Abstract
Because there is no literature on the effect of thermal loadings on guided wave propagation in FG plates, the present paper is to fill the gap. In the present paper, the wave propagation analysis of porous FG plates with clamped ends in thermal environments based on first order shear deformation theory are presented. The plates are exposed to various types of thermal loading including uniform and non-uniform temperature changes, the material properties of FG plates are temperature- and porosity-dependent. Using the Galerkin method, we obtain the dispersion relation of thermoelastic waves in porous functionally graded plates. Compared with the previous results, the correctness of the present work is verified. In the end, the effects of the temperature changes, porosity as well as power law index on the phase velocity and group velocity of the guided wave are investigated.
