Abstract

This paper adopts the Moving Kriging (MK) interpolation meshless method to analyze the static and dynamic behaviors of stiffened functionally graded material (FGM) plate in thermal environment based on the physical neutral surface. The ribbed FGM plate is regarded as a composite structure of a FGM plate and ribs. The displacement transformation relationship between stiffeners and FGM plates is obtained through the displacement compatible conditions and MK interpolation. The meshfree model for ribbed FGM plate is obtained by superimposing the total energy of the FGM plate and the stiffeners based on the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) and physical neutral surface. The nonlinear temperature field along thickness direction is introduced into the meshless model of stiffened FGM plate. The equations governing the bending and free vibration of the ribbed FGM plate in thermal environment are obtained according to the principle of Minimum Potential Energy and Hamilton’s Principle. Thereafter, several ribbed FGM plate examples in different temperatures and with different locations of ribs are calculated. The results are compared with those given by the ABAQUS and literature. The results show that the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed method in analyzing the ribbed FGM plate in thermal environment.
