KEYWORDS		ABSTRACT
Porous bi-directional functionally graded materials; Vibration; Circular/Annular plates; Non-axisymmetric; DQM.		The article presents non-axisymmetric free vibration results of porous bi-directional functionally graded (BDFG) plates. The bi-directional grading index changes with the thickness (z-) and radial (r-) directions and porosity distributions are classified as uniform or non-uniform type. A displacement field model is formulated based on First-order Shear Deformation Theory (FSDT). Hamilton’s principle is used to develop the governing equations for porous BDFG plates. The spatial discretization of the proposed mathematical model in five variables is carried out using the fast converging Differential Quadrature Method (DQM).  The numerous examples demonstrate the accuracy and stability of the present DQM model by comparing the reported results available in the literature. The influence of aspect ratios, boundary conditions, and porosity distributions on the free vibration response of porous bi-directional functionally graded material plates is investigated intensively. These findings reveal that increasing the porosity volume fraction significantly impacts the mechanical properties of porous bi-directional functionally graded plates.

 

1.     Introduction

Lightweight structures are significant in aerospace, marine, nuclear, and civil engineering because new composite materials have a high strength-to-weight ratio. Lightweight isotropic and microscopically inhomogeneous functionally graded materials are made up of two or more phases with smooth material characteristics changing in specific directions. As a result, functionally graded materials can minimize inter-laminar stresses, delamination failure, and thermal deformation while also providing design ability to satisfy specific mechanical requirements.

Many studies have been published to demonstrate and evaluate the mechanical characteristics of FGM structures. However, when material properties are distributed in various directions, axial or nonaxial FGMs are inappropriate for aeronautical applications, medical components, and higher temperature sustainable materials. The bi-directional FGMs (BDFGMs) were designed to full fill the requirements of those above-mentioned applications.

Numerical solutions already play a crucial role in the advancement of engineering research due to improvements in computer technology. Various numerical approaches are utilized to evaluate the solution using numerical methods, and those are regarded as effective techniques to solve the ordinary and partial differential equations (PDEs). The finite difference method (FDM), the finite volume method (FVM),  the finite element method (FEM), and Galerkin and collocation methods which are types of methods of weighted residuals (MWR), are all examples of numerical simulation approaches. Among the methodologies mentioned above, FEM and FDM are the tools that are mostly used to solve the equations. Although the most commonly used method is FEM, stress concentrations, sharp changes, singularities, and large deformation can be challenging to assess using FEM. To minimize the constraints of conventional FEM, novel approaches like wavelet-based numerical methods, mesh-free methods, the discrete singular convolution (DSC) algorithm, and other comparable techniques were developed, even if this technique overcomes the constraints of the FEM methodology. Still, these methods take very long to approximate the solution.

The differential quadrature method (DQM) is developed to eliminate some of the drawbacks of the methods mentioned above and deal with complex geometry and boundary constraints. The extra features of DQM are easy to use and capable of producing highly accurate numerical results with minimal computational effort [75]. For vibration study of a transversely isotropic hollow toroid, semi-analytical DQM was used by Jiang and Redekop [76]. Ferreira et al. [77] used the DQM approach to examine the free vibration analysis of laminated composite rectangular plates. Alibeigloo and Alizadeh [78] also utilized DQM to investigate the free vibration response of sandwich FG rectangular plates. Arani et al. [79] studied the natural frequency behavior of porous FG plates using the DQM method based on HSDT. Nejati et al. [80] utilized DQM to investigate the vibration behavior of an FG laminated rectangular plate. To prepare the in-plane natural frequencies of elastically constrained FG rectangular plates, Ji et al.

