Abstract

ABSTRACTThis paper investigates the nonlinear dynamic response of thick functionally graded materials (FGM) plates using the third-order shear deformation plate theory and stress function. The FGM plate is assumed to rest on elastic foundations and subjected to thermal and damping loads. Numerical results for dynamic response of the FGM plate are obtained by Runge–Kutta method. The results show the influences of geometrical parameters, the material properties, the elastic foundations, and thermal loads on the nonlinear dynamic response of FGM plates.
