Abstract

In this paper, a double orthogonal polynomial series method is proposed to investigate the guided wave propagation in a two-dimensional (2-D) structure, namely, a FGM ring with a rectangular cross-section. Two kinds of graded rings are considered: material gradient directions being in the radial direction and in the axial direction respectively. Numerical comparison with available reference results for a straightly homogeneous rectangular bar illustrates the validity of the proposed method. The dispersion curves and displacement distributions of various FGM rings, which have different radius to thickness ratios, different material gradient directions and different thickness to height ratios, are calculated to reveal the guided wave characteristics.