[85] for the free vibration response of the FG sector plate. Ahlawat and Lal [86] investigated the axisymmetric vibrations of circular functionally graded plates using the generalized DQM technique. The modal analysis of rotating annular discs was accomplished by Shahriari et al. [87] using generalized DQM. Mohammadimehr et al. [88] used DQM to investigate the natural frequencies of annular/ sector FGMs plates. Lal and Saini [89] employed DQM to determine the fundamental frequencies of FG circular plates considering the thermal environment. Behravan Rad [90] investigated static analysis for porous circular BDFGMs plates using DQM. Li et al. [91] investigated the structural behavior of porous BDFGMs rectangular plates using an isogeometric approach. However, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, no findings on the Bidirectional functionally graded porous circular/annular plate have been published. The porosity has a significant impact on the material’s properties and strength, and it is desirable to investigate the influence of porosity on the BDFGM circular/annular plate.

The present work mainly focused on the free vibration response of bi-directional porous FGM circular and annular plates. The DQM technique is used to solve the governing equations based on the FSDT. The natural frequencies of functionally graded (FG) porous circular plates and annular plates are determined, while uniform and non-uniform porosity distributions in the thickness direction are considered. The effects of porosity distributions, porosity volume fraction, material gradation index, radius to thickness ratio, radius ratio, and boundary conditions on the free vibration response of porous bi-directional functionally graded material plates are extensively explored.

2.     Mathematical Formulation

In this paper, consider BDFG porous circular/annular plates instead of unidirectional FG plates in which the material property varies in thickness and radial directions. The coordinate axis is taken at the center of the plate. The inner and outer radiuses of the plate are denoted by "b" and "a", respectively, and thickness is denoted by "h," as illustrated in Fig. 1.

FGMs are one type of composite material in which the mechanical properties vary continuously in the thickness direction. However, this study presents a structural analysis of FG porous circular/annular plate, whose mechanical properties vary continuously in radial and thickness directions, i.e., r and z coordinates. The Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, and mass density of BDFGMs are expressed as:

2.2.             Boundary Condition and Method of Solution

Bellman and his colleagues [96] introduced the DQM in 1972. The DQM method is mostly used to solve ordinary and partial differential equations. The basic idea about DQM is based on the guess quadrature integration method. It may be effectively stated extending the guess quadrature to evaluate the higher-order derivatives of differentiable function gives rise to DQM. In simple words, derivatives of various order can be found by weighted linear sums of the function values at all grid points inside the domain. As discussed in the literature, the DQM is theoretically simple, and it produces very accurate solutions with less computational effort.

The solution domain is divided into several points r_i (i = 1, 2,..., N). The p^th-order derivative of transverse displacement with respect to r at point r_i (with M divisions in that r-direction) is approximated by [97]:

(20)

• is the p^th order derivative weighting coefficient of the function ϕ  at the i^th point in the space domain.
• is the function value at the i^th point in the space domain.

The weighting coefficients  can be calculated using the recurrence relations [97],

The cosine rule is used to create grid point coordinates.

for m = 1, 2,. . ., M.

       The gridpoint distribution on the peripheral (theta) direction is obtained using the following relation for m= 1, 2,…, N.

(25)

The elastic boundary conditions are considered along the edge of the FGM plate are as follows:

(26)

The stiffness constants ( and j = 1, 2, 3, 4) for the respective displacements at the four boundaries (j = 1 for r = b, j = 2 for = 0, j = 3 for r = a and j = 4 for are shown in Fig. 5.

Using the formulation described above, one algebraic equation is obtained for each displacement component at each domain. These equations are derived from either an equilibrium equation or a boundary condition. The following eigenvalue problems were derived from the resulting set of algebraic equations.

(27)

Here, for example, the vector q_b contains the amplitudes for the displacement component. MATLAB software is used to calculate natural frequencies from the eigenvalue equation specified by Eq. (27).

3.     Numerical Results and Discussion

3.1.             Convergence and validation study

In order to demonstrate the validation of the present DQ method, firstly, consider a homogeneous circular plate with clamped and simply supported boundary conditions. The circular plate made up of Material 1 with outer radius (a) = 1.0 m, radius to thickness ratio (a/h) = 100.  In Fig. 6., the numerical results are compared to analytical solutions [9], the Hermite radial basis collocation method (HRBCM) [9], and the isogeometric approach (IGA) [12] with respect to the number of nodes in the radial (M) and circumferential (N) directions. The normalized natural frequency is considered as where . It is observed that the results obtained by DQM are in good agreement at (MxN=14x12) with the analytical solutions, HRBCM and IGA.

