technique. Based on theory of elasticity, Li et al. [4] investigated free vibration of simply supported and clamped edges ⇑ Tel.: +98 21 82883991; fax: +98 21 82884909.

sandwich plates with volume fraction distribution of constituents according to simple power law. Kant et al. [5] discussed semianalytically bending behavior of sandwich laminates using twopoint boundary value problem (BVP) governed by a set of linear first-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs) through the thickness. Pandit et al. [6] proposed an improved higher order zigzag theory to analysis of static behavior of laminated sandwich plate with soft compressible core. Brischetto [7] analyzed bending behavior of sandwich plates with material properties according to the Legendre polynomials using classical and mixed advanced models. Wang et al. [8] used direct displacement method to investigate free vibration of FGM circular plate with elastic simply supported and rigid slipping support edge. Based on higher order theory, Tu et al. [9] carried out bending and vibration analysis of laminated and sandwich composite plates using finite element method. Based on two-dimensional theory of elasticity, Pilipchuk et al. [10] presented an exact solution for bending of sandwich FG plate-like beams with simply supported boundary condition subjected to thermal load. Axisymmetric Bending of FGM circular plate was discussed by Wang et al. [11] using three-dimensional theory of elasticity as well as the direct displacement method. Based on higher-order shear deformation theory (HSDT), static analysis of FG sandwich plate was carried out by Abdelaziz et al. [12]. Based on higher order structural theory, Natarajan and Manickam [13] studied static and free vibration of sandwich

FGM plate using QUAD-8 shear flexible element developed. Neves et al. [14] used hyperbolic sine term for the in-plane displacements and a quadratic function of thickness coordinate for transverse displacement to present static analysis of FG sandwich plates. Based on Hamilton’s principle, Khalili et al. [15] investigated free vibration of sandwich plates with FG face sheets and assumption of material properties of FG face sheets to be temperaturedependent by a third-order function of temperature using. Alibeigloo [16] used three-dimensional theory of elasticity to analysis of a FG solid and an annular circular plate subjected to thermomechanical load with various boundary conditions. Wang and Shen [17] used a two-step perturbation technique to investigate large amplitude vibration and nonlinear bending of a sandwich plate with carbon nanotube-reinforced composite (CNTRC) face sheets resting on an elastic foundation in thermal environments. Based on two-dimensional shear deformation theory, Xiang et al. [18] employed meshless global collocation method to analysis of free vibration of sandwich plate with FG face sheets and homogeneous core. Loja et al. [19] used B-spline finite strip element models to study static and free vibration behavior of FG sandwich plate with assumption of material properties to be according to Mori–Tanaka formulation. Based on higher-order shear deformation theory, Neves et al. [20] employed a and meshless technique to analysis static, free vibration and buckling behaviors of simply supported isotropic and sandwich FG plates. Tounsi et al. [21] used a refined trigonometric shear deformation theory to study thermoelastic bending behavior of simply support FG sandwich plates. Shariyat and Alipour [22] used finite Taylor’s transform and the fourth order Runge–Kutta procedure to study dynamic behavior of circular sandwich plates with functionally graded face sheets/ cores. Alibeigloo [23] presented three dimensional thermoelastic solution of a simply supported sandwich panel with FG core using Fourier series expansions and state-space technique. Based on generalized displacement field of the Carrera Unified Formulation (CUF), including the Zig-Zag effect given by the Murakami’s function, Tornabene et al. [24] analyzed dynamic behavior of doubly curved shell structures using GDQ method. Based on twodimensional Unconstrained Third order Shear Deformation Theory (UTSDT), Viola et al. [25] performed static analysis of functionally graded conical shells and panels using GDQ method. Static analysis of FG circular plate made of magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) materials was carried out by Wang et al. [26] using three dimensional theory of elasticity. Based on Higher-order Shear Deformation Theories, Tornabene et al. [27] investigated recovery of through-thethickness transverse normal and shear strains and stresses due to static deformation of FG doubly-curved sandwich shell structures and shells of revolution using GDQ method. Mantari and Granados [28] used a new quasi-3D hybrid type HSDT with 6 unknowns which is based on a generalized formulation to investigate thermoelastic bending analysis of advanced composite sandwich plates. To the author’s knowledge, however, themoelastic analysis of sandwich circular plate with FGM core has not yet been reported. In this paper semi-analytical solution for sandwich circular plate with FGM core embedded with ceramic and metal face sheets subjected to thermos-mechanical load is investigated. 2. Analysis

To show convergence of the present formulation, numerical results of dimensionless deflection as well as radial and circumferential normal stresses are computed and plotted in Fig. 2. As the figures show non-dimensional radial stresses is independent of increasing sampling points. Also it is observed that distribution of dimensionless deflection and circumferential stress along the thickness direction at mid radius of sandwich plate approaches

to a specific constant value at about 14 discrete points which confirms good convergence of the method. Since thermoelastic response of circular sandwich plate has not yet been reported in the literature, so in order to validate the present approach, a comparison study for the thermoelastic behavior of circular plate without face sheets is carried out. Numerical result of deflection factor (a) for circular FGM plate subjected to mechanical load is computed and along with the reported results by Yun et al. [11] are tabulated in Table 1. Regardless of the amount of thickness-toradius ratio and gradient index, deflection factor of present

