Abstract
In this paper, the free vibration of functionally graded annular plates on elastic foundations, based on the three-dimensional theory of elasticity, using the differential quadrature method for different boundary conditions including simply supported–clamped, clamped–clamped and free–clamped ends is investigated. The foundation is described by the Pasternak or two-parameter model. A semi-analytical approach composed of differential quadrature method (DQM) and series solution are adopted to solve the equations of motions. The material properties change continuously through the thickness of the plate, which can vary according to power law, exponentially or any other formulations in this direction. The fast rate of convergence of the method is demonstrated, and comparison studies are carried out to establish its very high accuracy and versatility. Some new results for the natural frequencies of the plate are prepared, which include the effects of elastic coefficients of foundation, boundary conditions, material and geometrical parameters. The new results can be used as benchmark solutions for future researches.
