Tóm tắt

A semi-analytical model is developed for the electro-thermoelastic free vibration of functionally graded porous sandwich plates with orthogonal stiffeners. The plate comprises a PoFGPie top face sheet, a porous metal-foam core, and a fully dense stiffened FGM bottom face sheet. A four-variable shear deformation theory (HSDT4), the Lekhnitskii smeared-stiffener model, and the pb²-Ritz method are combined in a unified formulation. A cosine-linear electric potential and uniform (UTR), linear (LTR), and nonlinear (NLTR) temperature rises are considered. The model is validated against published 3D, finite-element, and coupled-field solutions. Parametric studies cover core porosity, material gradation, layer thickness, stiffeners, voltage, geometry, boundary conditions, and thermal loading. Within the investigated ranges, increasing core porosity raises the fundamental dimensionless frequency because mass reduction dominates stiffness loss. Greater stiffener height raises the frequency, but the best stiffener orientation depends on the boundary condition and two-directional stiffening is not always optimal. Negative voltage produces a stiffening effect, positive voltage a softening effect, and thermal loading reduces the frequency, with UTR causing the largest decrease.