A. Alibeigloo / Composite Structures 136 (2016) 229–240

formulation is smaller than that of Ref. [11]. According to the table in isotropic material, k1 ¼ 0, the results of the present approach is exactly the same as the results obtained by Yun et al. [11]. Furthermore it can be observed that by increasing the gradient index as well as the thickness to radius ratio, difference of two results increases. It is noted that the discrepancy of the two results is due to the division of FGM layer to the some fictitious isotropic layers with different thermoelastic constants in Ref. [11]. Effects of lay-up on thermo-elastic behavior of the sandwich annular plate subjected to thermal load and with S–C boundary conditions are considered in Fig. 3a–f. According to the figures in the sequence of metal, FGM and ceramic layup, M/FGM/C, through the thickness distribution of stresses, displacement and temperature at a given point are always smaller in magnitude than those at the corresponding points in the sequence of ceramic, FGM and metal, C/FGM/M, layup. In addition, From Fig. 3a and b it is concluded that the interface in-plane stresses are continuous. Through thickness distribution of stresses and displacements of sandwich annular plate with various edges condition are presented in Fig. 4a–e. From Fig. 4a–c it is seen that all of stresses distribution in S–S boundary condition, compared with the other edges conditions, has minimum value and in C–C boundary conditions has maximum value. Moreover, it can be concluded that stresses distribution in FGM layer is nonlinear function of transverse coordinate whiles it is linear in facing sheets and this is due to the variation of material properties in FGM layer according to the exponential function of transverse coordinate. Fig. 4d depicts the effect of edges boundary conditions on through the thickness distribution of radial

displacements. According to the figure this distribution for the plate with C–C boundary conditions is minimum whereas it is maximum for the plate with S–S boundary condition. As the Fig. 4e shows, distribution of transverse displacement along the thickness direction is maximum for C–F boundary condition whereas it is minimum value for C–C boundary condition. Fig. 5a–g depicts through-thickness distributions of the dimensionless stresses, displacement and temperature with various surface temperature difference conditions. As the Fig. 5a and b show dimensionless radial and circumferential stresses increases by increasing surface temperature difference whiles transverse normal stress (Fig. 5c) decrease. Besides, it is concluded that distribution of radial and circumferential normal stresses at top surface is more affected by temperature difference than that at the bottom surface whereas this is converse for the transverse normal stress rz ; (Fig. 5d) increase by distribution. Transverse shear stress, s increasing the temperature difference in the region nearly bellow the mid surface and then decreases above the mid surface of the sandwich plate. From Fig. 5e and f it can be observed that radial displacement increases and transverse displacement decreases when surface temperature difference increases. Through the thickness temperature distribution is represented in Fig. 5g. According to the figure and as expected, increase surface temperature difference causes to increase temperature gradient along the thickness direction. Influence of surface tractions on through the thickness distribution of displacements and stresses for sandwich circular plate with FGM core is depicted in Fig. 6a–f. As the Fig. 6a shows, the neutral surface does not coincide with the mid

thickness of the FGM core and it is shifted toward the stiffer surface. Moreover it is seen that stresses distribution satisfies surfaces boundary condition. According to the figures and as expected increase mechanical load causes to increase stresses as well as displacements. Effect of outer radius to thickness ratio, rho , on thermal stresses at mid radius and mid surface of plate with S-S boundary conditions for various outer radius to inner radius ratio, rro ; are i

computed numerically and tabulated in Table 2. It is shown in Table 2 that increase rho causes to increase radial and circumferential stresses and to decrease the transverse normal and shear stresses. In addition, it is observed that when rroi increases, all of stresses except to transverse shear stress decreases. 4. Conclusion In this investigation axisymmetric thermoelastic analysis of sandwich circular plate with FGM core imbedded in metal and ceramic facing sheets with various boundary conditions is carried out using semi-analytical state space differential quadrature method. Analytical solution along the thickness direction is performed by using state space technique and approximate solution in the radial direction is obtained by applying one-dimensional differential quadrature method. This method overcomes the difficulty conformed by the traditional state space method when applied to analyses the plate with non-simply supported boundary conditions. From parametric study it was concluded that in the sequence of metal, FGM and ceramic layup, M/FGM/C, through the thickness distribution of stresses, displacement and temperature at a given point are always smaller in magnitude than those at the corresponding points in the sequence of ceramic, FGM and metal, C/FGM/M, layup. Also numerical results predicted the continuity of interface in-plane stresses. The neutral surface of the FGM is not at the mid-surface but depends on the through-thickness variation of Young’s modulus. Stress field in S–S boundary condition has minimum value and in C–C boundary conditions it is maximum value. Increasing the surface temperature difference causes to increase in-plane normal stresses and to decrease transverse normal stress. It was concluded that radial displacement increases and transverse displacement decreases when surface temperature difference increases.
