Thermal stresses in functionally graded materials
Abstract
This chapter presents free vibration and thermal stability analyses of functionally graded (FG) sandwich plates under temperature gradients. In particular, various through-the-thickness temperature distributions such as uniform, linear and non-linear are taken into account. The latter is given in different forms: i) Power law variation; ii) Solution of the one-dimensional Fourier's heat conduction equation; iii) Sinusoidal. The influence of initial thermal stresses on the free vibration characteristics of FG sandwich plates is investigated. The effect of volume fraction index, aspect ratio, boundary conditions, length-to-thickness ratio, sandwich plate type and temperature ...
