Resumen de Bending response of porous advanced composite plates under thermomechanical loads
Bachir Bouderba, Hamza Madjid Berrabah
The new composite functionally classified materials (FGM) used in plates contain probably a porosity volume fraction which needs taking into account this aspect of imperfection in the thermo-mechanical behavior of such structures. A refined shear deformation theory is developed to investigate the thermo-mechanical bending response of porous advanced composite plates such as functionally graded plates by using Navier solution.
This work presents a model that employed a new transverse shear function by decomposing the transverse displacements into two parts, the bending part and shear part, the simplified refined shear deformation theory has less unknowns than the first-order shear deformation theory, the higherorder shear deformation theory, the sinusoidal shear deformation theory and the quasi-3D theory, so its computational expenses are reduced. In addition, the new refined theory needs no shear correction factor. The comparisons of deflection, axial stresses, and transverse shear stresses of the porous FGM plates obtained by the proposed theory, these results are compared with others in the literature.
