Stationary Stochastic Response Analysis of the FG-GPLRC Irregular Quadrilateral Plate Based on the Chebyshev–Ritz Method
Abstract
The stationary random response characteristics of irregular quadrilateral plates under the base acceleration excitation are investigated in this paper. The computational model chosen in this paper is functionally graded graphene platelet reinforced composites (FG-GPLRC). Simultaneously, the material parameters are calculated employing the modified Halpin–Tsai model. A unified dynamic model based on the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) is proposed for FG-GPLRC irregular plates, where the displacement variables are considered as the first kind Chebyshev polynomials combined with coordinate transformation. The Chebyshev–Ritz method is utilized to derive the kinetic equations of irregular quadrilateral plates, and then the pseudo-excitation method (PEM) is employed to solve the stationary stochastic response of the system under the base acceleration excitation. The free vibration and stationary stochastic response of the plates under various boundaries are validated by a sufficient number of numerical studies, and the computational results display a favorable match with the published literature and finite element method (FEM), which verifies the correctness and reliability of the present method. Finally, a detailed parametric analysis of the stationary stochastic response characteristics of FG-GPLRC irregular quadrilateral plates is presented. The effects of various mass fractions, number of layers, geometric dimensions of GPL, and boundary constraints on the stationary stochastic vibration behaviors of FG-GPLRC irregular quadrilateral plates are considered.
