Chebyshev finite element method for dynamic analysis of functionally graded sandwich plates lying on an elastic foundation subjected to harmonic loading
This study presents a Chebyshev finite element method (C-FEM) for the dynamic analysis of functionally graded sandwich (FGS) plates lying on an elastic foundation (EF) and subjected to harmonic loading (HL). The FGS plate consists of two functionally graded (FG) face sheets and either a hard-core (Type 1) or a soft-cor...
