Abstract

Present study aims to investigate the influence of material uncertainties on vibration and bending behaviour of skewed sandwich FGM plates. Reddy's higher order shear deformation theory has been employed to model the displacement field. Variational approach has been used to derive the governing differential equations. Effect of material uncertainties in the formulation have been incorporated using first order perturbation technique (FOPT). An efficient stochastic finite element formulation (SFEM) have been used for the calculation of first and second order statics of natural frequency and transverse deflection. Validation of the results have been performed with the help of available literature and separately developed Monte Carlo formulation (MCS) algorithm. A large number of examples have been solved to quantify the effect of uncertainties on the vibration and bending characteristics of functionally graded skew sandwich plates.
