Flexural Behavior of Perforated Functionally Graded Composite Panels under Complex Loading Conditions: Higher-Order Finite-Element Approach

The flexural behavior of functionally graded composite panels with single and multiple rectangular perforations is examined subjected to complex loading conditions, including uniform/sinusoidal pressure and uniform/linear/nonlinear thermal field. The constituent materials are assumed to be temperature-dependent, whereas the instantaneous material properties are evaluated using the power-law function via Voigt’s homogenization scheme. Here, the...
