Free vibration characteristics of functionally graded porous spherical shell with general boundary conditions by using first-order shear deformation theory

摘要

The paper analyzed the free vibration of functionally graded porous spherical shell (FGPSS) based on Ritz method. The energy method and first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) are adopted to derive the formulas. In this paper, the displacement functions are improved on basis of domain decomposition method, in which the unified Jacobi polynomials are introduced to represent the displacement functions component along meridional direction, and the displacement functions component along circumferential direction is still Fourier series. In addition, the spring stiffness method is formed a unified format to deal with various complex boundary conditions and continuity conditions. Then the final solutions can be obtained based on Ritz method. To prove the validity of proposed method, the results of the same condition are compared with those obtained by FEM, published literatures and experiment. The results show that the proposed method has advantages of fast convergence, high calculation efficiency, high solution accuracy and simple boundary simulation.