Fig. 7. depicts the convergence and comparison studies for grading index in the thickness direction (n₁=0.2, Material 2) with Żur and Jankowski [45] considering clamp (CC) and simply supported (SS) boundary condition. The plate is made up of Material 2. The fundamental frequencies agree in the range of 2%, at (M x N =14x12).

 Tables 2 and 3 demonstrate the convergence results compared to the results of Yin et al. [12] for the first four modes normalized frequencies in the account of different gradient indexes in the thickness direction (n₁), considering both simply supported and clamped boundary condition. The result is obtained by taking the material property of the plate as material 1 with thickness to radius ratio (h/a)=0.01 and grading index in the radial direction (n₂)=0. It is observed that the results obtained by DQM are in good agreement at (MxN=14x12) with the Yin et al. [12] for clamped and simply-supported FGM circular plates.

3.2.             Parametric Study

After validating the present formulation, the results of certain parametric studies are conducted to discuss the effect of various porosity distributions (uniform and non-uniform distribution), porosity volume fraction, radius to thickness ratio (a/h), material gradation index (thickness direction (n₁), and radial direction(n₂)), radius ratio (b/a), and boundary conditions on normalized natural frequencies of porous bi-directional FG plates.

3.2.1.         Influence of porosity distribution

The influence of different porosity distributions, such as uniform (PD1) and non-uniform (PD2) porosity distribution, on normalized natural frequency parameters, is shown in Figs. 8-9 for both simply supported and clamped boundary conditions with Material 1. The material grading index in thickness direction (n₁) and in radial direction (n₂) are considered as (n₁,n₂)=(2,0), (0,2), (2,2), (5,0), (0,5), (5,5)and radius to thickness ratio is taken as (a/h)=10.The normalized natural frequency parameter is considered as,  where .

Figs. 8 (a-b) show the effect of porosity volume fraction (δ) on normalized natural frequencies for clamped porous circular plates with uniform (PD1) and non-uniform (PD2) porosity distribution, respectively. While Figs. 9 (a)-(b) show the effect of porosity volume fraction (δ) on normalized natural frequencies for simply supported porous circular plates with uniform (PD1) and non-uniform (PD2) porosity distribution, respectively.

It is observed that for uniform porosity distribution, the natural frequency decreases with an increase in porosity volume fraction, whereas for non-uniform porosity distribution, the normalized natural frequency increase with the increase in porosity volume fraction for both the clamped and simply supported boundary condition. It is also observed that natural frequency parameters in case of BDFG plates ((n₁,n₂)= (2,2), (5,5)) are less than unidirectional FG plates(n₁,n₂)=(2,0), (0,2), (5,0), (0,5) for both the clamped and simply supported boundary condition.

Fig. 8b. Effect of porosity volume fraction on the normalized natural frequency of clamped (CC) BDFG plates with non-uniform porosity distribution

3.2.2.         Influence of radius to thickness ratio

The effect of radius to thickness ratio (a/h) on normalized natural frequencies of BDFG porous circular plate with clamped and simply-supported boundary conditions are shown in Fig. 10(a-b). In the parametric study, values of the material grading index in thickness (n₁) and radial (n₂) direction are taken as (n₁,n₂) = (1,0), (0,1), (1,1) and the value of porosity volume fraction is taken as (δ) =0.2. The circular BDFG porous plate is made up of material 1.

           It is observed that fundamental frequencies increase with radius to thickness ratio (a/h), but no noticeable variation exceeds (a/h) =20. Again, fundamental frequencies for porous BDFG plates considering both boundary conditions,  are lower than unidirectional FGMs.

