Abstract: In this paper, the free vibration behavior of functionally graded (FG) thin annular sector plates in thermal environment is studied using the differential quadrature method (DQM). The material properties of the FG plate ...

Abstract: The linear lateral free vibration analysis of the rotor is performed based on a new insight on the Timoshenko beam theory. Rotary inertia, gyroscopic effects, and shear deformations are included, but the torsion is neglected ...
