Resumen
The present work aims at investigating the hygrothermal effect on the natural frequencies of functionally graded (FG) annular plates integrated with piezo-magneto-electro-elastic layers resting on a Pasternak elastic foundation. The formulation is based on a layer-wise (LW) theory, where the Hamiltonian principle is used to obtain the governing equation of the problem involving temperature- and moisture-dependent material properties. The differential quadrature method (DQM) is applied here as a numerical strategy to solve the governing equations for different boundary conditions. The material properties of FG annular plates are varied along the thickness based on a power law function. The accuracy of the proposed method is, first, validated for a limit-case example. A sensitivity study of the free vibration response is, thus, performed for different input parameters, such as temperature and moisture variations, elastic foundation, boundary conditions, electric and magnetic potential of piezo-magneto-electro-elastic layers and geometrical ratios, with useful insights from a design standpoint.
