Abstract
ABSTRACT In this paper, the radial basis collocation method (RBCM) for the free vibration response of elastically supported porous bi-directional functionally graded (BDPFG) plate is investigated in a framework of higher-order shear deformation theory (HSDT). The material properties of BDPFG plates are assumed to be varying continuously in the length and thickness direction. The material properties are evaluated based on Voigt’s micro-mechanical model considering power law distribution method with arbitrary power index. Governing differential equations (GDEs) of the porous BFGM plate area achieved utilising Hamilton’s principle and multiquadric radial basis function (MQRBF) is used for discretizing the GDEs. To incorporate porosity in the BDPFG plate, five types of porosity distribution models are carried out and analysed. The present results are validated with the available published results in the literature to certify the efficacy and accuracy. The influence of grading index in the length and thickness direction, porosity distribution, porosity index, span to thickness ratio, and elastic foundation over natural frequency of bi-directional BDPFG plate is investigated which is the main contribution.
