Abstract

This work investigates the thermo-mechanical bending response of porous functionally graded sandwich plates which can be considered for military and civil use. Integral four-unknown shear deformation theory is proposed to present the kinematic of the structure. The differential equilibrium equations are determined via the principle of virtual work and solved with Navier’s procedure. The influence of porosity parameters is examined to explain the structural integrity of such structures that can be utilized in military and civil industries. In addition, a detailed parametric investigation is performed to highlight the impact of the “volume fraction variation”, “geometrical ratios” and “thermal load” on thermo-mechanical bending response of the porous functionally graded sandwich plates.
