Abstract

THIS RESEARCH DEVELOPS NONLINEAR ELECTROMECHANICAL STABILITY OF A CIRCULAR FUNCTIONALLY GRADED PLATE INTEGRATED WITH FUNCTIONALLY GRADED PIEZOELECTRIC LAYERS UNDER COMPRESSIVE RADIAL FORCE. GEOMETRIC NONLINEARITY IS CONSIDERED IN THE STRAIN-DISPLACEMENT RELATION USING VON-KARMAN RELATION. THE STRUCTURE IS LOADED UNDER MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL LOADS. DISTRIBUTION OF ELECTRIC POTENTIAL IS CONSIDERED ALONG THE RADIAL AND THICKNESS DIRECTION. THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF BOTH PIEZOELECTRIC LAYERS IS SHORT-CIRCUITED. THE EFFECT OF VARIOUS VALUES OF NON HOMOGENOUS INDEX FOR BOTH FUNCTIONALLY GRADED (FG) AND FUNCTIONALLY GRADED PIEZOELECTRIC (FGP) LAYERS CAN BE CONSIDERED ON THE RESPONSES OF THE SYSTEM. FURTHERMORE, A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY FOR EVALUATION OF GEOMETRIC PARAMETERS CAN BE PERFORMED ON THE CRITICAL LOADS OF THE STRUCTURE.
