Advanced Functionally Graded Plate-Type Structures Impacted By Blast Loading

Abstract

A Structural Model of the dynamic response of functionally graded plates exposed to a free in-air blast with simply supported boundary conditions has been presented. As the volume fraction of ceramic increases, the deflections become smaller with higher frequencies in contrast to metal phase. The symmetric construction due to being stiffer has smaller deflections and higher frequencies as compared to the asymmetric construction. For a fixed compressive edge load, as the metal concentration increases, the deflections increase with decreasing frequencies.
