Abstract
The paper presents an analysis of functionally graded material doubly curved panels with rectangular planform under the action of thermal and mechanical loads. Based on the first-order shear deformation theory of modified Sanders assumptions, five coupled partially differential equations (PDEs) are established as equations of motion. Each thermo-mechanical property of the shell follows the power law distribution across the thickness, except Poisson’s ratio, which is kept constant through the panel. Assuming that four edges of the shell-panel are simply supported, a Navier-based solution is adopted to reduce the PDEs into time-dependent ODEs. Applying the Laplace transformation, the equations of motion are transformed into the Laplace domain. With the aid of analytical Laplace inverse method, solutions of stresses, strains, and displacements are obtained in time domain and expressed in explicit phrases. Dynamic, free vibration, and thermo-mechanical bending analysis of the panel is carried out for various geometries. Obtained results are validated with the well-known available data reported in the literature.
