Free vibration and buckling behavior of porous P-type FGM and S-type FGM circular plates on elastic foundation under non-uniform thermal field

In this paper, in order to satisfied the design and manufacturing requirements of functional materials, an investigation is carried out to study the free vibration and thermal buckling characteristics of porous P- and S-type functionally graded materials (FGM) circular plates in non-uniform thermal fields in the context of first-order shear deformation theory. FGM is formed by gradient changes in metals and ceramics, the thermomechanical properties were characterized by a gradient along the thickness direction of the circular plate by a power-law function containing porosity correction. The differential equations of motion control are derived using the Hamiltonian variational principle, and the dimensionless equations of motion and boundary conditions are solved analytically by the DTM transformation procedure. The problem has been degraded and compared with the results of the existing literature to confirm its validity. In conclusion, the influence of each parameter on the dimensionless natural frequency of the porous FGM circular plate and the influence of relevant parameters on the critical temperature rise are calculated and evaluated. The porosity weakens the overall stiffness and equivalent mass of the structure, and the foundation enhances the stiffness. The DTM calculation iteration speed is fast, and the results are highly consistent. The results can be used to provide model guidance and data support for future studies of porous FGM circular plates as well as follow-up studies.