3.2.3.         Influence of different material grading indexes

Table 4 shows the effect of different material grading indexes in the thickness direction(n₁) on normalized natural frequencies of clamped circular and annular plates considering uniform (PD1) and non-uniform (PD2) porosity distribution. Table 5 shows the effect of different material grading indexes in the radial direction(n₂) on normalized natural frequencies of clamped circular and annular plates considering uniform and non-uniform porosity. Table 6 shows the effect of different material grading indexes on normalized natural frequencies of the clamped BDFG circular and annular plate with grading index in thickness (n₁) and radial direction (n₂). The radius ratio are taken as (b/a) = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.5 and the value of radius to thickness ratio is taken as (a/h) = 5. The value of porosity volume fraction is taken as (δ) =0.1 with material 1 for Tables 4-6.  

It is seen from Tables 4-6 that normalized natural frequencies increases with the increase in radius ratio(b/a) and decrease with the increase in grading index for both the porosity distribution PD1 and PD2. Furthermore, the natural frequencies of BDFG circular/annular plates are lower than those of unidirectional FG circular/annular plates, and the effect of the grading index on normalised natural frequencies in the radial direction is stronger than the effect of the grading index on normalised natural frequencies in the thickness direction.

3.2.4.         Influence of radius ratio

Now the effect of radius ratio (b/a) on normalized natural frequencies of simply supported BDFG porous plate with uniform (PD1) and non-uniform (PD2) porosity distribution are examined and presented in Figs. 11. (a-b). Fig. 11(a) presents the effect of radius ratio on natural frequencies of simply supported BDFG porous plate with uniform (PD1) porosity distribution, whereas Fig. 11(b) presents the non-uniform (PD2) porosity distribution. the radius ratio are taken as (b/a) = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.5 and the value of radius to thickness ratio is taken as (a/h) = 5. The value of porosity volume fraction is taken as (δ) =0.1.  

It is observed that for both porosity distribution natural frequencies increase with increase in radius ratio and BDFG plates {(n₁, n₂) = (2, 2)} fundamental frequencies is lower than that of unidirectional plates {(n₁, n₂) =(2, 0) or (n₁, n₂) = (0, 2)}. It is observed that in unidirectional FG simply supported porous circular and annular plates, the normalized fundamental frequencies in the thickness direction are more dominant than that of normalized fundamental frequencies in a radial direction.

4.     Conclusions

This study used a differential quadrature method for the free vibration characteristics of bi-directional FGM porous circular/Annular plates. To investigate the effect of porosity on the frequency parameter, two porosity distribution models, uniform and non-uniform, were considered. The power-law method changes the grading index of material properties of a bi-directional FGM plate in the radial and thickness directions utilized to determine material property. The influence of material grading index, types of porosity distribution, porosity volume fraction,  aspect ratios, and boundary conditions over normalized frequency of bi-directional FGM porous pate have also been examined. The conclusions of this numerical analysis can be written as follows:

1. The present solution technique is simple, with a fast computational speed with good accuracy.

Fig. 11a. Effect of radius ratio on fundamental frequencies of simply supported BDFGs circular and annular plates with uniform porosity distribution

Fig. 11b. Effect of radius ratio on fundamental frequencies of simply supported BDFGs circular and annular plates with non-uniform porosity distribution

2. The natural frequency decrease with an increase in porosity volume fraction for uniform porosity distribution, whereas for non-uniform porosity distribution, the normalized natural frequency increase with the increase in porosity volume fraction for non-uniform porosity distribution.
3. The natural frequency increases with increasing (n₁ and n₂) of BDFG plates for both boundary conditions.
4. The normalized natural frequencies increase with the increase in radius ratio(b/a) and decrease with the increase in grading index for uniform and non-uniform porosity distribution PD1 and PD2.
5. The natural frequencies increase with the radius to thickness ratio (a/h), but no noticeable variation exceeds (a/h) =20.
6. The normalized natural frequencies increased with the increase in radius ratio(b/a) and decreased with an increase in grading index for both the porosity distribution PD1 and PD2.

The aforementioned free vibration response may be served as a benchmark for further investigating the BDFGM plates.
