Three-dimensional vibration solutions are presented for rectangular functionally graded plates with different boundary conditions, based on the small strain linear elasticity theory. The material properties are assumed to vary as a power form of the thickness coordinate. The Ritz method with Chebyshev displacement functions is used to solve the vibration problem of functionally graded plates. The convergence and comparison studies demonstrate the accuracy and correctness of the present method. The effects of aspect and thickness ratios, and gradient index, on the free vibration frequencies are investigated. Some results are given in the form of tables and figures, which can serve as the benchmark for further research.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
