Abstract
This study examines the nonlinear dynamic response of sandwich plates placed on the Kerr elastic substrate under blast loading. The plate is composed of an auxetic honeycomb core and functionally graded material (FGM) coating layers. The volume fraction of FGM is determined following the power-law model (P-FGM). The equations of motion of the plate are formulated by using the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) in conjunction with the use of the Airy stress function. The Runge-Kutta scheme, with the assistance of the Galerkin technique, is utilized in the present study to obtain numerical results for the nonlinear dynamic response of the plate. After verifying the proposed solution, the influences of material characteristics, blast loading, elastic substrate, and geometry parameters on the free vibration and nonlinear dynamic behavior of the plate are investigated comprehensively. The results show that negative Poisson’s ratio has a significant effect on the linear and nonlinear vibration characteristics of the auxetic-FGM sandwich plate.
