Application of hyperbolic shear deformation theory to free vibration analysis of functionally graded porous plate with piezoelectric face-sheets
M. Arefi and M. Meskini

 
Abstract
    In this paper, hyperbolic shear deformation theory is used for free vibration analysis of piezoelectric rectangular plate made of porous core. Various types of porosity distributions for the porous material is used. To obtain governing equations of motion, Hamilton\'s principle is used. The Navier\'s method is used to obtain numerical results of the problem in terms of significant parameters. One can conclude that free vibration responses are changed significantly with change of important parameters such as various porosities and dimensionless geometric parameters such as thickness to side length ratio and ratio of side lengths.
