Abstract
Layered functionally graded (FG) plate plays an important role in engineering constructions. In this work, an efficient analytical solution is proposed to investigate the time-dependent characters of layered FG plate with viscoelastic interlayers, in which each FG layer is described by the elasticity theory, and the interlayer viscoelasticity is simulated by the generalized Maxwell model. The constitutive equations in the interlayer are simplified, and then, the analytical solutions of stresses and displacements for the layered FG plate are solved by virtue of the efficient recursive matrix method. Some examples are analyzed to investigate the influences of geometric and material characteristics on the long-term behaviors for the FG plate.
