We study the thermal vibration characteristics of graded porous Mindlin circular
plates using the differential quadrature method and Hamilton’s principle. It is
assumed that the performance of gradient porous materials varies continuously in
the whole thickness and the plates have uniform and non-uniform porosity
distributions across their thickness. Based on the Hamilton’s principle, the
free vibration equation of the axisymmetric graded porous circular plates
was derived in terms of the middle surface angles of rotation and lateral
displacement. Then, using the DQ method to solve the coupled ordinary
differential equations with different boundary conditions, the natural frequencies of
graded porous Mindlin circular plates were obtained numerically. The effects of
various factors such as porosity distribution pattern, porosity coefficient,
temperature rise and boundary conditions on the natural frequencies are
discussed.
