Abstract
This paper investigates wave propagation in a functionally graded graphene platelet-reinforced ceramic-metal (FG-GPLRCM) porous plate on viscoelastic substrates. The study employs integral high-order shear deformation theory, effectively reducing the number of unknowns, ensuring compliance with boundary conditions, and accounting for transverse shear effects without the need for shear correction factors. The effective properties of the materials are determined using the Halpin-Tsai model and the rule of mixtures. The governing equations are formulated using Hamilton's principle and solved using a plane wave solution approach. Reinforcement is distributed across the plate's thickness following various configurations, including UD-, O-, X-, A-, and V-types. The proposed model has been validated through several examples, demonstrating its accuracy and efficiency in predicting wave propagation behavior in FG-GPLRCM plates. A comprehensive parametric study examines the influence of porosity, GPL weight fraction, reinforcement distribution patterns, FGM gradient index, plate thickness ratio, and foundation parameters on the wave propagation characteristics of these plates. Results show that phase velocity increases significantly with higher GPL content, especially at greater wavenumbers and porosity levels. Among reinforcement patterns, A-type consistently yields the highest phase velocities, emphasizing the importance of distribution layout. This study highlights key factors affecting FG-GPLRCM plate performance, offering a foundation for optimized design and improved real-world reliability.
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.
