Bending and buckling of a rectangular porous plate
K. Magnucki, M. Malinowski and J. Kasprzak

 
Abstract
    A rectangular plate made of a porous material is thernsubject of the work. Its mechanical properties varyrncontinuously on the thickness of a plate. Arnmathematical model of this plate, which bases onrnnonlinear displacement functions taking into accountrnshearing deformations, is presented. The assumedrndisplacement field, linear geometrical and physicalrnrelationships permit to describe the total potentialrnenergy of a plate. Using the principle ofrnstationarity of the total potential energy the set ofrnfive equilibrium equations for transversely and inrnplane loaded plates is obtained. The derivedrnequations are used for solving a problem of a bendingrnsimply supported plate loaded with transversernpressure. Moreover, the critical load of a bi-axiallyrnin-plane compressed plate is found. In both casesrninfluence of parameters on obtained solutions such asrna porosity coefficient or thickness ratio isrnanalysed. In order to compare analytical results arnfinite element model of a porous plate is built usingrnsystem ANSYS. Obtained numerical results are inrnagreement with analytical ones.
