Abstract: | In this study, free vibration analysis of moderately thick smart FG annular/circular plates with different boundary conditions is presented on the basis of the Mindlin plate theory. This structure comprised a host FG plate and two bonded piezoelectric layers. Piezoelectric layers are open circuit therefore this plate can be used as a sensor. According to power-law distribution of the volume fraction of the constituents, material properties vary continuously through the thickness of host plate while Poisson's ratio is set to be constant. Using Hamilton's principle and Maxwell electrostatic equation yields six complex coupled equations which are solved via an exact closed-form method. The accuracy of the frequencies is verified by the available literature, finite element method (FEM) and the Kirchhoff theory. The effects of plate parameters like boundary condition and gradient index are investigated and significance of coupling between in-plane and transverse displacements on the resonant frequency is proved. |
