Nonlinear low-velocity impact response of functionally graded plate with nonlinear three-parameter elastic foundation in thermal field

摘要

In this paper a nonlinear investigation is presented for impact response of functionally graded material plates which are resting on a nonlinear three-parameter elastic foundation with simply supported end condition. In foundation, the influence of linear Winkler and Pasternak parameter is taken into account. The governing equations of the plate are derived based on a Reddy's higher order shear deformation theory with the von Karman-type of kinematic nonlinearity. The effect of thermal field is considered and material properties of the plates are assumed to be temperature dependent, as well and vary along the thickness according to Voigt model. In addition, by using a modified Hertz's contact law, the influence of material properties of the substrate layers on impact response is considered. The equations of motion are solved via an analytical procedure. The effects of deformation theories as well as thermal field, foundation parameters and impactor's parameters are discussed in results and discussion section. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.
