        Due to their continuous material variation and eliminating the mismatch stress field in the thickness direction, Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) have found wide applications in aerospace and mechanical engineering. This article presents closed-form solution for thick functionally graded plate based on three-dimensional elasticity theory. To this end, first, the characteristic equation of FG plate is derived and general closed-form is obtained analytically. Both positive and negative discriminant of characteristic equation is considered and solved. The presented method is validated with finite element results by considering isotropic thick plate. Several parametric studies are carried out to investigate the effect of geometric and material parameters. The aim of this research is to present analytical solution form for thick FG plate and work out the problem of inconsistency for corresponding displacements field. The presented solution can be used to examine accuracy of various plate theories such as first-order, third order shear deformation theories and other equivalent plate theories. پرونده مقاله

        A Trigonometric Shear Deformation Theory (TSDT) for the analysis of isotropic plate, taking into account transverse shear deformation effect as well as transverse normal strain effect, is presented. The theory presented herein is built upon the classical plate theory. In this displacement-based, trigonometric shear deformation theory, the in-plane displacement field uses sinusoidal function in terms of thickness coordinate to include the shear deformation effect. The cosine function in terms of thickness coordinate is used in transverse displacement to include the effect of transverse normal strain. It accounts for realistic variation of the transverse shear stress through the thickness and satisfies the shear stress free surface conditions at the top and bottom surfaces of the plate. The theory obviates the need of shear correction factor like other higher order or equivalent shear deformation theories. Governing equations and boundary conditions of the theory are obtained using the principle of virtual work. Results obtained for static flexural analysis of simply supported thick isotropic plates for various loading cases are compared with those of other refined theories and exact solution from theory of elasticity. پرونده مقاله
