Lamb Waves Propagation Characteristics in Functionally Graded Sandwich Plates
SENSORS(2022)
Abstract
Functionally graded materials (FGM) have received extensive attention in recent years due to their excellent mechanical properties. In this research, the theoretical process of calculating the propagation characteristics of Lamb waves in FGM sandwich plates is deduced by combining the FGM volume fraction curve and Legendre polynomial series expansion method. In this proposed method, the FGM plate does not have to be sliced into multiple layers. Numerical results are given in detail, and the Lamb wave dispersion curves are extracted. For comparison, the Lamb wave dispersion curve of the sliced layer model for the FGM sandwich plate is obtained by the global matrix method. Meanwhile, the FGM sandwich plate was subjected to finite element simulation, also based on the layered-plate model. The acoustic characteristics detection experiment was performed by simulation through a defocusing measurement. Thus, the Lamb wave dispersion curves were obtained by V(f, z) analysis. Finally, the influence of the change in the gradient function on the Lamb wave dispersion curves will be discussed.
