Abstract

In this paper, the isogeometric analysis (IGA) is extended to study the size-dependent behavior of bending, buckling and free vibration of in-plane bi-directional functionally graded porous microplates with variable thickness. In order to capture the effect of size, the modified strain gradient elasticity theory, which has three length scale parameters, is used. Regarding to the third-order shear deformation theory, the equations of motions are derived by using the Hamilton's principle and then are discretized based on the IGA approach. The material properties vary continuously through in-plane directions by employing the rule of mixture and the porosity distribution is considered an even type. The C²-continuity requirement can be easily achieved by increasing the order of the non-uniform rational B-spline (NURBS) basis functions larger than two. The influences of the size effect, aspect ratios, boundary conditions, thickness variations, material gradations, and porosity distributions on the deflections, the fundamental natural frequencies, and the buckling load values of the rectangular, circular and elliptical microplates are studied. The obtained results are compared with the previously published studies to show the performance and efficiency of the present research.

期刊介绍： Thin-walled structures comprises an important and growing proportion of engineering construction with areas of application becoming increasingly diverse, ranging from aircraft, bridges, ships and oil rigs to storage vessels, industrial buildings and warehouses. Many factors, including cost and weight economy, new materials and processes and the growth of powerful methods of analysis have contributed to this growth, and led to the need for a journal which concentrates specifically on structures in which problems arise due to the thinness of the walls. This field includes cold– formed sections, plate and shell structures, reinforced plastics structures and aluminium structures, and is of importance in many branches of engineering. The primary criterion for consideration of papers in Thin–Walled Structures is that they must be concerned with thin–walled structures or the basic problems inherent in thin–walled structures. Provided this criterion is satisfied no restriction is placed on the type of construction, material or field of application. Papers on theory, experiment, design, etc., are published and it is expected that many papers will contain aspects of all three.
